Description
Raving by McKenzie Wark explores the underground queer and trans rave scene in New York, where techno music offers fresh sonic possibilities. This art form is not just about the beat, but also about the technique of letting it seduce you. In this book, Wark extends the sensations of raving onto the page, creating a timely aesthetic for dancing in a world that seems to be falling apart. The author draws on his experience of the rave scene to create a unique perspective on this art form and its connection to queer and trans culture. By combining elements of the rave scene with a sense of urgency and decay, Wark creates a powerful exploration of identity, community, and resistance. Through his writing, Wark invites readers to join him in exploring the possibilities of raving as a way of life. With its unique blend of music, art, and politics, this book is a fascinating look at a vibrant and often overlooked world.
