ABSTRACT

We present an invited interview with Professor James Fitchett (University of Leicester) on the idea of dystopia and dystopic tendencies in the historical moment of the Covid-19 pandemic.¹ With his wonderfully nuanced background in psychoanalytic theory and a keen interest in understanding market phenomena critically through ideology, paradox, fantasy, simulation, narcissism and sadism among others, James provides a sweeping and sometimes surprising account of how utopia can be both quite selfish and mundanely bland, and how dystopia can be vastly attractive and deeply desired in consumption.

反乌托邦和隔离市场——詹姆斯·菲切特访谈

摘要

我们邀请 James Fitchett 教授（莱斯特大学）就 Covid-19 大流行历史时刻的反乌托邦和反乌托邦倾向进行了采访。¹凭借他在精神分析理论方面奇妙而细致入微的背景，以及对通过意识形态、悖论、幻想、模拟、自恋和虐待狂等批判性地理解市场现象的浓厚兴趣，詹姆斯对乌托邦如何既是自私又是平淡无奇，以及反乌托邦如何在消费中具有极大的吸引力和渴望。
