Call for Papers
Is conflict a problem to solve, an awkward fact of life, or even a virtue to uphold? Are particular conflicts ‘good’ or ‘bad’? Is anarchism in conflict with itself? Does peace simply equate to an absence of conflict, or is it an ‘equilibrium’ of conflicting social forces? War, huh? What is it good for? ‘Absolutely nothin’!’ (Edwin Starr, 1970).

The Anarchist Studies Network, which brings together academics and researchers from all over the world, held its international conference on August 24th to 26th 2022. This year’s gathering featured 38 panels, workshops and plenaries on the subject of “Anarchist Futures”. ASN member Jim Donaghey offers some of his thoughts:

This roundtable explores the history, purpose and some of the insights and innovations in Anarchist Studies over the past fifteen years. It was recorded for submission to the Political Studies Association’s 2022 online conference, and features five longstanding members of the Anarchist Studies Network and the North American Anarchist Studies Network: Jesse Cohn, Kathy Ferguson, Ruth Kinna and Saul Newman. The discussion is chaired by Alex Prichard, co-convenor of the ASN from 2006. The roundtable will be published as a Critical Exchange in Contemporary Political Theory.
From Anarchist Studies Network
Often called idealists, dreamers, unrealistic, anarchists have a complex relationship to the future. We imagine it, theorise it, work for it. We try to bring it to the present. We draw blueprints of what it might be like. We nurture connections that reflect our hopes. We imagine new worlds, living in the future whilst changing the present. However, utopian thought can be considered both an incentive and a discouragement to action. Its complexity and relationship to the future is particularly meaningful for anarchists. After all, how can political thought be fully understood without projecting ourselves and collectively into the future? Anarchist utopias from the early News Of Nowhere (William Morris, 1890) to The Dispossessed (Ursula K Le Guin, 1974) and other recent fiction has underlined the role of imagining the future in order to build a better world.
