Newly translates and annotates 13 papers from the 1984 international anarchist gathering in VeniceIntroduces the meeting and these papers in their political and historical context, allowing new readers to engage with them for the first timeFeatures a wealth of vibrant photographs and visual materials, providing a glimpse into the striking richness and creativity of anarchist aesthetics at the timeConsiders the journal Volont in relation to emergent forms of autonomous Marxism, the 'new' anarchism and poststructuralismEssential reading for historians of anarchism and for all those who theorise for a radically better worldIn 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 a series of 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. Remarkably far-ranging in their points of reference, these interventions are truly interdisciplinary, seeking to reinvigorate the intellectual heart of the anarchist ideal. Together, they form a treasure trove of anti-authoritarian thinking on issues as diverse as authority, the state, utopia, freedom, patriarchy and how we might envisage an anarchist approach to economics. In our era of ecological catastrophe and resurgent fascism, it is more vital than ever that activists and academics see the importance of thinking as anarchists.

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of anarchism – an international gathering held in Venice, Italy in 1984 – that gave birth to a critical (hitherto unpublished) anthology compiled by activists associated with the Italian journal Volontà.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.
