The anyway publishing house is a small publishing house that was founded in 1978 by Wolfgang Haug and others. Since 2001 it has been run in the legal form of a cooperative . Its registered office is in Frankfurt am Main . The publishing program includes predominantly anarchist literature. From May 1980 to July 2004 the publishing house was the editor of the anarchist magazine Schwarzer Faden .
history
The publishing house was founded as an alternative project in 1978 in Reutlingen (Baden-Wuerttemberg) under the influential influence of Wolfgang Haug, who was then resident , after preliminary work at the International Institute for Social History (IISG) in Amsterdam and due to numerous discussions in so-called career perspective working groups at the University of Tübingen . The aim of the anarchist project was "to contribute to the preservation and further development of a lively and radical left culture in the former FRG" . The choice of the name "anyway" referred to the social and political atmosphere after the German autumn .
From the beginning, the publishing house saw itself as a project of the counter-public and as part of the alternative movement . He was part of the Anares Federation of Anarchist Sales . The focus should be on publications on the following topics: self-organization, self-administration , culture from below, resistant history and theory as well as current developments in anarchism . From May 1980 on, the anarchist magazine Schwarzer Faden was published in the shop.
The publishing house was able to work actively with old comrades such as Augustin Souchy , Clara Thalmann or the emigrant group around the magazine Dinge Der Zeit . The 1990s were marked by translations by US authors Murray Bookchin , Noam Chomsky and Janet Biehl . Employees of the publishing house became active in conferences (e.g. International Anarchist Meeting 1984 in Venice, Conference on Libertarian Communalism in Lisbon 1998) and annual meetings ( Kronstadt Congress in Berlin , FLI - Forum for Libertarian Information; Libertarian Days in Frankfurt, etc.). In 1993 the publishing house took over the holdings of the Bremer Impuls-Verlag , including titles by Michel Foucault and Victor Serge . In 1995, the émigré magazine Dinge der Zeit , published since 1947, joined the publisher.
In 2001 the previous Nevertheless-Verlag was transferred to a cooperative together with 120 members . Co-founder was Wolfgang Haug, who remained a member of the board from 2001 to 2003, but then withdrew. Dieter Schmidt is now the managing director. The publishing house is currently located in Frankfurt am Main. Since June 2007, however, has been cooperating with Alibri Verlag . New releases are published under the label however at Alibri.
structure
The publishing house understands its working structure as a consciously political anarchist cooperative. Members also receive a 30 percent discount on purchasing publications. Once a year, public cooperative meetings take place, to which all members are invited and newcomers are welcome. So far, the location is mostly Club Voltaire in Frankfurt. The anyway publishing cooperative works closely with the Alibri publishing house . The publishing house is connected to the aLiVe publishing house distribution of left-wing publishers.
