- This show presents an audiobook-ish experience, based on a talk by Silvia Federici about her book 'Caliban and the Witch'. This book talks about how the development of capitalism is deeply entwined with processes of accumulation which needs to mold and domesticate the bodies of women in specific ways. The politics of reproduction at stake in this historical study is still very much at work today, and this book provides an invaluable background to developing struggles around reproduction and care today.
A must for anyone interested in the connections between capitalism, gender and colonialism.
We recorded this in May 2013 in Vienna at the launch of the german translation of this book, published by Mandelbaum Verlag. Find a Pdf of the original English book here libcom.org/libr...

I’m reading the book now! It’s very well written and gives a very clear view as to its evolution from a string over unstoppable events.
I read a while back that one of the reasons women were accused of witchcraft was because theyvwere widows who owned property and often their husbands had died while fighting wars. The church would then take the property.
And still owns it today - never to be returned to the people or their descendants. So much stolen land leading to so much poverty through ages
Great talk and great book! I cried reading most of the book.
Why did you cry?
@@ajmosutra7667 Tears of sadness and joy. Sadness for the evils perpetrated by the ruling elites and tears of joy for the peoples push back. Their struggle. Particularly the role woman have played and how that history is denied them. That too made me very sad.
@@GnosticTroubadour cool! Any other books you cried to? If i may ask, why did this subject move you thusly? Of course, a lot of things in the book that happened are pretty monumental, i also was move(my feelings were more anger based and intelectual interest and reliving some of my male-female experiencias)
I often feel an immense rage and deep grief for these things. It is devastating, what has been done to us. And the damage it has wrought over time. And is still happening today, devastatingly. It was all tied up so long ago - it is immense and almost untouchable. But time is strong. Things shift, gradually.
I wish there was a transcript as my adhd brain just can’t hold on to this enough.
I love the title.
Thank you!
A must read!
brilliant!
Listening around 37:00, I'm wondering if there was a societal shift from thinking that when someone refused to share with a poor person they were in the wrong and deserved to be cursed, to thinking that the person refusing to share was in the right and the person doing the cursing was in the wrong. Before, the curse was a deserved punishment for selfishness; after, selfishness was okay and the curse became the crime.
excellent
What book should I read next!!!
Facts.
the captions are really bad
the captions are automatic ones, and never work well, especially with a person whose pronunciation doesn't follow the BBC/NBC standardized and sanitized versions of British or American English.

When u decide upon a theory - u can interpret history anyway u want to fit your pre determined theory. This is CRAP - I HATE shit like this. Woman had children - does this filter into your research????
So why do you think they burned so many women, herbalists, healers, single women, (as well as a few, but not many, men)? It took a lot of energy and it was supported by the highest reaches of power - why would they do that?
I’m not sure how women having children could be seen to refute this?
No, PhD historian Silvia Federici did not take into account that women had babies in her book about women losing control over their decisions about when and if to have babies. You nailed it. Golf clap.
