摘要

This chapter positions love as a key concept in political theory and philosophy and for performing a central (counter hegemonic) role in the revolutionary transformation of contemporary global capitalism—isolating a distinctive lineage of revolutionary love from the early twentieth century to the present day which has acted to animate a radical political culture aligned to the pursuit of freedom. Focusing through the works of anarchist/autonomist theorists Emma Goldman and Michael Hardt, it will explore how new love-based political subjectivities, practices, and group formations might present opportunities for a reimagining of the frame within which an alter-globalisation can occur—drawing on, and making links with contemporary ideas of love as a political concept for radical social transformation in the twenty-first century.
