Day, Richard J. F.
Abstract
The new possibilities for the construction of radical alternatives within and against postmodern globalizing capitalism, based on a critique of the (post) Marxist theory of hegemony and examples from contemporary activism, are assessed. An alternative genealogy based on anarchist theory and practice, with a focus on the tradition of ‘structural renewal’ that finds it apogee in the work of Gustav Landauer, is constructed to fully comprehend the current developments.
