Resumo

In the past decade or so, a sizable literature on anarchism has appeared. It has often been attached to the newer movements associated with alternative globalization and with post-modern theoretical currents. This literature is of significant interest for those working within the areas of social and political theory, globalization studies, and social movements. This article critically surveys the literature. It starts by examining the devices used to make the case for a renewed interest in anarchism, and traces the broad lines of historical anarchism. It then moves to explore the affinities between anarchism and the alternative globalization movement, and, at greater length, those between anarchism and contemporary theoretical issues. Critical of some of the post-modern excesses in this literature, and of the too sharp divide between Marxism and anarchism, this reconfigured anarchism is of great relevance. The article closes with some modest suggestions for further exploration in this work.
