Essay #91: Jim Donaghey, ‘DIY: A Radical Culture and Ethic Beyond Punk’
14 Oct 2024
In this essay, Jim Donaghey reads an adaption from the introduction to DIY or Die! Do-it-yourself, do-it-together and punk anarchism – the latest volume in The Anarchism and Punk Book Project. The essay goes beyond and before punk to explore the radicality that runs through DIY, in its diverse applications from home improvement to anarchist political philosophy. Jim Donaghey is a punk working in academia, currently as a Research Fellow at Ulster University. You can read his publications at his website.
