Abstract

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 1 The discussion is based on a transcript of the recording Quarantined Market Podcast (episode 8) that has been edited for publishing in textual form. The podcast episode can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/qmp-790368337/qmp8-dystopia-with-james-fitchett. Essays based on this and other podcasts in the series also appear in The Dictionary of Coronavirus Culture published by Repeater. 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——采访詹姆斯·菲切特

我们邀请莱斯特大学的James Fitchett教授就新冠肺炎大流行的历史时刻的反乌托邦思想和反乌托邦倾向进行采访。11本次讨论基于《隔离市场播客》(第8集)的录音文本，经过编辑后以文本形式发布。播客可以在这里找到:https://soundcloud.com/qmp-790368337/qmp8-dystopia-with-james-fitchett。基于本系列和其他播客的文章也出现在Repeater出版的《冠状病毒文化词典》中。凭借其细致入微的精神分析理论背景，以及对通过意识形态、悖论、幻想、模拟、自恋和施虐等批判性地理解市场现象的浓厚兴趣，詹姆斯提供了一个全面的、有时令人惊讶的描述，说明乌托邦是如何既自私又平淡无奇的，以及反乌托邦是如何在消费中具有巨大的吸引力和强烈的欲望的。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
