General Intellects - with McKenzie Wark | Virtual Futures Salon

McKenzie Wark returned to Virtual Futures for the first time since 1995 to present his guide to the thinkers and ideas that will shape the future. He was joined by Prof. Steve Fuller (University of Warwick) to dicuss the topics outlined in his new book 'General Intellects: Twenty-One Thinkers for the Twenty-First Century' (Verso Books, 2017). What happened to the public intellectuals that used to challenge and inform us? Who is the Sartre or De Beauvoir of the internet age? McKenzie Wark argues that we no longer have such singular figures, but there are, instead, general intellects whose writing could, if read collectively, explain our times. Covering topics such as culture, politics, work, technology, and the Anthropocene, each chapter is a concise account of an individual thinker, providing useful context and connections to the work of the others. McKenzie Wark’s distinctive readings are appreciations, but are nonetheless critical of how neoliberal universities militate against cooperative intellectual work that endeavors to understand and also change the world. He is the Chair of Culture and Media at Eugene Lang College and Liberal Studies at The New School for Social Research (NSSR).
