- Description
- In popular conversation, any reference to anarchy or anarchism will provoke stereotyped images of malevolent individuals consumed with misanthropic disgust and terroristic intent into being. Typically, these anarchists bring with them violent intentions, either concealed about their person (the bomb-sewn jacket of ‘the Professor’ in Conrad’s Secret Agent perhaps), or as its visible messenger: their nihilistic hands bearing Molotov cocktails, ready to set aflame the night sky. Propaganda by deed, perhaps (see Fleming, 1980)? It is far less likely, that any mention of anarchy, anarchism or an anarchist will immediately spark connections with (i) established body/ies of highly respected academic research, and (ii) geographical research. What image, we wonder, might be unleashed if a researcher walked down the high street, clipboard in hand, and invited passers- by to describe to them what an anarchist geographer looks like?
