Anarquia: federalismo e autogestão na comuna de Paris de 1871

Abstract

This undergraduate thesis examines the Anarchist Movement as the academic focus of our research, with the Paris Commune of 1871 as the sociological object of investigation. Additionally, we explore key ideas associated with Federalism (Proudhonian) and Self- Management (Socialist). To support our bibliographic review, we employ theoretical and epistemological tools from Historical Sociology and Social History. Our analysis discusses the role of the (French) anarchist movement in the Parisian insurrection, highlighting the emergence and dissolution of the International Workingmen’s Association (IWA). We also debate the influence of IWA members in founding the “revolutionary clubs” and “Vigilance Committees,” which were essential for governmental decentralization during the Commune’s existence. The authors we engage with include George Woodcock, Max Nettlau, Jean Préposiet, Kristin Ross, Ian McKay, Alexandre Samis, Karl Marx, Horacio González, and Prosper-Olivier Lissagaray. Moreover, we address the historical omission and distortion of anarchist practices by the Marxist school throughout the decades. Finally, we conclude that the Paris Commune of 1871, emerging from the establishment of the Anarchist Movement as a political organization in 1868, represents the first anti-statist and anti-authoritarian proletarian revolution.
