Anarchism and Utopianism<\/p>\n
“This collection of original essays examines the relationship between
\nanarchism and utopianism, exploring the intersections and overlaps between
\nthese two fields of study and providing novel perspectives for the analysis
\nof both. The book opens with an historical and philosophical survey of the
\nsubject matter and goes on to examine antecedents of the anarchist literary
\nutopia; anti capitalism and the anarchist utopian literary imagination; free
\nlove as an expression of anarchist politics and utopian desire; and
\nrevolutionary practice. Contributors explore the creative interchange of
\nanarchism and utopianism in both theory and modern political practice;
\ndebunk some widely-held myths about the inherent utopianism of anarchy;
\nuncover the anarchistic influences active in the history of utopian thought;
\nand provide fresh perspectives on contemporary academic and activist debates
\nabout ecology, alternatives to capitalism, revolutionary theory and
\npractice, and the politics of art, gender and sexuality. Scholars in both
\nanarchist and utopian studies have for many years acknowledged a
\nrelationship between these two areas, but this is the first time that the
\nhistorical and philosophical dimensions of the relationship have been
\ninvestigated as a primary focus for research, and its political significance
\ngiven full and detailed consideration.<\/p>\n
