What is the Gothic? Is it merely a style of supernatural fiction? Or is it deeper: a rupture of the irrational into the rational; the emergence of the unthinking, inorganic forces that move us. Mark Fisher:pic.twitter.com/cTKPwvIdyH
Against the postmodern (which never surpasses its Enlightenment roots), the Gothic charts an escape from humanist forms of aesthetics. At its core is not the human-centred sublime of Kant, but the inhuman abstract of Worringer and Deleuze. An art without a human agent. Fisher:pic.twitter.com/xvUJirXb4i
The philosophy of Spinoza generates a Gothic view of the world—founded on what Mark Fisher would later call “the eerie”—a world in which agency is inhuman, identity is porous, and the subject is submerged in the deep processes which surround it. Fisher:pic.twitter.com/uenrlT3Kgk
Is this from the hauntology book?
It’s from his thesis, Flatline Constructs. It’s recently been put in print, and is accessible online (either from the publisher’s website, or with some help from http://archive.org )
