Anarchist Critique of Radical Democracy: The Impossible Argument

Anarchist Critique of Radical Democracy: The Impossible Argument By Markus Lundström
English | PDF,EPUB | 2018 | 108 Pages | ISBN : 3319769766 | 2.14 MB

This book addresses the conflictual nature of radical democracy. By analyzing democratic conflict in Husby, a marginalized Stockholm city district, it exposes democracy’s core division – between governors and governed – as theorized by Jacques Rancière. Tracing the genealogy of that critique, the book interrogates a historical tradition generically adverse to every form of governance, namely anarchism. By outlining the divergent and discontinuous relationship between democracy and anarchy – within the history of anarchist thought – the author adds to democratic theory ‘The Impossible Argument’: a compound anarchist critique of radical democracy.
