Robert Johnson Theorie 20
requiem for the hardcore continuum
The lecture will be about the end of the future in British music, with specific reference to the hardcore continuum. In the 90s, the future was still rushing in, but since the turn of the millennium everything has slowed down. Why has this happened, and what are the prospects for reviving a sense of futurity in dance music?
Mark Fisher is the author of capitalist realism (2009) and ghost of my life: Writings on Depression, Hauntology and Lost Futures (2014). His writing has appeared in many publications, including The Wire, Frieze, The Guardian and New Humanist. He is Programme Leader of the MA in Aural and Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths, University of London and a lecturer at the University of East London. He has also produced two acclaimed audio-essays in collaboration with Justin Barton: londonunderlondon (2005) and on vanishing land (2013).
