Introduction

This is a rough attempt at showing the benefits of creating a bonus Radical Anthropology archive with AmuseWiki software, plus sketching out a vision of what a future library could look like.

Online libraries that run on AmuseWiki software provide high quality online web browser versions of texts, along with various other formats, like PDFs, plain text, HTML, EPUB, and XeLaTeX.

This means texts can be DIY printed to high quality formatting, plus at low ink cost, rather than trying to print from a photoscan.

All AmuseWiki sites also provide a way for distributors and friends to change the layout of the PDFs and to create collections of an arbitrary number of texts (1 or more). See the bookbuilder page.

The sites also have an advanced search engine where you can find a text you want to read by searching a short sentence and it will search the full contents of every text on the library.

Also, it standardizes the various formats and bad quality scans that exist of texts, for example I typed up this photocopied to death image so that people could find it easier to read:

There’s also lots of cool features like a text collections system people can incorporate:

a-b-a-blueprint-for-a-future-radical-anthropology-1.png
a-b-a-blueprint-for-a-future-radical-anthropology-2.png

Finally, with the library working like a wiki, you can have 1, a few, or many librarians deciding on what texts ultimately get published and deleted, however, anyone can submit edits and new texts, so it isn’t one person doing all the work.

Radical Anthropology talks 2025

Language, art, music and culture emerged in Africa over 100,000 years ago, culminating in a symbolic explosion or ‘human revolution’ whose echoes can still be heard in myths and cultural traditions from around the world. These talks are a general introduction to social and biological anthropology, ranging over fields as diverse as hunter-gatherer studies, mythology, primatology, archaeology and archaeoastronomy. Radical Anthropology brings indigenous rights activists, environmentalists, feminists and others striving for a better world together with people of all ages who just want to learn about anthropology.

About

Radical: about the inherent, fundamental roots of an issue.

Anthropology: the study of what it means to be human.

Anthropology asks one big question: what does it mean to be human? To answer this, we cannot rely on common sense or on philosophical arguments. We must study how humans actually live – and the many different ways in which they have lived. This means learning, for example, how people in non-capitalist societies live, how they organise themselves and resolve conflict in the absence of a state, the different ways in which a ‘family’ can be run, and so on.

Additionally, it means studying other species and other times. What might it mean to be almost – but not quite – human? How socially self-aware, for example, is a chimpanzee? Do nonhuman primates have a sense of morality? Do they have language? And what about distant times? Who were the Australopithecines and why had they begun walking upright? Where did the Neanderthals come from and why did they become extinct? How, when and why did human art, religion, language and culture first evolve? While RAG has never defined itself as a political organization, the implications of some forms of science are intrinsically radical, and this applies in particular to the theory that humanity was born in a social revolution. Many RAG members choose to be active in Survival International and/or other indigenous rights movements to defend the land rights and cultural survival of hunter-gatherers. Additionally, some RAG members combine academic research with activist involvement in environmentalist, anti-capitalist and other campaigns.

History

The Radical Anthropology Group started in 1984 when Chris Knight’s popular ‘Introduction to Anthropology’ course at Morley College, London, was closed down, supposedly for budgetary reasons. Within a few weeks, the students got organised, electing a treasurer, secretary and other officers. They booked a library in Camden – and invited Chris to continue teaching next year. In this way, the Radical Anthropology Group was born. Later, Lionel Sims, who since the 1960s had been lecturing in sociology at the University of East London, came across Chris’s PhD on human origins and – excited by the backing it provided for the anthropology of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, particularly on the subject of ‘primitive communism’ – invited Chris to help set up Anthropology at UEL. During the 1990s several other RAG members including Ian Watts, Camilla Power, Isabel Cardigos and Charles Whitehead completed PhDs at University College London and Kings College London, before going onto further research and teaching. For almost two decades, Anthropology at UEL retained close ties with the Radical Anthropology Group, Chris becoming Professor of Anthropology in 2001. He was sacked by UEL’s corporate management in July 2009 for his role in organising and publicising demonstrations against the G20 in April.

Call out for web developers

It’d be good to find a web developer interested in following this how to guide for setting up the AmuseWiki software: <anarchistlibraries.net/howto> on AF2C’s servers, plus to be the main person that can be around to do a little site maintenance if necessary like be able to work out if a PDF with really big dimensions is messing up the website script.

So, if anyone has the time and would be up for getting involved it’d be super appreciated. If you want to check out the AF2C website it’s: <af2c.org>, plus here’s the AF2C matrix chat that it’d be good for people to join, so that the group can vet peeps before giving access codes to the server:

matrix.to/#/#af2c:envs.net

Finally, Marco from anarchistlibraries.net offered to help tutor anyone who’d like a hand navigating the server files by messaging the #amusewiki IRC:
