For our next reading, we will begin Constantin Parvulescu's “The Individualist Anarchist Discourse of Early Interwar Germany.” This text lands us at the intersection of anarchism and bohemianism in Weimar Berlin: the years between two catastrophic wars. It focuses on the journal “Der Einzige,” and its contributors who were progenitors of many of the ideas we have been discussing thus far in the reading group. For anyone critical of “organized community, revolutionary practices and the idea of mobilization,” and is enticed by an “invitation to disobedient reading, creation and active forgetting...a vision of communal living centered on antihumanism, singularity and individual revolt.” We are looking to learn from the stories of these lesser-known thinkers, whose ideas are still resonanting 100 years later.

May 8th
The next part of our literary adventure finds us entering some very roughly mapped waters, ones which we could call anti-social magic, or egoist spirituality, though those titles don't speak to the contents at all.
For our May 8th session, we will be discussing Meditation on Mediation by Mia X. Kursions and First Protocols of Queer Goetia.
As always we will meet at 6pm CST over jitsi. To get the link you can email (bugs) Ⓐni.hil.ist, or get it from a friend.

May Day
Serendipitously (or perhaps not) our next reading group date falls on May the 1st! Because of that, we will be doing something a bit different than previous sessions. Rather than reading from a specific text or confining ourselves to a textual focus at all, we will be responding to the question,
“What does anarchism, or anarchy mean to you?”
Our desire is for people to respond to this in any way they see fit, be it through story, poem, song, discussion, art, silence, or anything else. Similarly, feel free to take it in a definitional or sentimental direction. Rather than being a show-and-tell of sorts, we'd like for this to be more akin to a chaotic dinner party, where the focus is on enjoyment rather than any other formality. And of course, you are encouraged to bring guests!
Because we are a reading group we couldn't resist offering up at least one piece of optional reading: The Witch's Child. https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/anonymous-the-witch-s-child
As always, we will be meeting on jitsi at 6PM CST. You can email (bugs) Ⓐni.hil.ist for the jitsi room link, or get it from a friend.
