Is it possible for anarchism to think with the new ontologies and
new materialisms, and is it possible to build a deeper anarchist
philosophy which does not reduce the world to what it is for human
animals within that world? Is it possible to think the question of
a non-essentialist ontology? (Duane Rousselle and Jason Adams,
"Anarchism's Other Scene") Radical theory has always been beset by
the question of ontology, albeit to varying degrees and under
differing conditions. In recent years, in particular, political
metaphysics has returned with force: the rise of Deleuze-influenced
"new materialisms," along with post-/non-Deleuzian Speculative
Realism (SR) and Object-Oriented Ontology (OOO), all bear testament
to this. In this same period, anarchism has returned as a major
influence on social movements and critical scholarship alike. What,
then, are some of the potential resonances between these currents,
particularly given that anarchism has so often been
understood/misunderstood as a fundamentally idealist philosophy?
This special issue of ADCS, "Ontological Anarche: Beyond
Materialism and Idealism," considers these questions in dialogue
with the new materialisms, Speculative Realism, and Object-Oriented
Ontology, in order to seek new points of departure. Ontological
Anarche: Beyond Materialism and Idealism includes: EDITORS'

interviews Levi Bryant. Anarchist Developments in Cultural Studies
(ADCS), edited by Duane Rousselle and Sureyyya Evren, is an
international, open-access journal devoted to the study of new and
emerging perspectives in anarchist thought and practice from or
through a cultural studies perspective. The interdisciplinary focus
of the journal presumes an analysis of a broad range of cultural
phenomena, the development of diverse methodological traditions, as
well as the investigation of both macro-structural issues and the
micrological practices of "everyday life." ADCS is an attempt to
bring anarchist thought into contact with innumerable points of
connection.
