Wark Mckenzie - Raving - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: What is an art of life for what feels like the end of a world? In Raving Mc Kenzie Wark takes readers into the undisclosed locations of New York's thriving underground queer and trans rave scene. Techno first and always a Black music invites fresh sonic and temporal possibilities for this era of diminishing futures. Raving to techno is an art and a technique at which queer and trans bodies might be particularly adept but which is for anyone who lets the beat seduce them. Extending the rave's sensations situations fog lasers drugs and pounding sound systems onto the page Wark invokes a trans practice of raving as a timely aesthetic for dancing in the ruins of this collapsing capital.
