Description

The logic of the state has come to define social and spatial relations, embedding itself into our understandings of the world and our place in it. Anthony Ince and Geronimo Barrera de la Torre challenge this logic as the central pivot around which knowledge and life orbit, by exposing its vulnerabilities, contradictions and, crucially, alternatives. Society Despite the State disrupts the dominance of state-centric modes of thinking by presenting a radical political geography framework inspired by anarchist thought and practice. The book also draws on a broad range of voices that hold affinities with Western anarchism but also exceed it. The book challenges radical scholars to confront and understand the state through a gaze and set of intellectual tools that the authors have termed 'post-statism'. In de-centring the state's operational logics and rationalities, the authors incorporate a variety of threads to build a picture of an alternative way of understanding and challenging statism's effects on our spatial and political imaginations.

Author Biography:

Anthony Ince is Senior Lecturer in Human Geography at Cardiff University. He has been active within radical movements for more than a decade. He primarily studies issues around human agency, and the capacity of people in different contexts to collectively self-manage the affairs of life. GerĂ³nimo Barrera de la Torre holds a PhD in Latin American Studies from the University of Texas at Austin and is a postdoctoral research associate at Brown University. His research focuses on the political ecology of forest conservation, historical geography, post-statist geographies and participatory cartography.
