PUNK—Dangerous Utopia (Bookfair Session)
This event is taking place as part of the Another Carolina Anarchist Bookfair, three days of workshops and tabling with queer music performances at night.
How did punk emerge out of the countercultures of the 1960s that it claimed to reject? Why did it play such a central role in the resurgence of anarchism around the world at the end of the 20th century? How did it prefigure the participatory media of the digital age? And what can its legacy teach today's anti-capitalist and anti-fascist movements?
In this talk based on text from Smash The System! Punk Anarchism as a Culture of Resistance, we'll revisit the relationship between Punk and Anarchism!
