Post-anarchism or
postanarchism is an
anarchist philosophy that employs
post-structuralist and
postmodernist approaches (the term
post-structuralist anarchism is used as well, so as not to suggest having moved beyond anarchism). Post-anarchism is not a single coherent theory, but rather refers to the combined works of any number of post-structuralists such as
Michel Foucault,
Gilles Deleuze,
Jacques Lacan;
postmodern feminists such as
Judith Butler; and
post-Marxists such as
Ernesto Laclau,
Chantal Mouffe,
Jacques Rancière; with those of the classical anarchists, with particular concentration on
Emma Goldman,
Max Stirner, and
Friedrich Nietzsche. Thus, the terminology can vary widely in both approach and outcome.
