«Revolution at Point Zero: Housework, Reproduction, and Feminist Struggle»: Silvia Federici
Film of the Public Lecture by Silvia Federici about her new book: Revolution at Point Zero: Housework, Reproduction, and Feminist Struggle (PM Press, 2012)
Presented by Bristol Radical History Group
http://www.brh.org.uk/
Written between 1974 and the present, Revolution at Point Zero collects forty years of research and theorizing on the nature of housework, social reproduction, and women’s struggles on this terrain—to escape it, to better its conditions, to reconstruct it in ways that provide an alternative to capitalist relations. In this talk Silvia outlines the ideas within this book in a clear and lucid way. Indeed, as Federici reveals, behind the capitalist organization of work and the contradictions inherent in «alienated labor» is an explosive ground zero for revolutionary practice upon which are decided the daily realities of our collective reproduction. Beginning with Federici’s organizational work in the Wages for Housework movement, the essays collected here unravel the power and politics of wide but related issues including the international restructuring of reproductive work and its effects on the sexual division of labor, the globalization of care work and sex work, the crisis of elder care, the development of affective labor, and the politics of the commons.
Rosa Luxemburg (Margarethe von Trotta, 1986)
Sinopsis: Con gran rigor histórico, narra un retrato de la líder socialista Rosa Luxemburg, desde fines del siglo XIX hasta su muerte en 1919. El guión de cuatro partes y un prólogo presenta a Rosa durante prisión en Wronke, en 1917. La primera parte retrocede a fines del siglo pasado y comienzos del actual. Rosa Luxemburgo se halla al principio de su carrera como periodista de cuestiones políticas y militante del partido socialista. Más que el éxito profesional, desea ser una mujer al lado de Leo Jogiches, su amante y compañero de lucha. Luego de una breve estadía en Varsovia, adonde acude Rosa para prestar su apoyo a la primera Revolución Rusa, se ve detenida y encarcelada por este motivo, hasta que los compañeros del Partido Socialista alemán obtienen su rescate. En 1906, regresa a Berlín. A partir de ese momento, su historia es narrada en forma cronológica hasta su muerte en enero de 1919. Estas informaciones históricas acerca de la revolucionaria Rosa Luxemburgo constituyen una parte importante en el film. Pero igual importancia posee la descripción del mundo de esta mujer.

«Estranhamento e Exploração: A Ontologia de Marx nos Grundrisse»: Mario Duayer
Mario Duayer foi um dos tradutores dos Grundrisse de Marx direto do original em alemão para o português, agora publicado pela editora Boitempo. Como parte do lançamento do livro, Duayer foi convidado a discutir esta importante obra escrita entre os anos de 1857 e 1858, mas que veio a público somente no século XX. Entre os temas discutidos, Duayer colocou especial ênfase na subordinação, no pensamento de Marx nos Grundrisse, da exploração ao estranhamento social. Exploramos uns aos outros porque em primeiro lugar nos estranhamos socialmente. É a alienação como sociabilidade que permite a existência da exploração. A ontologia de Marx, portanto, não é somente uma ode ao fim da exploração, mas propriamente ao fim do estranhamento ou da alienação, ou do outro que me é externo e indiferente. Duayer aproveita também para comentar o relativismo ontológico de Thomas Khun sobre a co-existência de diferentes paradigmas, e mostra como as ideias de Marx, Lúckacs, Roy Bhaskar e Moishe Postone oferecem uma visão que contrasta com os recentes avanços de epistemologias pós-modernas.
«Finance, crisis and the left alternatives»: Alfredo Saad-Filho
Alfredo Saad-Filho, Dept. Head of Development studies at the University of London, England, says that we have a situation of malfunction, but there is not the political will to replace capitalism. In his recent talk in Vancouver, He says that he wants to see people claim the right to a different future. He says it is inconceivable that people will accept all the inequalities, the difficulties, the crisis and the waste that we have today. He also says that there is more than enough to satisfy everyone needs globally: Today there is no need or reason why people starve in different parts of the world (October-2010)
