Colin Ward

    14 augustus 1924 – 11 februari 2010

    Colin Ward was een invloedrijke Britse anarchist en auteur wiens werk zich richtte op niet-hiërarchische vormen van sociale organisatie en op het oplossen van huisvestings- en planningsproblemen met anarchistische principes. Hij hield zich voornamelijk bezig met thema's als zelfhulp-huisvesting, informele nederzettingen en kritiek op overmatige planningsregels. Ward bepleitte een flexibelere benadering van huisvesting, waardoor mensen hun eigen huizen geleidelijk en in kleinere eenheden konden bouwen, geïnspireerd door architectonische systemen zoals dat van Walter Segal. Zijn visie was gericht op het afschaffen van autoritaire structuren en het vervangen daarvan door zelfbesturende, gedecentraliseerde gemeenschappen, waar bureaucratische tendensen de minste kans kregen om zich te ontwikkelen.

    • Shed all the tears for one-hundred more years,but our compass is now moral-rotten.How dare we proclaim each year just the samewhen each war says we’ve all long forgotten?Silhouette in the Sunset has been created in tribute to the 100th year anniversary of the end of World War One. It is an unashamed pacifist voice throughout, written from a philosophical, social, political, and personal perspective.I hope to have captured a range of expression through rhythm, form, language and imagery, raising more questions than ever attempting to offer answers or solutions. Perhaps one major theme is how it seems increasingly difficult in this morally fractured world to truly differentiate between friend and foe.

      The argument of this book is that an anarchist society, a society which organises itself without authority, is always in existence. Through a wide-ranging analysis - drawing on examples from education, urban planning, welfare, housing, the environment, the workplace, and the family, to name but a few - Colin Ward demonstrates that the roots of anarchist practice are not so alien or quixotic as they might at first seem but lie precisely in the ways that people have always tended to organise themselves when left alone to do so.
