This collection of writings by Mark Fisher, author of the acclaimed Capitalist Realism, argues that we are haunted by futures that failed to happen. Fisher searches for the traces of these lost futures in the work of David Peace, John Le Carre, Christopher Nolan, Joy Division, Burial and many others.

Den lange mørke nat ved historiens afslutning er nødt til at blive forstået som en enorm mulighed. Den kapitalistiske realismes omsiggribende undertrykkelse betyder, at selv små glimt af politiske og økonomiske muligheder kan få en uproportionelt stor effekt. Den mindste begivenhed kan rive et hul i det grå forhæng, som har markeret handlingsmulighedernes horisont under den kapitalistiske realisme. Fra en situation, hvor intet nogensinde kunne ske, er alting pludselig muligt igen.

What exactly are the Weird and the Eerie? In this new essay, Mark Fisher argues that some of the most haunting and anomalous fiction of the 20th centurybelongsto these two modes. The Weird and the Eerie are closely related but distinct modes, each possessing its own distinct properties. Both have often been associated with Horror, yet this emphasis overlooks the aching fascination that such texts can exercise. The Weird and the Eerie both fundamentally concern the outside and the unknown, which are not intrinsically horrifying, even if they are always unsettling.Perhaps a proper understanding of the human condition requires examination of liminal concepts such as the weird and the eerie.These two modes will be analysed with reference to the work of authors such as H. P. Lovecraft,H. G. Wells, M.R. James, Christopher Priest, Joan Lindsay, Nigel Kneale, Daphne Du Maurier, Alan Garner and Margaret Atwood, and films by Stanley Kubrick, JonathanGlazerand Christoper Nolan.

Inspireret af de modkulturelle bevægelser i 1960’erne og 1970’erne præsenterer Mark Fisher ideen om syrekommunisme som en måde at forestille sig en anden verden på, der kombinerer politisk aktivisme med psykedelisk kultur. Fisher opfor­drer til at genopdage det utopiske potentiale i disse bevægelser og lade os inspirere til at skabe en ny kultur baseret på kollektive behov og alter­native fællesskaber. Med udgangspunkt i tankerne i Kapitalistisk realisme. Findes der ikke noget alternativ? og Ghosts of My Life. Writings in Depression, Hauntology + Lost Futures kritiserer Fisher neoliberalismens gennemgribende bemægtigelse af alle livets facetter og advokerer for at overvinde nutidens fremmedgørelse og isolation gennem fantasi og eksperimentering. Hans arbejde tilskynder til en nytænkning af venstreorienteret politik med det formål at genantænde håbet og muligheden for en mere retfærdig og glædesfyldt fremtid. Syrekommu­nisme er således både en kritik og en opfordring til handling, der giver læseren mod på at forestille sig og stræbe efter en radikalt anderledes verden.Den britiske forfatter Mark Fisher (f. 1968, d. 2017) var kulturkritiker, filosof og lektor ved Goldsmiths University i London. Han var kendt som en uovertruffen formidler og skrev op igen­nem 00’erne og 10’erne om politiske, aktivistiske og filosofiske emner på sin blog k-punk.org. Bloggen var et fristed for komplekse debatter uden for den akademiske verden og inspirerede mange til at give sig i kast med aktivisme og finde alternativer til den kapitalistiske kultur. Fisher udgav flere bøger, herunder Ghosts of My Life. Writings on Depression, Hauntology + Lost Futures og The Weird And The Eerie, men han er især kendt for den nu klassiske Kapitalistisk realisme. Findes der ikke noget alternativ?, der udkom på dansk på forlaget Antipyrine i 2021.
