Periodization

[edit]

Just as anarchism resists firm definition, its history resists firm periodization.

Periodization of anarchism is contested[1]

"Classical anarchism": 1840s[2] or 1860s through 1940s[3][4]; heyday 1860–1939[5]; 1840–1939[6]

Heyday of global movement: 1880s–1914[3]

Proudhon is sometimes included along Bakunin and Kropotkin as a figure in classical anarchism.[7] Can also include Proudhon, Godwin, Malatesta, Goldman, Berkman.[8]

"Classical anarchism" defined in contrast to postanarchist, which critiques classical anarchism's humanist foundation.[9]; in contrast to post-classical (1940 and later)[6]

We have summarized the development of anarchist thought in six general categories above: early anarchist philosophy (Godwin, Proudhon, Stirner); classical anarchism (Bakunin, Kropotkin); new anarchism (Malatesta, Goldman, Chomsky); neo-classical anarchism (Bookchin); individualist anarchism (Read); and postmodern anarchism (May, Newman).

In contemporary historiography, Paris 1968 is viewed as having renewed interest in anarchism, as if the movement had been dormant since the end of the Spanish Civil War.[10]

Contemporary from 1960s New Left[11]
