“The first 'Red Dawn' was made at a time when Hollywood didn't stint in its use of Russian stereotypes. Cold war capitalist ideology construed the Soviets as different for two reasons - not only did they belong to another political-economic system, they didn't seem to possess the same emotions that 'we' do.”

English writer and critic

Mark Fisher was an English writer, music critic, political and cultural theorist, philosopher, Marxist, and teacher. He worked in the Department of Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths, University of London, and first came to wider attention through his early-2000s blog posts as k-punk. He was known for writing about radical politics, music, and popular culture. His work moved between criticism and theory, combining cultural analysis with political ideas and a close interest in the media and music scenes of his time.
