Do Anarquismo ao Pós-Anarquismo, de Saul Newman, fornece leituras propositivas de debates clássicos da crítica anarquista ao estatismo, autoridade e suas éticas políticas, traçando o um percurso pelas crises das "metanarrativas", a crítica ao modelo figurativo e representativo, o deslocamento do sujeito e as mudanças de paradigma entre "anarquismo" e "anarquia".
O trabalho de Newman apresenta apontamentos teóricos baseados em um pensamento político autônomo, propondo uma agitação do imaginário radical por meio de críticas incisivas e reflexões que se embasam nas proposições de Michael Hardt, Antonio Negri, Alain Badiou, Jacques Rancière e Giorgio Agamben.
"... a revolução deve ser libertária tanto em seus meios quanto em seus fins, e [...] se os meios forem sacrificados ou simplesmente feitos para servirem aos fins, os próprios fins serão sacrificados"
Newman coined the term "post-anarchism" as a general term for political philosophies filtering 19th century anarchism through a post-structuralist lens, and later popularized it through his 2001 book From Bakunin to Lacan. Thus he rejects a number of concepts traditionally associated with anarchism, including essentialism, a "positive" human nature, and the concept of revolution. The links between poststructuralism and anarchism have also been developed by thinkers like Todd May and Lewis Call. Newman is currently Reader in Political Theory at Goldsmiths College, University of London. He received his B.A. from the University of Sydney, and his Ph.D in political science from the University of New South Wales. His work has been translated into Turkish, Spanish, Italian, German, Portuguese and Serbo-Croatian, and has been the subject of a number of debates amongst anarchist theorists and activists as well as academics.[I]
