| סיכום: | This article argues that a part of the perceived rise in contemporary anarchism is somewhat misplaced. Political anarchism has been a potent force since the mid-nineteenth century onwards.Several variations of anarchist thought and the possible hierarchies that they have established are examined here, ones that the article notably rejects, in the name of a pluralism that is at the heart of anarchism. Other strategies and dilemmas of contemporary anarchism, as they pertain to anthropology, the classroom and academia are also treated. The imperative of strict scientific rigor is problematized, with the aim of a more tactical appreciation of the uses of fiction and of fictional ethnographic fields. In conclusion, the article argues against the trope of anarchism as an impossible dream. It affirms that a needed consequence of the cultural relativism common to both anarchism and anthropology is a political pluralism that should exist among the different self-conscious anarchisms. |
