"Emergence as Convergence:
Anarchism and the Movement to Critique Globalization"

by Cindy Milstein (Institute for Anarchist Studies)

Wednesday, June 6, 7pm

at Lucy Parsons Center
549 Columbus Ave.
Boston, MA
(617) 267-6272

Anarchism has been a crucial catalyst for what has become a global movement 
today, potentially offering an alternative to the hegemony of 
representative democracy and Western capitalism. While it seemed to appear 
out of nowhere with Seattle, anarchism's praxis can be seen as the 
convergence of three contemporary antiauthoritarian tendencies.

This convergence, in turn, allowed for an anarchism that is more than the 
sum of its parts. How exactly has today's anarchism helped shape and define 
this new movement? What strengths has it brought, and will it continue to 
offer, in this struggle for a free society? And what are anarchism's own 
limitations as a political praxis?

This talk will explore anarchism's recent history, its distinctive 
contribution to this unique movement, some potential internal problems 
within anarchist praxis itself, and how anarchism might move this movement 
forward.
