Anarchism and the Politics of Technology

Contemporary anarchism displays a strong ambivalence toward technology,with active resistance residing alongside extensive use and development. In this talk, Israeli activist and author Uri Gordon presents the discussion of technology in his new book "Anarchy Alive!". Criticizing both Promethean and primitivist approaches, he offers an alternative analysis that focuses on technology's reproduction of power relations, and points to directions for its reconstruction along decentralist principles.

Talk followed by open discussion.
