Autonomedia
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Autonomedia is one of the main North American publishers of radical theoretical works, especially in the anarchist and ultra-left marxist tradition. For many years Autonomedia was linked with the press Semiotext(e), which was one of the major sources for English language translations of post-structuralist literature, especially in the 1980s. In the early 2000's, however, the two presses split; Semiotext(e) became part of MIT Press.
"Autonomedia" publishes books on a variety of topics, such as anarchism, "autonomist" and extraparliamentary marxism, cyberfeminism, psychedelics and drug literature, turn of the century queer individualist anarchist novels, etc. Well-known authors include Antonio Negri, Peter Lamborn Wilson (who also prints under the pseudonym Hakim Bey), Silvia Federici, PM, John Moore, and others. They also are known for publishing the "Autonomedia Calendar of Jubilee Saints," in which every day of the calendar recalls a deceased person of some significance to progressive movements or thought, and also is a holiday of some sort.
