[ENGLISH VERSION]

Anarchist and Left-Libertarian Perspectives on the Geographies of Peace

Anarchists and other Left-Libertarians; Geographers and Non-Geographers alike. La Paz. 2017. 

Since the 1833 publication of The Peaceful Revolutionist, a weekly paper edited by Josiah Warren and the first anarchist periodical ever produced, left-libertarianism has embraced the idea of non-violence. In this session we want to welcome the opportunity for participants to think through how the concept of ‘peace’ has been insufficiently discussed and yet necessarily underlies anarchist practices and left-libertarian debates. Potential themes include: the promise of new internationalism(s) and free federation(s); the potentialities and limits of transnational activism in terms of overcoming injustice worldwide; the plurality of traditions and the multiplicity of left-libertarian contributions to the analysis of social conflicts; the permanence of certain prejudices, such as the stigma and caricature of anarchists as 'people intrinsically fond of violence’; the potentialities and limits of non-violence as a political strategy; the possibilities of constructive struggle for freedom and justice in the context of capitalism’s ‘structural violence’; and the prefiguration of peaceful alternatives to policing and punishment. 

Within the framework of heteronomous capitalist societies, and particularly for (semi)peripheral countries − ‘peace’ cannot be fully realized. A left-libertarian perspective demands that capitalism be seen as a form of structural violence, which limits the space, time, and coherence of peace. Under the integral systems of capitalism and statism, so-called ‘peace’ can only be achieved through oppression and repression, which is inevitably challenged by the eventual eruption of protest and resistance. The achievement of this kind of ‘peace’ is consequently mere illusion, while protest and resistance, often maligned as ‘violence’, can instead be understood as responses to the pervasive social pathologies of capitalism and the state and the forms of violence they engender. 

Peace possesses an intrinsic value for anarchists and left-libertarians, both ethically and aesthetically. A commitment to meaningful and lasting peace is necessarily the true antipode of fascism, an ideology rooted in notions of military ‘glory’ and the worship of brute force. A bourgeois liberalism and its formal and superficial ‘rule of law’ is not enough to contest these catastrophic impulses, while anarchism and left-libertarian streams provide an answer in the form of rejecting state sovereignty and the very notion of a ‘monopoly of violence’. And so in the face of profound violence, on the libertarian-left we ask, under which circumstances can peace be achieved in an apt and durable way? How can anarchist geographies help us understand the logic of social struggle and the possibilities of peace at various scales? To what extent have left-libertarian traditions added to our understanding of these challenges, and how can anarchism and left-libertarian perspectives more generally contribute to a peaceful future?

Please send abstracts to both proponents by December 15, 2015.

[VERSIÓN CASTELLANA]

Perspectivas Anarquistas y Libertarias sobre las Geografías de la Paz

Anarquistas y otros libertarios; geógrafos pero también no-geógrafos. La Paz. 2017. 

Desde la publicación en 1833 de El revolucionario pacifico, un periódico semanal editado por Josiah Warren y el primer periódico anarquista jamás producido, el pensamiento libertario ha abrazado la idea de la no-violencia. En esta sesión queremos dar la bienvenida a la oportunidad para que los participantes piensen a través de cómo el concepto de “paz” ha sido insuficientemente discutido y sin embargo, como este concepto necesariamente subyace a las prácticas y los debates anarquistas y libertarios. Temas potenciales incluyen por ejemplo: la promesa del nuevo internacionalismo (o de los nuevos internacionalismos) y de la(s) federación(s) libre(s); las potencialidades y los límites del activismo transnacional en términos de superación de la injusticia en todo el mundo; la pluralidad de las tradiciones y la multiplicidad de las contribuciones libertarias para el análisis de los conflictos sociales; la permanencia de ciertos prejuicios, como el estigma y la caricatura de los anarquistas como “gente intrínsecamente adoradora de la violencia”; las potencialidades y los límites de la no-violencia como estrategia política; las posibilidades de lucha constructiva por la libertad y la justicia en el contexto de la “violencia estructural” del capitalismo; y la prefiguración de alternativas pacíficas para la vigilancia y el castigo.

En el marco de las sociedades capitalistas heterónomas − y en particular para los países (semi)periféricos −, la “paz” no puede ser plenamente efectiva. Una perspectiva libertaria exige que el capitalismo sea visto como una forma de violencia estructural, lo que limita el espacio, el tiempo y la coherencia de la paz. En virtud de los sistemas integrales del capitalismo y el estatismo, la llamada “paz” solo puede lograrse a través de la opresión y la represión, que son periódicamente (e inevitablemente) cuestionadas por la eventual erupción de formas de protesta y resistencia. El logro de este tipo de “paz” es, en consecuencia, mera ilusión, mientras que la protesta y la resistencia, a menudo difamadas como “violencia”, en lugar pueden entenderse como respuestas a las patologías sociales generalizados del capitalismo y del Estado y a las formas de violencia que engendran.

La paz posee un valor intrínseco para los anarquistas y libertarios en general, tanto ética y estéticamente. Un compromiso con una paz significativa y duradera es necesariamente el verdadero antípoda del fascismo, una ideología arraigada en la noción de "gloria" militar y en el culto de la fuerza bruta. El liberalismo burgués y su formal y superficial “estado de derecho” no es suficiente para impugnar estos impulsos catastróficos, mientras que las corrientes anarquistas y libertarias en general proporcionan una respuesta en forma de rechazo de la soberanía estatal y la misma noción de un “monopolio de la violencia”. Y así, en la cara profunda de la violencia, nosotros desde la izquierda libertaria preguntamos: ¿en qué circunstancias se puede lograr la paz de una manera efectiva y duradera? ¿Cómo pueden las geografías anarquistas ayudarnos a entender la lógica de la lucha social y las posibilidades de paz en varias escalas? ¿En qué medida han contribuido las tradiciones libertarias para el nuestro entendimiento de estos desafíos, y cómo pueden el anarquismo y las perspectivas libertarias en general contribuir a un futuro de paz?


Por favor enviar los resúmenes a los dos defensores antes de 3 de diciembre de 2015.
