• <–Abstract: “Gift theory is one of the most interesting and significant strands of twentieth-century Western thought. This theory has even made its way into popular culture, notably in contemporary science fiction novels. Gift economies emerge in the literature of science fiction as a revolutionary theoretical challenge to the discourses of capitalism and statism. Anarchist theory could therefore benefit greatly from a serious and sustained examination of the principles of gift exchange articulated in these novels. Bruce Sterling’s ‘prestige servers,’ Kim Stanley Robinson’s ecological gift-giving, and the gift-exchange culture envisioned by Ursula K. Le Guin all contribute to the construction of a radical, anarchist vision of political economy. Such a vision values generosity rather than accumulation, reputation rather than material wealth, and equality rather than hierarchy. The gift exchange systems of contemporary science fiction take a vibrant system of political economy from humanity’s distant past and apply it to our possible futures.”

• <–Abstract: “How can revolutionary opposition avoid becoming a mirror image of the system it opposes? This has long been a central question for anarchism. Pat Murphy’s novel, in which a stateless community wages a non-violent war of resistance against invaders, promises to make an answer to our question visible. Paradoxically, The City, Not Long After surreptitiously closes the very question it attempts to open, sacrificing its own radical potential in the process. My counter-questions, then, are: 1) What compels this novel to take back with one hand what it gives with the other? 2) If this attempt at imaginative transcendence ends in a self-cancelling gesture, what does its fate imply for anarchist theory? Additionally: how can we raise issues of ‘realism’ in fiction and political speculation without falling into the bad logic of vulgar realism – the very logic which makes every alternative to the system appear unreal?”

Although he is best known for his humorous stories, his fiction contains a strong streak of political radicalism which was unusual in the science fiction of the time. This article looks at Russell’s published fiction and at the Russell Archive recently deposited at the University of Liverpool in order to assess Russell’s own political views. It analyses in particular the novella ‘…And Then There Were None’ (1951) and The Great Explosion (1962), the novel which grew from it, and argues that they constitute a fictional discussion about different varieties of anarchism. The article concludes by looking at some of Russell’s other short fiction and the letters in the Archive, suggesting that Russell was motivated by a strong distrust of authority of all kinds, and that his own political philosophy was close to anarchism.”

Sobstyl, Edrie (1999). “All the Sisters of Shora: An Anarcha/Ecofeminist Reading of Slonczewski’s A Door Into Ocean.” Anarchist Studies 7.2: 127-154. <–Abstract: “Despite similar origins and shared commitments, anarchist environmentalism (known as social ecology) and ecofeminism have grown increasingly distant from, and sometimes even hostile to, one another. Some social ecologists decry the self-absorbed, essentialist New Age romanticism of the ‘ecomystics’, while ecofeminists give their attention to elaborate critiques of the rationalist/humanist ideals of social ecology. Both parties persist in misunderstanding and undervaluing one another, and in so doing reinforce a schism between science and culture which helps to sustain both environmental degradation and human oppression. In this essay I will offer a reading of Joan Slonczewski’s 1986 science fiction novel, A Door Into Ocean, which makes use of both social ecology and ecofeminism as interpretive strategies in order to create an accommodation between these two stances, and return them to fruitful cooperation. I begin with a plot synopsis. A more theoretical dialogue follows with a two-part summary of Murray Bookchin’s social ecology, which, while not comprehensive in scope, focuses on both those elements of his anarchist environmentalism which are underutilised by ecofeminists, and those which are misinterpreted. It also highlights ecofeminist and anarchafeminist views which have the most in common with Bookchin’s ideals. The utility of the novel in broaching a compromise between the two perspectives is woven throughout this discussion, and the use of fiction for social ecology and ecofeminism is addressed more directly in part four. Finally, I focus on ecofeminism’s response to Bookchin, and what ecofeminists still have to offer social ecology that Bookchin’s analysis lacks.”

Tremlett, Paul-F. (1999). “Borg: A Critical Encounter.” Anarchist Studies 7.2: 171-183. <–Abstract: “In this paper I develop a ‘reading’ of the film, Star Trek: First Contact (1997). I begin by elaborating a critical anarchist hermeneutic that understands interpretation as praxis and meaning(s) as mutable and unstable. I suggest that the film can be understood as an effort to mediate a crisis in human relations with technology (a potential ‘other’). I argue that the principal element or relation through which this crisis is posed and then resolved is that between Picard, Data and the Borg ‘queen’. The stability of a postulated father-son relationship enjoyed by Picard and Data is threatened by the intervention of the Borg queen, who attempts Data’s seduction. Picard must ‘save’ Data and destroy the Borg, and, in so doing, preserve the stable and discrete identities of human and machine to prevent a descent into disorder signified by the hybridity of the Borg. Disorder, as the absence of any organising principle of knowledge or experience, is further linked to the post-structuralist critique of ‘foundationalism’ and the anarchist critique of government.”
