SUMMARY:[Historikertag 2021] Global Histories of Anarchism: Communal Life, Concepts, and Education Between Asia, Europe and Russia in the 19th and 20th Century
DESCRIPTION:Anarchism has been and still is a global phenomenon. Libertarian ideas have been a driving force—both theoretically and in action—for the imaginary and actual building of a better society. They conceptualize people living together in peace and individual freedom, working cooperatively, and being bound together not by coercion, but by commitment and mutually shared interest. Anarchists and other radical thinkers and activists significantly enriched theoretical debates on the human condition, agency and social organization, and they actively created communal and educational projects all around the world. Particularly prominent since the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, these projects included, among many others, the Paris Commune, syndicalist federations, Tolstoian communes as well as the kibbutzim movement. Yet, until today, the rich history of anarchism is too often overlooked, limited to Eurocentric perspectives, or simply portrayed as a history of violence, naïve idealism, and/or failure.
This panel, on the contrary, demonstrates that anarchism developed highly sophisticated thought and successful lived experience, which have always transgressed regional, national and imperial boundaries. The multiregional panel Global Histories of Anarchism brings narratives on late nineteenth and twentieth-century anarchism from different world regions and historical periods into conversation. Its papers will cover a variety of actors, communities and networks in and between Asia, Africa and Europe, Israel/Palestine, Russia and the United States. They will discuss how anarchist and other radical circles conceptualized, overcame and struggled with (state) power, authority and hierarchy. Analyzing anarchism from a global history perspective thus enables us to approach the interplay of diversity, difference, and similarity in the modern world, and at the same time make visible manifold forms of trans-local, trans-imperial, and indeed world-spanning connections.
