Based on Zapatista solidarity activism in Montreal and Mexico between 2006 and 2013, Lagalisse develops feminist debates regarding the construction of “public” vs. “private” space to suggest that anarchists operate according to state logic more than they realize. This ethnography was an early inspiration for Lagalisse’s Occult Features of Anarchism (2019, PM Press) and was included in in the French edition, Anarchisme Occulte (2022, Remue Ménage). https://en.scrappycapydistro.info/zines/an-exploration-of-current-anarcha-feminist-theory-and-praxis https://en.scrappycapydistro.info/zines/an-exploration-of-current-anarcha-feminist-theory-and-praxis Anarcha-feminism is a strong current within Berlin radicalim, and this text critically examines some of its most common practices and some recurring trends. https://en.scrappycapydistro.info/zines/a-guide-for-implementing-basic-covid-precautions https://en.scrappycapydistro.info/zines/a-guide-for-implementing-basic-covid-precautions The COVID-19 pandemic never stopped, and even if in its early days we had some idea of how to host events that limited the spread of the virus, it seems like we've forgotten how.

It discusses how they came to terms with their diseases while weaving in a narrative about what health means and the paritcular ways that the medical system considers health and sickness with a focus on productivity and capitalism. https://en.scrappycapydistro.info/zines/on-authenticity https://en.scrappycapydistro.info/zines/on-authenticity By studying ethnographic intersections of racialized and classed subjectivity informing diverse activist practices of “consensus process” in Mexico and Quebec, I illustrate how it is important for scholars and militants concerned with “intersectionality” to avoid collapsing analyses of race and class, including in relation to studies of “authenticity” and its longing. The anti-capitalist bourgeois subject’s practice is not what it preaches in unique ways, which lead to unique neuroses around authenticity. This multi-sited study is organized to intervene constructively in social movement debates regarding “consensus process,” as well as develop methodological reflections relevant to the theorization of intersectionality and epistemology. — E.
