Call for Papers and Panels<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fight against domination and destruction continues under heavy clouds. A global wave of resistance has once again been met with reaction, as elites turn to barefaced nationalism, racism and misogyny.
\nFor the world’s majority, such oppression is neither surprising nor new, given the enduring legacy of colonialism and by-now-established forms of neo-colonial exploitation. Meanwhile, hegemonic discourses show a frustrating capacity to co-opt and neutralise: converting
\nanti-capitalism into welfare-populism, ecological resistance into green consumption, and militant intersectionality into liberal identity politics. Anarchist literature and organising are not automatically immune to these problems; posing ideas and practices that are radically
\nfree from domination requires critical reflection on assumptions and truths, including one?s own. Despite challenges, anarchists have sustained and grown multiple sites of resistance as well as constructive projects, while boldly spearheading the confrontation with the far
\nright. Confident that the tide will turn again, the flame remains kindled.<\/p>\n

In these uncertain times, the elaboration of anarchist analysis bridging theory and practice, scholarly rigour and the insights of social movements, is as necessary as ever.
\nThe 5th International Conference of the Anarchist Studies Network will be held at Loughborough University between 12-14 of September 2018.
\nProposals are welcome for individual papers, as well as for panels drawing together 3-4 papers around a common theme.
\nPlease send abstracts of up to 250 words per paper to the address:
\nasn.conference.5@mail.com
\nDeadline for abstracts: 28 February 2018
\nASN conferences aim to breach new frontiers in anarchist scholarship, and encourage cross-pollination between disciplines. Contributions are invited from within and outside the official academic sphere, from any
\nscholarly discipline(s), and on any topic relevant to the study and practice of anarchism as a vital approach to social transformation.
\nThe central theme for this conference is DECOLONISATION, which we hope will inspire many of the presentations and panels. The purpose is twofold: to stimulate discussion of colonialism and racism as forms of oppression that anarchists oppose, but which continue to be felt in anarchist organising; and to welcome individuals, groups and communities who have not previously participated in ASN events. By recognising the legacy of non-western and anti-colonial thought and action in theanarchist tradition, we want to strengthen the ties between contemporary
\nanarchists and decolonial theory and practice in the struggle against oppression, and to use the recognition of racist and Eurocentric practices and mind-frames to open up the event to marginalised groups.
\nWe therefore particularly encourage submissions from the global south and from people of colour, as well as from women, trans and non-binary people, and people with disabilities. We strongly encourage panel
\norganizers to overcome exclusion. For the central theme, we welcome presentations that are concerned with topics such as the following:<\/p>\n

Anarchist engagements with decolonial and race theory
\nAnarchist geographies of decolonisation
\nAnarchist movements in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Pacific, etc.
\nAnarchist resonances of non-western philosophies, religions and traditions
\nAnti-nationalism and anti-fascism
\nDecolonial critiques of anarchism
\nDecolonial critiques of the state
\nHistories of anarchist resistance to colonialism
\nIntersections between race\/colonisation and age, class, dis\/ability,
\ngender, sexuality, etc.
\nNon-western anarcha-feminism, green anarchism, individualism, etc.
\nNon-western and western modes of (anti-)representation and the movement between them
\nIn addition, proposals are welcome on ANY TOPIC related to the study andpractice of anarchism.<\/p>\n

As well as submissions that bridge the gap between ?academic? and other forms of knowledge, we also welcome proposals for workshops, art events\/performances and experimental pieces, and are happy to discuss
\nany ideas that you might have.
\nWe welcome proposals for papers and panels in other languages, but please send an abstract in English as well. Translation will be self-organised during the conference on an ad-hoc, volunteer basis.
\nLoughborough University facilities are fully wheelchair accessible and induction loops are available. We are hoping to have some travel bursaries available for low- or unwaged participants, especially from the global south, as well as co-organised childcare arrangements.
\nAlthough we cannot guarantee either of these at the present stage, please do get in touch with any specific access needs and we will do our best to meet them: asn.conference.5@mail.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
