Silivia Federici Revolution at Point Zero: Housework, Reproduction, and Feminist Struggle

Film of the Public Lecture by Silvia Federici about her new book: Revolution at Point Zero: Housework, Reproduction, and Feminist Struggle (PM Press, 2012)

Written between 1974 and the present, Revolution at Point Zero collects forty years of research and theorizing on the nature of housework, social reproduction, and women’s struggles on this terrain—to escape it, to better its conditions, to reconstruct it in ways that provide an alternative to capitalist relations. In this talk Silvia outlines the ideas within this book in a clear and lucid way. Indeed, as Federici reveals, behind the capitalist organization of work and the contradictions inherent in “alienated labor” is an explosive ground zero for revolutionary practice upon which are decided the daily realities of our collective reproduction. Beginning with Federici’s organizational work in the Wages for Housework movement, the essays collected here unravel the power and politics of wide but related issues including the international restructuring of reproductive work and its effects on the sexual division of labor, the globalization of care work and sex work, the crisis of elder care, the development of affective labor, and the politics of the commons

unPoliceYourMind: Debt

forgottenness:

“Being indebted to a bank hides the fact that there is a relation of exploitation. As a debtor, you don’t appear any longer as a worker. Debt is very mystifying. It brings about a change in the management of class relations. This is what is at stake in the ideology of…

“Italy epitomizes the social contradictions of the whole world, and tries, in a manner we are familiar with, to amalgamate in a single country the repressive Holy Alliance of class power, bureaucratic-totalitarian and bourgeois, which already functions openly across the face of the earth in an economic and police State solidarity; although, of course, not without some discussion and settling accounts in the Italian manner. As the most advanced country at the moment in its slide toward a proletarian revolution, Italy is also the most modern sort of laboratory for international counter-revolution. Other governments coming out of the old bourgeois democracy, “pre-spectacular” in nature, look on with admiration at the Italian government for the impassiveness which it can maintain at the tumultuous center of its degradation, and for the calm dignity with which it sits in the mud. It is a lesson which they will have to apply in their own countries for a long time.”

Guy Debord, from the 4th Italian edition of La Société du spectacle
                            

                                                    *****


«L’Italia riassume le contraddizioni sociali del mondo intero, e tenta, nel modo che si sa, di amalgamare in un solo Paese la Santa Alleanza repressiva del potere di classe borghese e burocratico-totalitario»

Stills: Il divo, 2008, Paolo Sorrentino
