K-punk: The Collected and Unpublished Writings of Mark Fisher

by Mark Fisher

Description

This wide-ranging collection gathers the influential criticism, cultural commentary, and political thought of Mark Fisher, tracing the development of his distinctive voice from the mid-2000s through 2016. Drawing on his seminal k-punk blog, reviews, essays, interviews, and previously unpublished work, it explores music, film, television, politics, activism, precarity, mental health, hauntology, and the possibilities of collective social change. Fisher’s sharp, accessible writing reveals how popular culture both reflects contemporary life and can open pathways toward imagining a different future. The volume culminates in material related to his unfinished project on “Acid Communism,” offering an essential portrait of one of the most significant critical thinkers and writers of his generation.
