This collection of original essays examines the relationship
between anarchism and utopianism, exploring the intersections and
overlaps between these two fields of study and providing novel
perspectives for the analysis of both. The book opens with an
historical and philosophical survey of the subject matter and goes
on to examine antecedents of the anarchist literary utopia;
anti-capitalism and the anarchist utopian literary imagination;
free love as an expression of anarchist politics and utopian
desire; and revolutionary practice. Contributors explore the
creative interchange of anarchism and utopianism in both theory and
modern political practice; debunk some widely-held myths about the
inherent utopianism of anarchy; uncover the anarchistic influences
active in the history of utopian thought; and provide fresh
perspectives on contemporary academic and activist debates about
ecology, alternatives to capitalism, revolutionary theory and
practice, and the politics of art, gender and sexuality. Scholars
in both anarchist and utopian studies have for many years
acknowledged a relationship between these two areas, but this is
the first time that the historical and philosophical dimensions of
the relationship have been investigated as a primary focus for
research, and its political significance given full and detailed
consideration. -- .
