<div>WHEN<br>Thursday, 8 May 2014<br>12:30<br>WHERE<br>Campus UAB<br>Building: ETSE<br>Room: Seminari Q3/0009<br><br><span style="FONT-WEIGHT:bold;">About Silvia Federici</span><br>Silvia Federici is a writer, teacher and feminist activist. In the ’70s she was one of the founders of the international<br>
campaign for the retribution of domestic labour. Her works, now translated in various languages, include: the Body<br>and Capitalist Accumulation (Autonomedia 2004), Revolution at Point Zero. Housework, Reproduction and feminist<br>
Struggle (PM Press 2012). Federici is now Emeritus Professor at Hofstra University (Hempstead, New York).<br><span style="FONT-WEIGHT:bold;"><br></span><span style="FONT-WEIGHT:bold;">Abstract</span><br>As the main subjects of reproductive work, from the beginning of capitalism to the present, women have been the<br>
main defenders of the commons against dispossession. In this context, Federici discusses how the struggles women<br>are making today against the privatization of our 'common goods' are transforming the process of reproduction and<br>
creating communities of resistance to the expansion of capitalist relations.<br></div>
<div><br><span style="FONT-WEIGHT:bold;">About Massimo De Angelis<br>Massimo De Angelis is Professor of Political Economy and Development at the University of East London. He is the<br>founding editor of the web journal The Commoner, and, among other works, author of The Beginning of History: Global<br>
capital and value struggles.</span></div>
<div><span style="FONT-WEIGHT:bold;"></span> </div>
<div><span style="FONT-WEIGHT:bold;">Abstract</span><br>What alternatives are there to capital, its social relations and crises? What strategic horizons in front of social movements?<br>How to contrast the crises and their socially, economically and ecologically devastating effects? I propose a conceptualisation<br>
of emancipatory and sustainable alternatives to capital at the historical point in which progressive policy<br>responses to the capital’s crisis seem to have reached an impasse. Plan C&D, or commons and democracy. This is<br>
the name I give to the “sense-horizon” of a social force that is distinct from capital, that is taking shape some time<br>tentatively and in the interstices of society while other times more openly as a movement against the political<br>
manifestation of capital. This latter instead, in today’s context seems to be stuck in different versions of plan A<br>(Neoliberalism) and unable to shift to a renewed orthodoxy of plan B (Keynesianism) and probably trying to co-opt<br>
elements of Plan C&D, but most likely combining more strictly with elements of plan E&F (exclusion and fashism).<br><span style="FONT-WEIGHT:bold;"><br></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
