The editors of Perspectives on Anarchist Theory are seeking essays, photo-essays, project documentation, interviews, and book reviews for an issue of theoretical, practical, and activist engagements with architecture and urbanism.

Theory & History: ANARCHITECTURE
We are seeking anarchist reflections on the relationship between social change and the built environment, the peculiar relationship of modern construction to capitalism, and aphorisms that fumble toward an anarchist theory of the city.

Practice: BUILDING
We are seeking documentation of alternative practices in the built environment, detailed discussions of alternative models of property or the architecture of anarchist communes, discussion of vernacular architectures, and practical examples of autonomous construction.

Struggle: POWER
Domination unfolds in space: How have people challenged domination in space? We are interested in everything here from professionals engaged in combating Eminent Domain / displacement and grassroots organizations challenging the spatial agenda of the War on Drugs/Terror to collective efforts to reimagine the city and private spatial experiments in freedom.

We welcome finished essays as well as proposals for new work. If you are interested in writing for this issue, but do not have a specific topic, please send us a statement of interest, and we may provide you with a project to respond to. We also welcome suggestion of projects / actions that we should consider.
