RAT aims to provide a scholarly space in which to both reexamine and reinvigorate the social and political tradition of anarchism. The conference is meant as one contribution to the project of developing a more rigorous and contemporary theoretical framework for anarchism, and to assist in nurturing new generations of anti-authoritarian public intellectuals. It brings together anarchist and libertarian left organizers, educators, activists, writers, lifelong learners, and others to explore how we make sense of our own politics; how we understand anarchism in the context of our lives, movements, and present-day social conditions; and how the conceptual tools that anarchism provides can and need to be rethought. As in the past, we hope that RAT will continue to raise difficult and provocative questions in a supportive, participatory environment among anarchist peers.
”REVOLUTION BACKWARDS: Stumbling towards a New Paradigm”
Anarchist Scholar,David Graeber,searches for a new Revolutionary Model
On Tuesday, October 10, at 7:30pm, the Libertarian Book Club's Anarchist Forum will present David Graeber, Yale Anthropology Professor. David of course has been in the news lately, as Yale loudly denies that his contract had not been renewed because he is an anarchist. So David has been out there being interviewed by Charlie Rose and getting his wikipedia entry. However, David will rather be speaking at the forum about the thoughts in his mind, as we shift into the 21st century, about what will be the new paradigm for changing a world that still needs a revolution.His research in Madagascar may make some contribution to what he has to say but like the rest of us he is looking at the world swinging around us and he has noted the various anarchist groups seeking new ways of living. So after David offers us his current vision of a new paradigm, he will be open to an extensive open discussion with the audience on their thoughts on this developing vision.
