Description

What is an art of life for what feels like the end of a world? In Raving McKenzie Wark takes readers into the undisclosed locations of New York's thriving underground queer and trans rave scene. Techno, first and always a Black music, invites fresh sonic and temporal possibilities for this era of diminishing futures. Raving to techno is an art and a technique at which queer and trans bodies might be particularly adept but which is for anyone who lets the beat seduce them. Extending the rave's sensations, situations, fog, lasers, drugs, and pounding sound systems onto the page, Wark invokes a trans practice of raving as a timely aesthetic for dancing in the ruins of this collapsing capital.

Editorial Reviews

"Raving is a short book that is exceptionally self-aware. Wark succinctly narrates what to expect, makes apparent what frameworks she is thinking with, and offers keywords to ground every chapter. Summarizing it felt like it would crush the loose and giddy writing, and parsing it out chapter by chapter (each nicely encapsulating critical social themes of temporality, relation, desire, and assemblage) would eviscerate the synergies between them. It is a vibrant model for a different kind of a critical and philosophical study of performance communities, simultaneously theoretical and fleshy."--Kareem Khubchandani "Dance Chronicle" (6/24/2024 12:00:00 AM)
