The Origins of Civil Society
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at UCSC Humanities 1 Building, Room 210
(see times)
Kathi Weeks: "The Problem with Work: Feminism, Marxism, Antiwork Politics and Postwork Imaginaries"
The development of the discipline of political economy, including its dialogue with modern political philosophy, is closely intertwined with the rise and expansion of capitalist society. As we turn our attention today to capitalism's crisis tendencies and the future of the market society, a critical examination of this foundational history becomes the starting point of the analysis of the present. This lecture series addresses the origins of civil society from several vantage points: the legal and political forms that underly market relations; the transformation of the labor process; the role of gender and reproductive labor; and the history of separation from the means of subsistence.
