Carving out a trajectory from popmod post-punk into the not so distant future, we will be thinking Mark’s work as a dancefloor, bringing you a mixture of live acts and DJs, affirming what Simon Reynolds describes as “the power that music has held out for successive generations, and the challenge of activating music’s promise in the world beyond.”

Bruno Verner and Eli Mejorado introduce 'Tranny Fag' [Bixa Travesti] - a film by Claudia Priscilla, Kiko Goifman (Brazil, 2018).

Tranny Fag depicts the life of Brazilian musician and spoken word artist Linn da Quebrada, a self-proclaimed ‘tranny fag’, who uses her body and music as weapons to fight machismo, transphobia, racism and conformity. Quebrada and performance partner Jup do Bairro speak candidly from their lived experience as queers of colour growing up in the outskirts of São Paulo, and the challenges of breaking into the country’s heteronormative funk scene.

An Island of Disparity - Bruno Verner introduces Terra em Transe by Glauber Rocha (1967)

An Island of Disparity: Summer screening series at Goldsmiths 

by Mountain of Art Research

An Island of Disparity brings different perspectives and points of view together, in a quest to survey a space of heterogeneity. The platform is a weekly informal movie & snacks during the summer term led by/for Goldsmiths postgraduate students from different departments. Every week a postgraduate researcher is invited to share a film in relation to his/her research. The programme asks and intents to reflect on the role and position of Goldsmiths through research students, on institutional and social issues affecting minorities. 

An Island of Disparity aims to establish a safe space to question traditional academic stances through artistic and experimental approaches. As a result, we intent to stimulate cross-disciplinary exchange of perspectives between postgraduate students, and foster intercultural dialogue in the academic sphere, by presenting films from the “Global South” (with English subtitles) and disseminate research around subaltern subjects.

Against the Slow Cancellation of the Future - CCS MA conference at the Centre of Cultural Studies, Goldsmiths - University of London.

An anti-disciplinary conference organized by the MA students of the Centre for Cultural Studies (CCS), Goldsmiths, University of London. 

It seems at once obvious and naïve that we look to the future when considering the transformation of society as a project in which we ourselves take part. Though the questioning of the unbridled futurity of modernism is undoubtedly important, we now find ourselves at a point in which forward-looking, transformative or utopian projects are increasingly hard to even imagine.

Our frame of reference is Franco “Bifo” Berardi’s “slow cancellation of the future”, which we in the same breath proclaim our opposition to. Mark Fisher reminds us that its meaning “is not only that sense of termination, but [also] the gradual nature of it”; the future not having been unashamedly ripped from our grasp, but rather stolen away silently, piece by piece.

We are not so presumptuous as to declare the slow cancellation of the future a completed process. Indeed it is perhaps in the very moment at which we accept the definitive conclusion of this project – thus admitting it ourselves – that the future truly ceases to exist. And this is precisely why we meet: to discuss what we might do as activists, thinkers, groups and initiatives, against the slow cancellation of the future.

Bruno Verner // No Nights: Post Punk, Death Sambas and Other Transitions in Brazil

Franco ‘Bifo’ Berardi, describes the year 1977 in ‘After the Future’ as a turning point in the history of culture, technology and philosophical thought with the abandonment of the illusions in relation to the ‘utopias of future’ and the arrival of a decade of intense modernization, privatization and functional spirit set by the neoliberal counter-revolution. This new world order signalized the inauguration of an exorbitant capitalist realist pervasive atmosphere on an international scale, altering processes of subjectivity around the world and affecting the forces of desire, creation and action.

Brazil did not escape these forces. However, it still trusted its “future” more than anything. In 1985, the country was emerging from a twenty-one-year repressive military dictatorship which curtailed the freedoms of its citizens and forced political & cultural actors into exile, radically transforming its public space. From the south perspective, therefore, the ‘end of history’ and consequently the ‘end of the future’ was never at hand. There was both trust and distrust and a constant interplay between these two narratives.

My paper is concerned with the investigation of sonic-politico and aesthetic overlooked manifestations of singularity in Brazilian post-punk. It explores how ‘underground’ post-punk practice and ethics were instrumental in forging an experimentalist and yet popular independent and interdisciplinary DIY culture by examining a constellation of voices, inflections, collective activisms and forms of musicality as it investigates distinct processes of subjectivation in the construction of a tropical, poetic and political black-latino-caboclo semiotics.

These modes of inventing and/or experiencing ‘new futures’ as horizons of expectation, hope or destruction - in utopian or dystopian versions - played a crucial role in the process of shaping a Brazilian cannibalistic post-tropicalist existential dilemma; one that became a recurrent theme [and an affect] which haunts Brazil’s collective social, musical, political and aesthetic imaginary to this day.
