“today it is easier to imagine the end of the world rather than an end to capitalism” (Jameson/Zizek)

WORM parallel university starts a new theme on Capitalist Realism the coming months. We start out with Mark Fisher, author of the book 'Capitalist Realism'. The question he poses is: can we think of a life without capitalism? How would that look like?

Mark will tell his story with the help of film fragments such as Never Let Me Go, In Time ... and children of men.

Mark Fisher

Mark Fisher alias K-Punk has over the last decade established himself as an academic equivalent to Colonel Kurtz (Apocalypse Now) bringing together deep insides of popular music with psychoanalysis, political analysis and speculative fiction creating, what Sukhdev Sandhu names, an extraordinary body of rogue scholarship, a theory-rush with few parallels.

Fisher is the author of ‘Capitalist Realism’, the editor of ‘The Resistible Demise of Michael Jackson’ (both Zer0, 2009), and writes regularly for Sight and Sound, Film Quarterly, The Wire and Frieze, as well as maintaining a well-known blog at k-punk.abstractdynamics.org. He teaches at the University of East London, Goldsmiths, University of London, and the City Literary Institute. (copied from vimeo)
