This article investigates late-stage Capitalism and the effects its increasing acceleration has had on artistic expression. I will analyse dance as an important moving force against oppressive political doctrine and explore how it might be one of the remaining 'true' forms of artistic expression; an alternate manifestation of language, as well as a standing form of resistance to Capitalism. I will explore how the Rave Culture in the UK (198 8 - 92) was a realisation of this force. I want to extrapolate the increasingly fast-paced nature of Neo-Liberalism and its relationship with dance and examine how dance has become a reflection of the anxiety of a world moving incredibly quickly in all directions, to nowhere. I will examine activity in the arts over the past decades and propose how we could reclaim our freedom of expression in a post-capitalist vision.

Emotions are central to the human experience and reflect our existence as sentient beings. Not only do emotions inform our reasoning and guide others to understand us; they now guide Emotional AI systems to decipher how we feel. The term Emotional AI is borrowed from Professor Andrew McStay and refers to technologies capable of ‘interpret[ing] feelings, emotions, moods, attention and intention in private and public places’ (McStay, 2018, 1). This paper assesses the existing, albeit premature, implementations of the technology and the interwoven impacts on society.

Self-care, a word formed of two compounds: self, a reflexive pronoun meaning ‘auto’ and conveying a notion of identity (Foucault, 1988, p. 25); and care, a noun signifying “the process of protecting someone or something and providing what that person or thing needs” (Care, n.d). Therefore, self-care is the practice of providing for oneself what oneself needs, but what do we need?

Setting out the perspective that society is currently in a period of crisis, one where capitalism presents a real risk of ‘cancelling the future’, this essay explores examples of creative, political and economic movements that have attempted to challenge the enduring grip of capitalism, and present the opportunity for a radical alternative approach for the future.
