ecoanarchism

Anarchism fights against power, understood as subordination, domination and exploitation by certain social groups over others or over individuals. Ecologism (political ecology) fights against anthropocentric, productivist-consumerist power. Feminism fights against patriarchal phallocentric power. Where do these three forms of power meet? If they meet, can the fights against these forms of power also converge? Should they do it? What would they achieve? What would we achieve? The analytical method traditionally used to understand the links and antagonisms between different ideologies and their proposals for political systems is the political spectrum. How to build a political spectrum where anarchist, ecologist and feminist positions can be located? How to analyze their relations with each other and with other existing ideologies? Using Pesántez's “Triangle of Life” proposal and based on ideas and theories that support the intersections among ecologism, feminism and anarchism, a three-dimensional political spectrum is proposed based on the three components on which life and the continuity of the human species rely on: the ecological environment, the female-male dyad and the genetic diversity translated into human diversity. The corresponding dimensions on the spectrum are anthropocentric power, patriarchal power and socio-political power, respectively; on positive, the spectrum corresponds to the degree of freedom of nature, of women and of all people, recalling that, from an anarchist perspective, the freedom of a being or an element, human or non-human, depends on the freedom of all the other beings and elements. The approach is that ecologism, feminism and anarchism have a fundamental meeting point that is the criticism and the fight against the power that is exercised over other people or over nature, and they have the potential to meet in the construction of alternatives to that exercise of power to achieve integral equality, justice and ecological and human liberation: an ecocentric, gylanic (non-patriarchal) society with full individual autonomy.

Animal rights defenders, other zooradical groups often use separate statements of remarkable environmentalists in the ideological struggle against hunting. On example of the Edward Abbey’s writings, this article shows that a broader analysis of the heritage of such individuals is able to refute opinions about their anti-hunting beliefs.
Защитники прав животных, другие зоорадикальные группы нередко используют в идеологической борьбе против охоты отдельные высказывания деятелей природоохранного движения. Настоящее сообщение показывает, на примере творчества Эдварда Пола Эбби,  что более широкий анализ наследия таких деятелей способен опровергнуть мнения об их антиохотничьих убеждениях.

This modest study takes on the task of the radicalization of the Heidegger question of “the essence of technology,” as well a search for productive techno-utopias in the history of anarchism and in contemporary anarchism. The key questions are questions on the connections between technology and time, technology and utopias, and technology and anarchy. Dating to Aristotle’s Politics, the instrumental attitude toward technology is dominance as necrocosmological enthusiasm in which the master knows nothing about technology. Overcoming instrumentalism opens before us a perspective on the “unfulfilled” history of technology, which is on the other side of the opposition of the technological and the natural, the productive and the unconstrained. On the other side of the pharmacology of technology, a spacious area of conviviality is observed, a celebratory collaboration between what is alive and what is not.

Исследование ставит перед собой задачу радикализации хайдеггеровского вопроса о «сущности техники» и поиска продуктивных техноутопий в истории анархизма и в современном анархизме. Ключевыми являются вопросы о связи техники и времени, техники и утопии, техники и анархии. Восходя к «Политике» Аристотеля, инструментальное отношение к технике представляет собой господство как некрокосметологическое одушевление, в котором господин ничего не знает о технике. Преодоление инструментализма открывает перспективу «несбывшейся» истории техники, которая находится по ту сторону противопоставления технического и природного, производительного и непринужденного. По ту сторону фармакологии техники обнаруживается просторная область конвивиальности, праздного соратничества живого и неживого.

The recent phenomena of insurrection and citizen seizure of power tend to demonstrate a reorganization of the mechanisms ordinarily erected as the maintenance of societal equilibria.

Demonstrating a return of social, spatial and environmental injustice, of the monstrous inequalities between power of wealth and popular obedience producing new forms of “real democracy”. In fact, a resurgence to radical resistance movements inspired thoughts of the anarchism of Proudhon, Kropotkin and Bookchin reappear.

Through the resources of radical eco-anarchism, the pivot point in the post-modern aesthetics in which contemporary territorial aesthetics is taking shape, we will tackle today’s humanitarian management projects that try to produce accurate justice.

Rehab Scape depict several movements among Environmental Ethics, Resistance Aesthetics & Responsible Practice.

Part 1: ECO-ANARCHISM _ Radical political philosophy of landscape in the 21st century and anarchist resources: from Pierre-Joseph Proudhon and Murray Bookchin : [France].

Part 2 : SOUTHWESTERN NOIR _ An aesthetics of the XXth Ontological Fault : [USA].

Part 3 : HUMANITARIAN DESIGN_ Urban Equity and justice planning : [India/Oman].

This research intends to Identify the construction of Conflict and Consensus Building through major moments and (mal)practices and thus to grasp a certain time frame / duration within which the issues of the present struggles are relatively homogeneous. We will start from the resistances to the conditions of what is now called Anthropocene, namely the eco- anarchist resistance in Europe in the face of the Industrial Revolution of the 20th century.

It seems today that one of the great difficulties in grasping the movements of resistance in social, spatial, and environmental injustice is first to understand the value of the real issues that are capable of raising the populations. Therefore, it is important:

A_ISSUES: Firstly, to trace the aesthetics of resistance from the Eco-anarchism movement. In Europe, when the liberal management of our daily life started. The principles advanced by the environmental anarchism movement, are always powerful to identify the current problems.

B_IMPACT: Secondly, to visualize the environment fault of the 20th century through the Southwestern Movie genre which may, for instance, help to visualize some of the actions of men on their environment and explain the Paris Agreement and Climate change issues.

C_INVOLVMENT: Finally, to establish new rules of Humanitarian Design in order to be able to overcome the environmental resistances of eco-anarchism. With the Indian and Oman Case Studies, we will envisage the Applied Ethics required to translate the phenomenal resistance into Responsible Design.


Presented in the Aesthetics off Resistance lecture series held in Boan 1942 Gallery in Seoul the 30th September 2017.

TIn this study, the social ecology of Murray Bookchin has been examined. Participatory evolution has been explained in which Bookchin places society and nature together as a result of deducing the social nature of man from his biological nature. It has been suggested that participatory evolution emphasizes cooperation rather than competition in the development of species.
