The music, mostly, is techno, certain flavours of which became the soundtrack to a dancefloor culture that is queer in a different way to house music-centred gay nightlife. Wark, Mak, and Beery want to document, annotate, celebrate, and also critique, this world in the making. \u003cem\u003eWriting on Raving\u003c\/em\u003e centres the New York scene but isn't limited to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a book for all of those who need the rave. Who need to dance. Who have at some point needed that beat in their lives. This is a book for all those who have journeyed through the night, through sound, through movement, through chemistry, into other places, other times, other encounters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis seeking gives us hours, years, on the dance floor to think about why we rave, to locate these reasons in our bodies and the space around us. But the rave is not the place to articulate them. It is too loud; our friends are too distracted, or too high. At the afters, tired and drained and covered in schmutz, we think some more. We look around at our raver friends and wonder: How did we get here? What happened to us? What is this tentacular, thrashing, swelling thing that we all made together? That thing that is now slumped and aching and coming down now into our fragmentary, singular lives?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBetween all of us, there are many answers to such questions. Wark, Mak, and Beery have gathered their favourite ones to share in this first-ever anthology of writing on raving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWriting on Raving\u003c\/em\u003e is a night of readings and performances about nightlife, dancing, and techno, about why we love these things, but also how that love is complicated. It brings together a diverse range of writers whose dispatches from dance floors, bedrooms, and their own histories hold a mirror to a community whose cultural preservation is still emergent. The series was founded in 2021 by Geoffrey Mak, Zoe Beery, and McKenzie Wark and has included events in Brooklyn, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47384218665196,"sku":"9781682196281","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/25751873482786.jpg?v=1773403792"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/zoe-beery.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
