Inhalt: Is there a desire for something that goes beyond capitalism? With this question, Mark Fisher opened his last and unfinished lectures. In this seminar, we will take up and explore Fisher's question. What is the relationship between emancipation politics and desire? And between sexuality, culture and civilisation? And between body and politics? In this way, we will return to reflect on one of the issues that have crossed psychoanalysis, political philosophy and contemporary critical theory. Initially, we will focus on selected readings and presentations from some of Sigmund Freud's texts and some of his critics (in particular, Herbert Marcuse). We will continue by delving deeper into the debate on libidinal economy in France, and then approach the queer issue in its link with politics. A special space will be dedicated to the discussion of Mark Fisher's unfinished political-theoretical proposal.
