Reading and Discussion with Silvia Federici
Caliban and the Witch: Women, the Body and Primitive Accumulation
A Book Reading and Discussion with Silvia Federici
Tuesday November 30th, 7pm
At the Fusion Arts Museum
"Caliban and the Witch: Women, the Body and Primitive Accumulation" (Autonomedia, 2004) reconstructs the background of the great witch-hunt in Europe and the Americas, arguing that this unprecedented attack on women was a key aspect of the rise of capitalism and the formation of the proletariat. Federici will discuss the implications of her research for our understanding of the requirements of capitalist accumulation, the connections between "sex," "race" and "class," and the struggle against globalization.
Silvia Federici, a long time feminist activist and teacher, is co-founder of the Committee for Academic Freedom in Africa and the RPA (Radical Philosophy Association) Anti-Death Penalty Project. She teaches International Studies and Political Philosophy at Hofstra University. Federici’s published work includes: “Enduring Western Civilization: The Construction of the Concept of Western Civilization and its ‘Others’” (editor) and “A Thousand Flowers: Social Struggles Against Structural Adjustment in African Universities" (co-editor).
