The Fantin Reading Group returns this winter with a selection of interviews and essays from Cornelius Castoriadis. The texts have been selected as introductory-level readings with relavence to anarchism. While they should be of interest to those already familiar with Castoriadis’ thought, no specialist knowledge is required.

“The Project of Autonomy Is Not a Utopia” (1993), ASA
“Autonomy Is an Ongoing Process” (1990), ASA

Sunday 6 July, 4pm
“Revolutionary Perspectives Today” (1973), ASA
