CONTROL: Call for Perspectives’ Submissions: 2025-2026
From The Institute for Anarchist Studies
We’re back! After a hiatus that allowed us to put together an anthology of essays for AK Press showcasing the first thirty years of our work (due out July, ’26!), Perspectives on Anarchist Theory is once again open for submissions!
The Anarchism of the Encounter: A Distillation
From Libertarian Labyrinth by Shawn P. Wilbur
Introduction: Distilling Anarchism
Some of the work I have done on anarchist history and theory has taken the form of synthesis, attempting to draw together elements from a variety of anarchist tendencies and milieus, or of a kind of reconciliation, as in the case of the “neo-Proudhonian synthesis,” based on the idea that the apparent discontinuities in anarchist ideas have been, in fact, more apparent than real.
Anarchism and Revolutionary Defeatism
From History is What's Happening by K. C. Sinclair
What is “revolutionary defeatism,” where does it come from, and what is its current relevance for anarchists and other social rebels? As a slogan and stance, revolutionary defeatism was devised by the Russian statist socialist Vladimir Lenin and, to a lesser extent, the Ukrainian statist socialist Grigory Zinoviev, in the context of the First World War.

PERSPECTIVES ON ANARCHIST THEORY Call for Submissions // Summer 2023
From The Institute for Anarchist Studies
We are interested in critical essays, book reviews, creative pieces (including fiction and poetry), as well as visual art and comics. Our annual print issue will follow a year of online publishing and will appear early in 2024. Rather than putting out a call around a specific theme, we instead invite open submissions on any topic you feel is important, but with a desire for focus in particular areas.

Rhizomes and Revolution: D&G's Impact on US Anarchism
From Empty Hands History
Full title: Rhizomes and Revolution: Deleuze & Guattari’s Impact on US Anarchism
I so badly want to write an article on Deleuze & Guattari’s influence on the US anarchist movement in the 1980s-90s. One path is obvious–Hakim Bey’s use of their idea of the Nomadic War Machine in his popular concept of Temporary Autonomous Zones. But there is more.
TOTW: False Consciousness
This question of people unknowingly or uncomprehendingly acting against their own best interests is one that I think holds special significance to anarchists.
