There is an unresolved tension at the heart of Marxist explanations for women's oppression under capitalism. Although there is general agreement that the bourgeois family, as the dominant kinship unit, has something to do with generating and reproducing that oppression, the exact role of the family varies among Marxists. In this respect, Margaret Benston's proposal to situate domestic labor within capitalist production was truly pioneering. Rather than record and describe domestic work, Benston theorized this labor and laid the basis for later feminists to apprehend the production of commodities and the reproduction of labor power within a unitary framework.

Describes the twelve-day occupation of the Senate House Library of the University of London by students of the School of Oriental & African Studies (SOAS). The basis for the student action is described -- admission to the library of a portion of students was free, another required payment of fees to gain access -- followed by an explanation for students' focus on the library, the democratic process of the action, the actual vote taken for the action, & of the occupation itself.

Este texto retoma os elementos fundamentais da Teoria da Reprodução Social, enquanto aposta em um feminismo marxista contemporâneo. Ele começa pela definição do que é a reprodução social no capitalismo e segue para os debates sobre as relações entre produção e reprodução, o papel que a família desempenha, como pensar a sexualidade e os direitos reprodutivos e como os processos de espoliação neoliberal podem ser lidos com base na reprodução social. Esses tópicos são desenvolvidos em diálogo com outras tradições da teoria feminista, como o materialismo francês, a interseccionalidade, a aposta pelos " Comuns" e o autonomismo.

Este texto recorre los elementos fundamentales de la Teoría de la Reproducción Social en tanto apuesta por un feminismo marxista contemporáneo. Comienza por la definición de qué es la reproducción social bajo el capitalismo y se adentra luego en los debates sobre las relaciones entre producción y reproducción, cuál es el rol que juega la familia, cómo pensar la sexualidad y los derechos reproductivos y cómo pueden ser leídos los procesos de desposesión neoliberal en clave de la reproducción social. Estos tópicos están desarrollados en diálogo con otras tradiciones de la teoría feminista como el materialismo francés, la interseccionalidad, la apuesta por "los comunes" y el autonomismo.

Unaffordable housing, poverty wages, inadequate healthcare, border policing, climate change--these are not what you ordinarily hear feminists talking about. But aren't they the biggest issues for the vast majority of women around the globe? Taking as its inspiration the new wave of feminist militancy that has erupted globally, this manifesto makes a simple but powerful case: feminism shouldn't start--or stop--with the drive to have women represented at the top of their professions. It must focus on those at the bottom, and fight for the world they deserve. And that means targeting capitalism. Feminism must be anticapitalist, eco-socialist and antiracist

AbstractBringing together leading observers of the 2018 teachers' strikes in the United States, this forum surveys the origins, character, and trajectory of the rebellion as a whole. We examine the relations between union bureaucracies and the rank and file, the wider political context of the United States, the geography of the strike, immediate and longer-term grievances in the public-education sector, spontaneity and organisation, local cultural contexts and labour histories, strategies and tactics, social reproduction and gender, race and racism, and the potentialities and obstacles facing the movement in the near future.
