Ghosts in the Machine : the Hauntology of Graffiti and Rave culture 1990 - 2010
by Christopher Stead & Nema
Ghosts in the Machine documents graffiti and rave subculture in the wake of a post-Thatcher Britain, as a disenfranchised youth finds social cohesion and identity through the act of graffiti. Meanwhile, rave's rhetoric of social inclusion resisted the binaries of boredom, race, class and gender, making it one of its generation's most significant youth movements. Written through the eyes of two participant observers, Christopher Stead and Nema, as well as a foreword by the artist and activist Jonny Banger, the book contains imperfect histories, lucid anecdotes, and subcultural polemics to accompany archival photos that capture the spirit of intervention amid the oppressive political climates of the '90s and '00s questioning if the mass acceleration of communication has led to a freezing of time, leaving both seemingly stuck in a state of hauntological retrospection.
