On Waking & Walking...

This experimental poetry and prose booklet is both a play on words and an expression of the author’s interests as both a psychogeographer and an academic who studies psychoanalytic theory. The texts included here range from poems that reflect dream-like states, to rhythmic verses that imitate the act of walking itself. More info...

The Problem With...THE FETISH!

 


This zine is for anyone interested in 'love tokens', both historic and contemporary, and capital as theoretical subjects. The author uses key cultural studies critique from political and psychoanalytical theories in order to analyse and compare the two subjects.

Both these theories cover, amongst many other things, the way objects are fetishised and hence how they are removed from their ‘true’ origins. Here the author looks at desire (sex/romance) and capitalism (money/production) by providing a number of examples of how they are connected.


The zine is A5 size and includes text and coloured images and is available in both hard copy and digital format. The cover is coloured card (colour not specified).

Price: The zine is £4.90 and postage for UK comes under standard letter. Please enquire for international postage. The digital copy of the zine is £2.50 and will be provided via an email account.
