Edward Avery-Natale is a professor of sociology at Mercer County Community College in West Windsor, NJ, where he specializes in the study of race, racism and ethnicity. His Ph.D. is in sociology from Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he also lives. He is the author of the book Ethics, Politics, and Anarcho-Punk Identifications: Punk and Anarchy in Philadelphia (Lexington, 2016) and articles such as ‘We’re here, we’re queer, we’re anarchists: The nature of identification and subjectivity among black-blocs’ (2010), and other articles both related and not directly related to anarchism and subculture. He also co-organized a symposium on race and anarchy at The University of Connecticut with Louis Gordan, Jane Gordon and George Cicarello-Maher in 2017. Most recently, he has been working with Dr Pablo Vila at Temple University on the application of Deleuzian affect and assemblage theory to the understanding of identification processes. This has led to the recent publication ‘Catholicism, protestantism and Mexicanness on the US-Mexico border: Discourses, narrative identities, habits and affect’ in the Journal of Contemporary Religion and a presentation titled ‘Moshing and the mosh pit as identitarian articulation: Deleuze and Laclau in the pit’ at the Fifth Annual Conference of the Punk Scholars Network in collaboration with the International Society for Metal Music Studies as well as numerous other articles currently in production, such as ‘Towards an affective understanding of processes of racialization’ and ‘On assemblages and diagrams: The circulation of affect in racialized encounters’.
