Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

While historians have been increasingly attentive to the politics and culture of social movements since the long sixties, they have engaged much less with the significance of anarchism within these activist currents. As part of an emerging field of anarchist studies, this article demonstrates that anarchist projects were critical in shaping postwar political radicalism in Vancouver and its relationship to a global pattern of cultural transformation, capitalist restructuring, and social movement activism. Specifically, the article investigates how and why Vancouver’s anarchist community created strong political, personal, and cultural connections with an emerging punk scene during the 1970s and early 1980s. It demonstrates that these relationships emerged from anarchism’s conflicting relationship with the city’s New Left and countercultural communities in the long sixties, as well as from anarchists’ specific engagement with punk as a tool for revolutionary struggle in the wake of the sixties. Overall, the article argues that anarchists cultivated connections with punk in this context because they saw it as awash with the potential to bridge generations of political dissent; to support emerging activist projects; and to help usher in new expressions of radical culture in the city. In so doing, the article offers new insights into the political, social, and cultural legacies of the long sixties, in Vancouver and beyond. Abstract: Alors que les historiens ont ete de plus en plus attentifs a la politique et a la culture des mouvements sociaux depuis les longues annees soixante, ils se sont engages beaucoup moins a l’importance de l’anarchisme au sein de ces courants activistes. Dans le cadre d’un nouveau domaine d’etudes anarchistes, cet article montre que les projets anarchistes etaient cruciaux dans le faconnement radicalisme politique d’apres-guerre a Vancouver, et dans sa relation a un modele global de la transformation culturelle, de la restructuration capitaliste, et de l’activisme de mouvement social. Plus precisement, l’article examine comment et pourquoi la communaute anarchiste de Vancouver a cree des liens politiques, personnels et culturels forts avec une scene punk emergente au cours des annees 1970 et au debut des annees 1980. Il demontre que ces relations ont emerge de la relation conflictuelle de l’anarchisme avec la Nouvelle Gauche et les communautes contre-culture de la ville dans les longues annees soixante, ainsi que de l’engagement specifique des anarchistes avec le punk comme un outil de lutte revolutionnaire dans le sillage des annees soixante. Dans l’ensemble, l’article soutient que les anarchistes ont noue des liens avec le punk dans ce contexte parce qu’ils l’ont vu comme l’inonde avec le potentiel pour combler les generations de dissidence politique; pour soutenir des projets emergents d’activistes; et pour aider a ouvrir la voie a de nouvelles expressions de la culture radicale de la ville. Ce faisant, l’article propose de nouvelles perspectives sur les heritages politiques, sociaux et culturels des longues annees soixante, a Vancouver et au-dela.
