This is a broad ranging introduction to twenty-first-century
anarchism which includes a wide array of theoretical approaches as
well as a variety of empirical and geographical perspectives. The
book demonstrates how the anarchist imagination has influenced the
humanities and social sciences including anthropology, art,
feminism, geography, international relations, political science,
postcolonialism, and sociology. Drawing on a long historical
narrative that encompasses the 'waves' of anarchist movements from
the classical anarchists (1840s to 1940s), post-war wave of
student, counter-cultural and workers' control anarchism of the
1960s and 1970s to the DIY politics and Temporary Autonomous Zones
of the 1990s right up to the Occupy! Movement and beyond, the aim
of this volume is to cover the humanities and the social sciences
in an era of anarchist revival in academia. Anarchist philosophy
and anarchistic methodologies have re-emerged in a range of
disciplines from Organization Studies, to Law, to Political Economy
to Political Theory and International Relations, and Anthropology
to Cultural Studies. Anarchist approaches to freedom, democracy,
ethics, violence, authority, punishment, homelessness, and the
arbitration of justice have spawned a broad array of academic
publications and research projects. But this volume remembers an
older story, in other words, the continuous role of the anarchist
imagination as muse, provocateur, goading adversary, and catalyst
in the stimulation of research and creative activity in the
humanities and social sciences from the middle of the nineteenth
century to today. This work will be essential reading for scholars
and students of anarchism, the humanities, and the social sciences.
