About this book

Authoritarianism operates on a visceral level rather than relying on arguments. How can we counter authoritarian affects? This publication brings together more than 50 first-hand accounts of anti-authoritarian movements, activists, artists, and scholars from around the world, focusing on the sensuous and emotional dimension of their strategies. From the collective art and aesthetics of feminist movements in India, Iran, Mexico, and Poland, to sewing collectives, subversive internet art in Hong Kong, and even anti-authoritarian board games, the contributions open new perspectives on moments of resistance, subversion, and creation. Indeed, the handbook itself is a work of anti-authoritarian art.

The editors behind the »International Research Group on Authoritarianism and Counter-Strategies« and »kollektiv orangotango« are: Aurel Eschmann, Börries Nehe, Nico Baumgarten, Paul Schweizer, Severin Halder, Ailynn Torres Santana, Inés Duràn Matute, and Julieta Mira.

Reviews

»Dieser Sammelband über linken politischen Aktivismus ist absolut beeindruckend! Er bietet nicht nur tiefgehende Einblicke in die Bewegungen und Akteure, sondern ist auch visuell ein echtes Highlight. Die Bilder sind atemberaubend und vermitteln die Energie und Leidenschaft der Aktivisten aus dem globalen Süden. Ein Muss für alle, die sich für sozialen Wandel und Gerechtigkeit interessieren. Dieses Buch ist inspirierend und informativ zugleich – absolut empfehlenswert!«
