Mark Fisher and Communication Theories:

theoretical-methodological approaches

Abstract

The text discusses the relevance of the writings of the English philosopher and cultural critic Mark Fisher (1968-2017) to the field of Communication. It intends to inquire about a possible communicational episteme inscribed in Fisher's texts (or to be extracted from them in the future). In order to do so, it focuses on the way in which certain media objects appear in their analyzes and authorize conceptual projections; the way in which canonical authors in our area (such as Herbert Marcuse and Stuart Hall) are revisited and repotentialized; their writing experiences, whether in blogs, pseudo-academic publications or in the specialized music press, as a kind of “public intellectual” and his role as an (involuntary) archaeologist of English digital culture he mid-1990s.
