The Problem With...THE FETISH!

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....KITSCH!

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.

Please note: This is a handmade zine and, by definition, will consequently have imperfections.

On Waking & Walking...


This booklet is for anyone interested in experimental prose/poetry, wordplay, philosophy, psychogeography, walking, psychoanalysis, and dreams, amongst other themes. The text steps in and out of wakefulness via the movement of walking. It 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. The prose texts involve imaginary interviews with people both real, dead, and fictional, and experiential texts on actual walks. Some of the contributions also include experimental forms that are coextensive with the contents of the text themselves.


The following is an endorsement by Phil Dickinson/Mere Pseud (Bowling Green State University/Crystal City):
Wa(l)king through the sixteen stations in T Richardson's newest zine is a desire-path pilgrimage of becoming-self, becoming-word, becoming-footfall, becoming-synapse, an uncanny encounter with "something that tugs and twists inside." Sixteen stepz across thresholds & wormholes of concrete poetry, mindfall mazes of mythic conversation, I/eye as iteration, creativity as cloud-edge congealment, movement as mantra, suturing a self stitched back through the science of ghosts to deathfugue & dreams & purloined theorylines even as the wa(l)king mind evaporates like breath forward!, forward!, out&into the pink significations of the mall. Highly recommended!
Format
The booklet is A5 size with a coloured high-gloss cover. The text inside is black and white.
