Abstract

This survey aims to reflect on the current state of anarchist studies. Responses to three questions sent to 26 researchers on anarchism from nine countries in Latin America, the United States and Europe during the first semester of 2021 contribute to the map construction on the dynamic field of anarchist studies both internationally and locally. The participant's reflections refer to different topics related to history, historiography, methodology, documentary collections, and the renovations produced in the last decades, also mentioning the relationship between academic production and political mobilization. In this way, the survey provides diverse readings and opinions in whose heterogeneity it is possible to find an adjusted balance on plural anarchist research, past, present and future.
