- More about There Is an Alternative: With Herbert Marcuse and Mark Fisher Towards a Political Aesthetics of Neoliberalism
The book aims to formulate an opening for aesthetic critique in the climate of contemporary neoliberal capitalism through the theoretical synthesis of Herbert Marcuse, Fredric Jameson, and Mark Fisher.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 149 pages
Publication date: 27 October 2022
Publisher: Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG
The book aims to delve deeply into the contemporary challenges posed by neoliberalism and its intricate relationship with culture and ideology. Through a theoretical synthesis that seamlessly weaves together the emancipatory aesthetics of Herbert Marcuse, Fredric Jameson's groundbreaking analysis of the cultural logic of late capitalism, and the thought-provoking work of Mark Fisher on post-capitalist desire and acid communism, it seeks to unravel the complexities of this socio-economic system. The primary objective is to establish a viable (and, as it turns out, indispensable) space for aesthetic critique within the context of contemporary neoliberal capitalism. This mode of aesthetic critique is then brought to life through an exemplary reading of Ben Lerner's 2014 novel 10:04, which serves as a powerful testament to the potential of art to challenge and subvert the dominant narratives of our time.
