But questions remain: what happens when a break, an interruption, becomes a foundation, or is recuperated as a pop cultural norm? What is the significance of any such break within a steadfastly capitalist world – that is, breaks in a world that already feels so broken?

Fisher’s interest in these positions – and various others besides – has largely gone unnoticed by a subsequent generation of critics. ​Mattie Colquhoun (aka Xenogothic) is a writer, researcher and biographer of Mark Fisher.
