Social & political philosophy; Anarchism

In the symbolic year of 1984, thousands of anarchists from all over the world gathered in Venice to explore the future of their shared ideal. This collection brings together 13 influential papers from that moment, centred around the Italian anarchist journal Volont and the international circle connected to it. Initially published from the early 1980s to the late 1990s, most of these papers have never appeared in English before.

Reviews for Thinking as Anarchists: Selected Writings from Volonta

Gustav Landauer implored anarchists to resist translation and learn how to 'think and feel' unfamiliar languages. Gioli and Kallin do just that. Their beautiful, illuminating and inspiring collection turns an obscured history into a future-gazing meditation on domination and libertarian intervention, teaching us how to think 'about' and 'for' anarchism and collapse that distinction. --Ruth Kinna, Loughborough University This book marks a pivotal moment in the history of anarchism - an international gathering held in Venice, Italy in 1984 - that gave birth to a critical (hitherto unpublished) anthology compiled by activists associated with the Italian journal Volontà. Charting new avenues for anarchy's realization, the anthology addresses prescient issues such as liberatory power, patriarchy, ecological transformation, state repression, and 'utopian' economics. Giovanna Gioli and Hamish Kallin have combined the original anthology with additional articles from A/Rivista Anarchica and other sources, culminating with a retrospective history of Volontà. Interweaving history, theory, and practice, Thinking as Anarchists is an extraordinary achievement. -- ""Allan Antliff, Director of the University of Victoria's Anarchist Archive""
