本文旨在扩大和深化关于自主活动家日常做法的辩论。为了做到这一点，我们提出了三个主要的研究结果，从最近的一个研究项目，详细研究了我们所谓的“自治地理”。首先，就政治认同而言，我们强调政治项目的参与者如何解决问题并超越激进主体的简单想法，与反对现状的日常生活区分开来。第二，我们强调日常实践是如何被用来建立现在所希望的未来的，但这个过程是实验性的，混乱的和偶然的，也是必然的。最后，我们阐明了有争议的空间嵌入在政治行动主义，既不是本地的边界，也不容易转移到跨国。这种对日常行动主义的探索表明，我们所接触的参与者表达了同时反资本主义、反资本主义和后资本主义的身份、实践和空间形式。我们认为，正是通过其日常节奏，意义被赋予后资本主义，正是这种重新概念化，使后资本主义的实践平凡，但同时也方便，令人兴奋的，可行的和强大的。本文借鉴了在2005年至2008年期间，在英国的基层，无党派政治活动家的日常生活中，为期30个月的实证研究项目收集的材料。详细探讨了三个案例研究--自治社会中心、低影响开发项目和抵制中产阶级化的租户网络。
This article aims to broaden and deepen debates on the everyday practices of autonomous activists. To do this we present three main research findings from a recent research project that looked in detail at what we called ‘autonomous geographies’. First, in terms of political identity, we highlight how participants in political projects problematise and go beyond the simple idea of the militant subject, set apart from the everyday who opposes the present condition. Second, we highlight how everyday practices are used to build hoped-for futures in the present, but that this process is experimental, messy and contingent, and necessarily so. Finally, we illuminate the contested spatialities embedded within political activism that are neither locally bounded nor easily transferable to the transnational. This exploration of everyday activism has illuminated that the participants we engaged with express identities, practices and spatial forms that are simultaneously anti-, despite- and post- capitalist. We argue that it is through its everyday rhythms that meaning is given to post-capitalism and it is this reconceptualisation that makes post-capitalist practice mundane, but at the same time also accessible, exciting, feasible and powerful. This paper draws upon material collected during a 30-month empirical research project into the everyday lives of grassroots, non-party political activists in the UK between 2005 and 2008. Three case studies were explored in detail – autonomous social centres, Low Impact Developments, and tenants’ networks resisting gentrification.
