Dr Christos Marneros is presenting his paper “The Anarchists Against the Law” at 2nd Nomos Conference entitled After Neoliberalism? Constitution, Democracy, and Capitalism, which will take place on 12-13 May 2023 at the Department of Law, University of Gothenburg. The paper engages with the anarchist critique of the law and legal subjectivity more general by focusing on the work of Peter Kropotkin and Max Stirner.

Dr Marneros’ paper examines the anarchist critique of the law and its ability to justify the state’s monopoly of violence, by focusing on the writings of two important thinkers of the anarchist tradition, albeit in a very different sense from one another, Peter Kropotkin and Max Stirner. By doing so, it aims to point towards a potentiality of thinking beyond the yoke of the law and (re)think our ways of existing that, hopefully, will be in a position to disorient the fixed boundaries of (legal) subjectivity.
