Culture has always occupied a central place in anarchists’ strategies of resistance and revolt. However, much of the history of anarchist cultural creativity remains poorly studied – obscured not only by political prejudices but by disciplinary boundaries and methodological blindnesses.

This panel invites exploration of anarchist culture (e.g., literature, film, and drama, but also sexuality and body culture, festival and song, etc.), especially dimensions of it resistant to customary analytical models and modes of research. Transnational and interdisciplinary approaches would be particularly welcome.
