Podcasts about marxist feminist

This week Dr. Nathan Kalman-Lamb and Dr. Derek Silva drop in to talk about 1993's The Program, starring James Caan, Omar Epps, and Halle Berry. This movie was way ahead of its time in its discussions of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL), concussions, and race and sexual dynamics on campus. We talk about all of this and the cost to college athletes to play the game. About our guests:Nathan Kalman-Lamb's  scholarly work sits at the intersection of social theory and the sociology of sport, with a particular focus on labor, racism, and exploitation. His most recent book Game Misconduct: Injury, Fandom, and the Business of Sport, based on qualitative interviews with former professional hockey players and fans of the sport, uses Marxist-Feminist social reproduction theory to explore how the political economy of sports like hockey is predicated on an affective transfer from athletic workers to fans through the physical sacrifice that is fundamental to these 'games.'Derek Silva's areas of interest include sociocultural studies of sport, critical sociology and criminology, labour, racism, and inequality. My work can be found in the peer-reviewed journals Critical Sociology, Punishment and Society, Crime, Media, Culture, Sociology of Sport Journal, Journal of Sport & Social Issues, Policing & Society, Annals of Leisure Research, Social Science & Medicine – Qualitative Research in Health, Sociological Forum, Race & Class, Educational Gerontology, and in media outlets such as TIME Magazine, Los Angeles Times, The Guardian, The Daily Beast, The Chronicle of Higher Education, ​Jacobin Magazine, and The Baffler Magazine.

Jules Louise was same-sex attracted, but more importantly she wanted to be a Good Person and “safe space for others” — so wound up married to a man. How did that happen? In this nuanced, heartfelt, and open conversation, Jules recalls her indoctrination into an ideology which destabilized her understanding of the world and herself, and her later emergence, along with that of her husband, detransitioned autogynephile Ray Alex Williams. We discuss Social Justice Camp, the Five Isms, hormones, polyamory, crossdressing vs dressing in crosses, internalized homophobia, Marxist Feminist analysis, the importance of material reality, phenomena, reconceptualizing vulnerability, and leaving the cult of gender for the cult of Taylor Swift. Plus: Cori correctly guesses the sex of a “they,” Nina is a cruel and horrible person who will never be invited to dinner at some people's houses, and a proposed TERF-Tranny Christmas in July!    Links: Our Ray Alex Williams episode: https://www.heterodorx.com/podcast/episode-121-unblinded-by-the-light-with-ray-alex-williams/ Gender: A Wider Lens: https://www.widerlenspod.com/ Phenomena: https://youtu.be/Dnk0Be4a0aw?si=n-Q4Au7QE8_i1eqy Our Jamie Reed episode: https://www.heterodorx.com/podcast/episode-126-mitigating-the-damage-with-jamie-reed/ Nina's Sex-Pozzie Memoirs: https://4w.pub/sex-pos-memoirs/ The Man Who Would Be Queen by Michael Bailey (free PDF): https://faculty.wcas.northwestern.edu/JMichael-Bailey/TMWWBQ.pdf Caliban and the Witch by Silvia Federici: https://www.akpress.org/calibanandthewitch.html The Lesbian Heresy: a Feminist Perspective by Sheila Jeffreys: https://sheila-jeffreys.com/book/the-lesbian-heresy-a-feminist-perspective/ For more information about RISE on The Land for WOMEN, email Char at riseontheland2020s@gmail.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/heterodorx/support

The Marxist-Feminist theory suffered badly from a reality check.

¡Mike Davis, presente! Three longtime allies of Mike Davis (1946–2022) will discuss the life and legacy of the author, geologist, historian, and organizer—and the inspiration we take from his life and work for the struggles ahead. Speakers: Angela Y. Davis is Distinguished Professor Emerita in the History of Consciousness and Feminist Studies Departments at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Dr. Davis grew up in Birmingham, Alabama, and has been an activist and Marxist-Feminist in the Black Power and abolitionist movements since the late 1960s. In the 1980s, her book Women, Race and Class helped to establish the concept of intersectionality. She also helped to develop the concept of prison abolition, especially in her books Are Prisons Obsolete? and Abolition Democracy: Beyond Prisons, Torture, and Empire. Recently, Dr. Davis has written about the international movement in solidarity with Palestine in Freedom Is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson, Palestine, and the Foundations of a Movement. Her work helped to lay the theoretical groundwork for the #DefundthePolice movement. Davis's memoir was recently published in a new edition by Haymarket Books. Geri Silva, who was born and raised in Los Angeles, has spent the past 40 years in all forms of struggle for human, political, and economic rights. Her activity covers the span from immigration rights to welfare rights to the right to decent housing for all in need. For the past 20-plus years she has fought against the rampant and ongoing abuses in the courts and at the hands of the police. Silva is a founding member of Mothers Reclaiming Our Children (Mothers ROC) in 1992, Families to Amend California's Three Strikes (FACTS) in 1996, Fair Chance Project (FCP) in 2009, California Families Against Solitary Confinement (CFASC) in 2011, and FUEL—Families United to End LWOP (Life Without Parole) in 2017. Ruth Wilson Gilmore is Professor of Earth & Environmental Sciences and Director of the Center for Place, Culture, and Politics at the City University of New York Graduate Center. Co-founder of many grassroots organizations including the California Prison Moratorium Project, Critical Resistance, and the Central California Environmental Justice Network, Gilmore is author of the prize-winning Golden Gulag: Prisons, Surplus, Crisis, and Opposition in Globalizing California (UC Press). Recent publications include “Beyond Bratton” (Policing the Planet, Camp and Heatherton, eds., Verso); “Abolition Geography and the Problem of Innocence” (Futures of Black Radicalism, Lubin and Johnson, eds., Verso); a foreword to Bobby M. Wilson's Birmingham classic America's Johannesburg (U Georgia Press); a foreword to Cedric J. Robinson on Racial Capitalism, Black Internationalism, and Cultures of Resistance (HLT Quan, ed., Pluto); Abolition Geography: Essays Toward Liberation (Verso), and, co-edited with Paul Gilroy, Stuart Hall: Selected Writings on Race and Difference (Duke). Forthcoming projects include Change Everything: Racial Capitalism and the Case for Abolition (Haymarket). Gilmore has lectured in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America. In April 2019 novelist Rachel Kushner profiled Gilmore in The New York Times Magazine. Recent honors include the SUNY-Purchase College Eugene V. Grant Distinguished Scholar Prize for Social and Environmental Justice (2015-16); the American Studies Association Richard A Yarborough Mentorship Award (2017); The Association of American Geographers Lifetime Achievement Award (2020); and election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2021).

Join 2020 Lannan Prize recipients Angela Y. Davis, Mike Davis, and Ruth Wilson Gilmore for a conversation hosted by Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor. The Lannan Cultural Freedom Prize for 2020 was awarded to Angela Y. Davis for her lifetime achievements as a public intellectual advocating for racial, gender, and economic justice; to Mike Davis for his life's work as a public intellectual who encourages critical analysis of society in the service of constructing an alternative, post-capitalist future in both theory and practice; and Ruth Wilson Gilmore for a lifetime of achievement as a public intellectual working toward the decarceration of California, the United States, and the world. Join all three, along with Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor for a conversation on abolition, cultural freedom, and liberation. Speakers: Mike Davis, professor emeritus of creative writing at UC Riverside, joined the San Diego chapter of the Congress of Racial Equality in 1962 at age 16 and the struggle for racial and social equality has remained the lodestar of his life. His City of Quartz challenged reigning celebrations of Los Angeles from the perspectives of its lost radical past and insurrectionary future. His wide-ranging work has married science, archival research, personal experience, and creative writing with razor-sharp critiques of empires and ruling classes. He embodies the Lannan vision of working at the intersection of art and social justice. Angela Y.

Happy Women's History Month! In collaboration with Women's History Month Kingston, we bring the discussion of Silvia Federici's Caliban and the Witch to a close this week, diving into Chapter 5, "Colonization and Christianization." We went way off text, but had a very meaningful (to me) discussion about some vitally important topics. Sassafras has copies of the book if you want to read and revisit this in more detail. Let us know if you do. We can keep the conversation going...Here's Carolita's event, Goodbye to All That Book Re-Launch + Virtual Celebration, happening on April 13, 2021.And here's the link to Rakel's art show, opening May 8, 2021, "(s)mother 2.0 care in (a time of) crisis.And here's New York Caring Majority. Show them some love, get involved/donate, if you want to be a part of the change towards a more equitable and compassionate world. Their work is an integral part of the solution!Rakel Stammer is an artist and teacher who primarily works in painting and drawing, but also dabbles in sound, installation, collage, writing, photography, printmaking and performance. Her work has been published in several magazines, anthologies and journals across the world and she has exhibited in Denmark, Sweden and the U.S. She was on the show before, pre-COVID in October 2019, talking about her series “The C%#& (C-word) Drawings” completed during a residency at Deer Creek Collective. Rakel speaks publicly and writes about capitalism, art, trauma, dominance and violence, seen through an anti-capitalist, intersectional feminist lens!Carolita Johnson is a cartoonist (The New Yorker magazine) and illustrator from NYC. She spent 13 years in Paris, France, after graduating from Parson's School of Design with a degree in Fashion Design. In Paris, she earned a masters degree in Modern Letters and Linguistics, and got some (admittedly very idiosyncratic) chops in pre-doctoral Medieval Anthropology, which turned out to be her gateway drug to cartoons and illustration. She is also a writer, has appeared on HBO and NPR, performed in various esteemed settings, is an alumnus of the O+ Festival, and most recently added teaching via SUNY New Paltz to her list of accomplishments.See you on MOON-days starting in April!!!Today's show was engineered by Nick Panken, host of Freedom Highway, AND produced, hosted, and edited by ME, Theresa, so please forgive any hiccups.Our show music is from Shana Falana !!!Feel free to email me, say hello: she@iwantwhatshehas.org** Please: SUBSCRIBE to the pod and leave a REVIEW wherever you are listening, it helps other users FIND IThttp://iwantwhatshehas.org/podcastITUNES | SPOTIFY | STITCHERITUNES: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/i-want-what-she-has/id1451648361?mt=2SPOTIFY:https://open.spotify.com/show/77pmJwS2q9vTywz7Uhiyff?si=G2eYCjLjT3KltgdfA6XXCASTITCHER: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/she-wants/i-want-what-she-has?refid=stpr'Follow:INSTAGRAM * https://www.instagram.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast/FACEBOOK * https://www.facebook.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcastTWITTER * https://twitter.com/wantwhatshehas

Jonathan Martineau: Algorithmic Capitalism and Social Reproduction: An Exploration The advent of Algorithmic Capitalism has reconfigured capital and labor relations, but also social reproduction. Since studies of the algorithmization of housework are very scarce thus far from a social reproduction perspective, this paper seeks to start a conversation by inquiring into two aspects of this new reality : Smart home technologies, and the population of the household by connected goods. The paper (i) proposes a periodization of three periods of domestic labor (industrial, neoliberal, algorithmic), (ii) inquires into the dialectics of the algorithmic subsumption of domestic work, (iii) examines the commodification of domestic work and the imperative for "domestic data" extraction, and (iv) explores the reconfiguration of affective labor within the household by IA domestic assistant technologies. Sue Ferguson: Social Reproduction Theory: New Challenges With both Covid-19 and the BLM-led uprising in the US dramatically reshaping the current moment, SRT confronts new (and some old) challenges. In this talk I survey questions that the period poses about value, resistance, the state, violence, debt and racism. My hope is to invite a conversation about the gaps within the social reproduction tradition, and openings for addressing the pressing political issues of the day. Hester Eisensten: From Patriarchy to Social Reproduction: Some Theoretical Questions In the early days of 20th century Marxist-Feminist theorizing (in the 1970s) the debate centered on whether patriarchy and capitalism were two separate systems (dual systems theory; cf. Iris Marion Young) or whether they were a unified system (cf. Lise Vogel). In the current era I argue that patriarchy has been in part subsumed under the Social Reproduction Theory framework (cf. Tithi Bhattacharya and Cinzia Arruzza). Yet in an era where international feminist organizing has been called the cutting edge of revolution against capitalism and imperialism, patriarchal norms still threaten women individually and as a group with murder, rape, and annihilation. How do we theorize these manifestations of patriarchal violence as part of or in relation to SRT?

First published in 1983, Lise Vogel's Marxism and the Oppression of Women - toward a unitary theory  is regarded as one of the founding texts of Marxist Feminism.  It has now been relaunched, and Pod Academy was at the relaunch. Lisa Vogel was joined on the platform by Dr Tithi Battacharya, Purdue Liberal Arts University, in US, Dr Sue Ferguson, Laurier Brantford University in Canada  and Kate Davison, Melbourne University Tithi Battacharya said she had first read the book in the early 1990s, when 'Marxism was not common parlance in academia', and she kept going back to it for several reasons.  Firstly, it was a book that was explanatory rather than descriptive.  To her, Lise Vogel's book was one of the clearest explanatory texts to speak of the relationship between the capitalist system as a whole and the oppression of women. Secondly, Battacharya said the word 'unitary' had resonance for her - it countered the growing view at the time that patriarchy was a system of oppression that was independent of capitalism -  the view that there was capitalism, and then there was racism and sexism etc.  Vogel's book uses the word 'unitary' to reject this notion of autonomous tracks of social relations, Vogel asserts that capitalism is a unitary system and we need to explain it.  She also suggested that 'unitary' was a fantastic word to use in an age of the celebration of 'the fragment', 'the cult of the particular' [see also our podcast on Beyond the Fragments here]. In that age the book brought thinking back to a unitary way of thinking. Tithi Battacharya said that Lise Vogel restored to prominence the role of the family within the system as a whole. The book explored why the family is a source of oppression within its role in capitalism.  It theorised the role of the family in capitalism, at the level of production, rather than simply at the level of exchange. Vogel, she said, takes some of Marx's insights in Capital, and builds on them, exploring the gaps and silences. She looks at what labour power is, how it is regenerated, and what it means to labour under capitalism. Thirdly, in Tithi Battacharya's view, this thinking is of strategic importance because it looked outside the workplace.  This is particularly important, she said, now that 40 years of neoliberalism has denuded the labour movement.  She suggests we will see much struggle starting outside the workplace (such as that in Ferguson), and to misunderstand these struggles as not class struggle would be a strategic error for this generation of the left. Next up was Kate Davison who started by saying she had felt star struck when she realised who else would be on the panel, 'But', she added to laughter, 'I dealt with it!'  Quoting Sue Ferguson, she described the ideas put forward by Lise Vogel as 'The path not taken', and said that had they known, in the 1980s, about Vogel's work, feminists might have avoided 'much blood letting'.  At that time, she said, if you had been able to stick with the label 'socialist feminist' and brave the attacks from adherents of identity politics, you nevertheless often developed distrust of Leninism and by extension of Marxism altogether.  A small group turned towards socialism or anti-capitalist politics at the end of the 1990s, and undertook a re-evalutation of identity politics, eventually abandoning it in favour of the uniting power of the working class or the anti capitalist movement.  Kate said that she herself has dropped the 'feminist' from Marxist-Feminist when describing herself. She went on to say that the book is being re-published at a time of the re-emergence of struggles around sexual and gender based violence (eg the Slut Walks), sexism etc.  But many activists and revolutionary Marxists, she said, have little knowledge or understanding of these debates.  While some of the issues have come up around gay and lesbian issues (eg the campaign for equal marriage rights),
