"Vernacular postmodernism has dealt with the 'crisis of symbolic efficiency' in a far less intense way than Nick Land, through metafictional anxieties about the function of the author, and in television programs or films which expose the mecha- nisms of their own productions and reflexively incorporate discussions of their own status as commodities. But postmod- ernism's supposed gestures of demystification do not evince sophistication so much as a certain naivety, a conviction that there were others, in the past, who really believed in the Symbolic. In fact, of course, 'symbolic efficiency' was achieved precisely by maintaining a clear distinction between a material- empirical causality, and another, incorporeal causality proper to the Symbolic..." - Mark Fisher, Capitalist Realism First Blood - 1982 - Ted Kotcheff Flooding With Love For The Kid - 2010 - Zachary Oberzan Sponsor: subnormality.ca Email: allunitspodcast@gmail.com Subscribe on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/all-units/id1241776225?mt=2

"A biography is always constructed from ruins but, as any archaeologist will tell you, there is never the means to unearth all the rooms, or follow the buried roads, or dig into every cistern for treasure. You try to see what the ruin meant to whoever inhabited it and, if you are lucky, you see a little way backward into time." - Loren Eiseley, All the Strange Hours: The Excavation of a Life Sponsor: subnormality.ca email: allunitspodcast@gmail.com
