The Anarchist Roots of Geography sets the stage for a radical
politics of possibility and freedom through a discussion of the
insurrectionary geographies that suffuse our daily experiences. By
embracing anarchist geographies as kaleidoscopic spatialities that
allow for nonhierarchical connections between autonomous entities,
Simon Springer configures a new political imagination.
Experimentation in and through space is the story of humanity's
place on the planet, and the stasis and control that now supersede
ongoing organizing experiments are an affront to our survival.
Singular ontological modes that favor one particular way of doing
things disavow geography by failing to understand the spatial as a
mutable assemblage intimately bound to temporality. Even worse,
such stagnant ideas often align to the parochial interests of an
elite minority and thereby threaten to be our collective undoing.
What is needed is the development of new relationships with our
world and, crucially, with each other. By infusing our geographies
with anarchism we unleash a spirit of rebellion that foregoes a
politics of waiting for change to come at the behest of elected
leaders and instead engages new possibilities of mutual aid through
direct action now. We can no longer accept the decaying, archaic
geographies of hierarchy that chain us to statism, capitalism,
gender domination, racial oppression, and imperialism. We must
reorient geographical thinking towards anarchist horizons of
possibility. Geography must become beautiful, wherein the entirety
of its embrace is aligned to emancipation.
