The Dispossessed has been described by political theorist Andr Gorz as The most striking description I know of the seductions--and snares--of self-managed communist or, in other words, anarchist society. However this claim, as well as the political, social, and cultural importance of the novel, remain woefully under-explored to this day. New Utopian Politics of Ursula K. Le Guins The Dispossessed, an edited collection of original essays on LeGuins The Dispossessed represents a thorough exploration of the political ramifications of this work by a wide interdisciplinary swath of scholars from...

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...

"The Autonomous Life?" is an ethnography of the squatters' movement in Amsterdam written by an anthropologist who lived and worked in a squatters' community for 3.5 years.

With this unique perspective, Kadir focuses on how people in this overtly anarchist movement constantly disavow while silently maintain hierarchy and authority. Specific squatter skills and particular performances of hostility are classified as squatter capital. Kadir...

Scholars have built theories to explain the existence and behavior of social movements-yet almost none of this work has focused on anarchist movements, which have unique qualities very different from other mainstream movements. Likewise, anarchists and other social...
