The Weird, Eerie, Exit Pedagogy of Mark Fisher
Stock, Nicholas
Pedagogy, Culture and Society, v31 n4 p775-791 2023
Since the death of cultural critic Mark Fisher and the posthumous release of his final lectures Postcapitalist Desire, conversation surrounding his teaching and pedagogy has started to arise. This article thus seeks to (partly) formalise Fisher's pedagogy into concepts that might contribute to broader pedagogical discourse. Building on and ultimately moving beyond the school of critical pedagogy, I examine the way Fisher's pedagogy seeks to exit a state of capitalist realism and cultural inertia, something that can be achieved by a range of strategies such as attuning to weird and eerie affects, raising/razing consciousness and experimenting with medium. Ultimately, these examples raise concerns about the very nature of pedagogy itself and thus, in line with Fisher's desire to exit capitalist realism, posit the question whether pedagogy needs exiting too. Formalisation of his pedagogy therefore always remains problematic.
