"Situated at the intersection of anarchist and democratic theory, Anarchism and Art
focuses on four popular art forms--DIY (Do It Yourself) punk music, poetry, slam,
graffiti and street art, and flash mobs--found in the cracks between dominant political,
economic, and cultural institutions and on the margins of mainstream neoliberal society.
Mark Mattern interprets these popular art forms in terms of core anarchist values
of autonomy, equality, decentralized and horizontal forms of power, and direct action
by common people, who refuse the terms offered them by neoliberalism while creating
practical alternatives. As exemplars of central anarchist principles and commitments,
such forms of popular art, he argues, prefigure deeper forms of democracy than those
experienced by most people in today's liberal democracies. That is, they contain hints
of future, more democratic possibilities, while modeling in the present the characteristics
of those more democratic possibilities. Providing concrete evidence that progressive
change is both desirable and possible, they also point the way forward"
