Bodhi O'Shea“The current ruling ontology denies any possibility of a social causation of mental illness. The chemico-biologization of mental illness is of course strictly commensurate with its depoliticization. Considering mental illness an individual chemico-biological problem has enormous benefits for capitalism. First, it reinforces Capital’s drive towards atomistic individualization (you are sick because of your brain chemistry). Second, it provides an enormously lucrative market in which multinational pharmaceutical companies can peddle their pharmaceuticals (we can cure you with our SSRIs). It goes without saying that all mental illnesses are neurologically instantiated, but this says nothing about their causation. If it is true, for instance, that depression is constituted by low serotonin levels, what still needs to be explained is why particular individuals have low levels of serotonin. This requires a social and political explanation; and the task of repoliticizing mental illness is an urgent one if the left wants to challenge capitalist realism.”<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MarkFisher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MarkFisher</a> "Capitalist Realism"

The WeaverHi all! I’m looking for interesting accounts that talk sometimes about <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/LiteraryCriticism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LiteraryCriticism</a>, or maybe other <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/literature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#literature</a> and <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/CriticalTheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CriticalTheory</a>-based accounts. I’ve tried searching for authors I like, but haven’t had a huge amount of luck beyond finding posts. I’m especially looking for <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/SciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SciFi</a> criticism, but am curious about a lot of other genres too. Some other things I like are <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/DFW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DFW</a>, <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/MarkFisher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MarkFisher</a>, <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/PKD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PKD</a>, <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/BeckyChambers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BeckyChambers</a>, <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Solarpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Solarpunk</a>, <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Cyberpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cyberpunk</a>, <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Existentialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Existentialism</a>, <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/ArabLit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ArabLit</a>, <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Metamodernism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Metamodernism</a>.
