Kristin Ross's new work on the thought and culture of the Communard
uprising of 1871 resonates with the motivations and actions of
contemporary protest, which has found its most powerful expression
in the reclamation of public space. Today's
concerns-internationalism, education, the future of labor, the
status of art, and ecological theory and practice-frame and inform
her carefully researched restaging of the words and actions of
individual Communards. This original analysis of an event and its
centrifugal effects brings to life the workers in Paris who became
revolutionaries, the significance they attributed to their
struggle, and the elaboration and continuation of their thought in
the encounters that transpired between the insurrection's survivors
and supporters like Marx, Kropotkin, and William Morris. The Paris
Commune was a laboratory of political invention, important simply
and above all for, as Marx reminds us, its own 'working existence.'
Communal Luxury allows readers to revisit the intricate workings of
an extraordinary experiment.
