Silvia Federici (Italian pronunciation: [ˈsilvja fedeˈriːtʃi]; born 1942) is an Italian and American scholar, teacher, and activist from the radical autonomist feminist Marxist and anarchist tradition.[1] She is a professor emerita and Teaching Fellow at Hofstra University in New York state, where she was a social science professor.[2] She worked as a teacher in Nigeria for many years, is also the co-founder of the Committee for Academic Freedom in Africa, and is a member of the Midnight Notes Collective.[3]
Background
Federici was born in Parma, Italy, in 1942.[4] She moved to the US in 1967 to study for a PhD in philosophy at the University at Buffalo[5] with support from a Fulbright scholarship.[4] She taught at the University of Port Harcourt in Nigeria, and was Associate Professor and later Professor of Political Philosophy and International Studies at New College of Hofstra University.
She was co-founder of the International Feminist Collective, and an organizer with the wages for housework campaign. In 1973, she helped start Wages for Housework groups in the US. In 1975 she published Wages Against Housework, the book most commonly associated with the wages for housework movement.[6]
She also co-founded the Committee for Academic Freedom in Africa (CAFA), and was involved with the Midnight Notes Collective. In 1995, she co-founded the Radical Philosophy Association (RPA) anti-death penalty project.
Federici는 그녀의 파트너인 George Caffentzis와 함께 Brooklyn의 Park Slope에 산다.[4]
학자적 기여
페데리치의 가장 잘 알려진 작품인 칼리반과 마녀: 여성, 육체와 원시적 축적은 근대 초기의 마녀사냥의[7][8][9][10] 이유를 조사하면서도 페미니스트적 해석을 내놓는 레오폴디나 포르투나티의 작품으로 확대된다. 그 속에서 그녀는 원시적 축적이 자본주의의 필수 전구라는 칼 마르크스의 주장에 반대한다. 대신에, 그녀는 원시적 축적이 자본주의 그 자체의 근본적인 특징이라고 주장한다. 자본주의가 그 자체를 영구화하기 위해서는 수용된 자본의 지속적인 투입이 필요하다는 것이다.
Federici는 이러한 수용을 재생산과 그 외 다른 방법으로 연결된 여성의 무급 노동과 연결시킨다. 그녀는 이것을 임금 노동으로 전제된 자본주의 경제의 상승의 역사적 전제조건으로 삼고 있다. 이와 관련, 그녀는 공동체를 위한 역사적 투쟁과 공산주의를 위한 투쟁의 개요를 제시한다. 페데리치는 자본주의를 봉건주의의 해방적 패배로 보는 대신 자본주의의 등반을 공산주의의 고조되는 흐름을 전복하고 기본적인 사회적 계약을 유지하기 위한 반동적인 움직임으로 해석한다.
그녀는 강간과 매춘의 제도화는 물론 이단자 및 마녀사냥 재판, 화형, 고문 등을 여성에 대한 조직적 복속과 노동의 전용의 중심에 배치한다. 이것은 식민지 수용에 얽매여 있고 국제통화기금, 세계은행, 그리고 다른 대리 기관들이 물, 씨앗, 우리의 유전 코드에 이르기까지 공통으로 갖고 있는 모든 것들이 새로운 양으로 사유화되는 원시 축적의 새로운 순환에 관여하고 있음을 이해하는 틀을 제공한다. 울타리 둘레
