“…If I could formulate it in this way: the autonomy of the political -the category central to Mouffe (and Schmitt) -only makes sense if it is thought of in terms of a politics of autonomy. The re-situation of the political dimension away from the hegemony of the state is what I see as central to postanarchism (see Newman, 2010a).…”

In this paper, I call for a re-consideration of anarchism and its alternative ways of conceptualising spaces for radical politics. Here I apply a Lacanian analysis of the social imaginary to explore the utopian fantasies and desires that underpin social spaces, discourses and practices – including planning, and revolutionary politics. I will go on to develop – via Castoriadis and others – a distinctly post-anarchist conception of political space based around the project of autonomy and the re-situation of the political space outside the state. This will have direct consequences for an alternative conception of planning practice and theory.

“…It has often been suggested (see May, 1994;and Newman, 2010) that Marxist writers and activists have typically prioritised -to use the contemporary language -'strategy' over 'tactics'. In other words, Marxists are interested in setting out predefined political strategies -often based on a series of apriori assumptionsconcerning how to get from position 'a' (the problem) to position 'b' (the solution).…”

Relations programmes. His work focuses on the following areas interrelated areas: first, the constitution of modes of political subjectivity (in 'radical', liberal, neoliberal and conservative forms), and the relationship with dominant economic structures and forms of social identity, and second, the philosophical understanding of social movements (including anti-globalisation, anti-capitalism, Occupy, etc.) with specific reference to Marxist, post-Marxist, post-anarchist, and autonomist perspectives. Correspondence address:School AbstractThis paper situates the discourse of the Occupy movement within the context of radical political philosophy. Our analysis takes place on two levels. First, we conduct an empirical analysis of the 'official' publications of Occupy Wall Street (OWS) and Occupy London (OL). Operationalising core concepts from the framing perspective within social movement theory, we provide a descriptive-comparative analysis of the 'collective action frames' of OWS and OL. Second, we consider the extent to which radical political philosophy speaks to the discourse of Occupy. Our empirical analysis reveals that both movements share diagnostic frames, but there were notable differences in terms of prognostic framing. The philosophical discussion suggests that there are alignments between anarchist, post-anarchist and post-Marxist ideologies at the level of both identity and strategy. Indeed, the absence of totalising anti-capitalist or anti-statist positions in Occupy suggests that -particularly with Occupy Londonalignments are perhaps not so distant from typically social democratic demands.
