Under neoliberal globalization women’s exploitation intensifies—in land enclosures, in forced migration, in the crisis of elder care.

It is here that we encounter the most promising battlefield between an outside to capital and a capital that cannot abide by any outsides. This timely collection of her essays reminds us that the shape and form of any revolution are decided in the daily realities and social construction of sex, care, food, love, and health. Women inhabit this zero point neither by choice nor by nature, but simply because they carry the burden of reproduction in a disproportionate manner. Their struggle to take control of this labor is everybody’s struggle, just as capital’s commodification of their demands is everybody’s commodification.” Massimo De Angelis, author of \u003cem\u003eThe Beginning of History: Values, Struggles, and Global Capital\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“In her unfailing generosity of mind, Silvia Federici has offered us yet another brilliant and groundbreaking reflection on how capitalism naturalizes the exploitation of every aspect of women’s productive and reproductive life. Federici theorizes convincingly that, whether in the domestic or public sphere, capital normalizes women’s labor as ‘housework’ worthy of no economic compensation or social recognition. Such economic and social normalization of capitalist exploitation of women underlies the gender-based violence produced by the neoliberal wars that are ravaging communities around the world, especially in Africa. The intent of such wars is to keep women off the communal lands they care for, while transforming them into refugees in nation-states weakened by the negative effects of neoliberalism. Silvia Federici’s call for ecofeminists’ return to the Commons against Capital is compelling.

The narratives move through past, present, and future—drawing on ancestral wisdom of place, speaking to the everyday political interventions of feminist freedom fighters in the here and now, and ultimately shaping future feminist resistors rising up from the earth and demanding change.

I try to answer this question by placing the specific forms of violence in a historical context and examining the impact of capitalist development, past and present, in women’s lives and gender relations. In this context, I also explore the relation between different forms of violence—familial, extra-domestic, and institutional—and the strategies for resistance that women around the world are creating to put a stop to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"Since the beginning of the feminist movement, violence against women has been a key issue in feminist literature and organization, inspiring the formation of the first International Tribunal on Crimes against Women, held in Brussels in March 1976. Since then, feminist antiviolence initiatives have multiplied, as have laws passed by governments following the UN World Conferences on Women. But, far from diminishing, violence against women has increased in every part of the world, to the point where feminists now describe it as “feminicide.” Not only has the violence represented by the number of women killed and abused continued to increase, but its character has also changed. It is increasingly more public, more brutal, and it frequently takes forms that are typical of times of war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"What are the causes of this phenomenon and what does it tell us about transformations that are occurring in the global economy and women’s social position? Answers to these questions have varied, but it is clear that the root causes of this escalation are found in the new forms of capital accumulation, which involve broad processes of land dispossession, the destruction of communitarian relations, and an intensification in the exploitation of natural resources and labor. What still needs to be clarified, however, are the concrete ways in which this violence is a consequence and\/or instrument of the advance of capitalist relations. In this chapter, I address the question both by providing a historical perspective, and by discussing the relation between domestic and public violence and policies at the institutional level that have been adopted to discipline women. My goal is to demonstrate that while this new wave of violence adopts different forms, its common denominator is the devaluation of women’s lives and labor promoted by globalization. In other words, the new violence against women is rooted in structural trends that are constitutive of capitalist development and state power in all times. This means that the construction of alternatives to capitalism must be an essential part of the struggle against this violence against women, in order to eradicate its causes.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eEditor: Silvia Federici\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eEditor: Susana Draper\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eEditor: Liz Mason-Deese\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eISBN: 9781942173441\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eSize: 240 pages\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher: Common Notions\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eYear: 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Common Notions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40175374893149,"sku":"9781942173441","price":28.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0826\/1213\/products\/feminicide_and_global_accumulation_9781942173441_fc.jpg?v=1654988967"},{"product_id":"commoning-with-george-caffentzis-and-silvia-federici","title":"Commoning with George Caffentzis and Silvia Federici","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis collection explores key themes in the contemporary critique of political economy, in honour of the work and practice of Silvia Federici and George Caffentzis - two of the most significant contemporary theorists of capitalism and anti-capitalism, whose contributions span half a century of struggle, crisis and debate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing together a collection of essays that assess Federici and Caffentzis's contributions, offering critical and comradely reflections and commentary that build on their scholarship, this volume acts as a guide to their work, while also taking us beyond it.

L’Argentine Verónica Gago, importante figure du fémi nisme latino-américain et du mouvement Ni una menos (Pas une de moins) se propose de brosser le portrait des grèves de femmes dans leur dimension offensive aussi bien que théorique. Dans un manifeste au ton vigoureux, elle montre la capacité du mouvement féministe à saisir à bras le corps les luttes anticapitalistes, anticoloniales et antipatriarcales. Silvia Frederici souligne d’ailleurs, en introduction, cette triple perspective du féminisme latino-américain qui devient, selon elle, la locomotive inclusive de toutes ces luttes qui l’animent et qui lui font prendre la rue et s’organiser.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLe programme féministe tel que présenté par Gago considère la grève sous deux angles. D’abord, celle-ci repose sur une analyse de la condition des femmes. L’auteure montre que le combat contre l’invisibilisation a comme corolaire le combat contre la précarité ainsi qu’une politisation de la souffrance. Ensuite, d’un point de vue pratique, la grève renouvelle la puissance de la lutte féministe en repoussant le stéréotype du gréviste masculin et blanc, et en déplaçant les enjeux sociaux sur les territoires des femmes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePartant de ce constat, l’argument se déploie à travers les chapitres comme autant de programmes à la fois pratiques et critiques. L’auteure aborde entre autres le rapport entre la violence et l’accumulation capitaliste. Le concept de “corps-territoire” est aussi mis en lien avec les luttes anti-extractivistes. Elle explore ensuite le territoire transversal d’une Internationale féministe. En filigrane, Gago procède à une réappropriation féministe de diverses théories, de Marx à Luxemburg, à la fois dans le discours et dans l’action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAinsi, au spectre du communisme, brandi ironiquement par Marx, Gago répond en agitant le spectre du féminisme. La levée de boucliers que suscite la puissance féministe et la contre-offensive des forces réactionnaires ne doivent pas faire oublier leur aspect réactif ni le fait que la lutte féministe les précède. Dans ce sens, il importe de considérer que la lutte des femmes est constituante, qu’elle est une “force d’insubordination”. Mais l’on se doit aussi de comprendre qu’elle représente une menace et une atteinte à l’ordre social et qu’elle aura comme principal ennemi l’Église. Faut-il s’en surprendre?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEn épilogue, le collectif Collages féminicides Montréal, dont l’action consiste à placarder des slogans féministes sur les murs de la ville, explique de quelle manière il s’inscrit aussi dans la reconquête féministe de l’espace et du temps.
