This lecture explores the central role of reproductive labor—care work, domestic labor, and the social reproduction of life—in sustaining capitalist economies.
Silvia Federici examines how struggles around care, the body, and everyday survival are linked to broader political movements defending the commons: shared resources, collective forms of life, and social cooperation. The conversation reflects on feminist histories of resistance and the possibilities for reclaiming collective power and autonomy today.
