Beyond Molotovs

/ English / 2024 / 356 Pages

Authoritarianism operates at a visceral level, not through arguments. What is the best way to counter authoritarian affects? This publication brings together more than fifty first-hand accounts of anti-authoritarian movements by activists, artists, and scholars from around the world, focusing on the sensory and emotional dimensions of their strategies. From the collective art and aesthetics of feminist movements in India, Iran, Mexico, and Poland to sewing collectives, subversive internet art in Hong Kong, and even anti-authoritarian board games, the contributions offer new perspectives on resistance, subversion, and creation. Indeed, the handbook itself is a work of anti-authoritarian art.
