New 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Hard Cover First Edition Signed by Author One of a strictly limited hardback edition of 500 copies only, all personally signed by Jake Chapman. Meatphysics is the first book by Jake Chapman of the chapman brothers. A comparative journal for the brothers' aesthetic work, Meatphysics represents a schizo-analytical assault upon the hyperconscious idiocy of libertarian humanism. An attempt to dislodge critique from its authoritarian edifice by shortcircuiting the compulsion to dialectical reasoning. Instead, Meatphysics encounters its subject deliriously spiralling in and out of phase, merging fiction and theory, and combining a file-corrupting literature-machine that contracts and expands without final cause. Vagrantly purposeless while attempting to exceed the limits of strict utility, Meatphysics proposes a pessimistic model of apathetic repetition - 'a disease within the disease'; an atheological experiment conducted by the death drive, following the pathic route mapped by Freud in his declaration that 'the aim of all life is death'. 'Human apperception is matter-energy tortured - a dyspeptic ulcer cradling the necrotic substance of its irritation. Once the necrosis subsides, irritation deranges away toward zero, signalling perditious brain activity to cease. Amen'. Cover design: Dinos Chapman.
