ANARCHISTS ORGANISE PISS-UP IN BREWERY (01/08/08)

To celebrate the second birthday of the establishment of ASN in November 2007, members organised a tour of Nottingham's Castle Rock Brewery. Hangovers contributed to it taking this long to post up the announcement.

Jesse Cohn is the author of Anarchism and the Crisis of Representation: Hermeneutics, Aesthetics, Politics (Susquehanna University Press, 2006). Along the way, he has had to learn a good deal of French, since some of the most important work in 19th- and 20th-century anarchism has never been translated from its mother tongue. Currently, he is trying to put that to good use by publishing some of his translations of works by writers such as Pierre-Joseph Proudhon and Bernard Lazare.

Cohn teaches interpretive methods, popular culture, fiction, poetry, and literary theory in the Department of English and Modern Languages at Purdue University North Central.

You can find some of his writings at the links below:
