The article uses the concept of sociopolitics that “echoes Foucault’s biopolitics” to discuss work of James Scott and David Graeber as well as the English-language translation of a 1980 collection of essays by Pierre Clastres. The author “argues that this anarchist anthropology articulates a clear break within anarchist theory. This break is in the ways the social and the political are related as means and ends in ethnography [..]”.
