Podcasts about primitive accumulation

For many people, work simply isn't working anymore. Wages have stagnated while the cost of living continues to rise. Endless hours in front of a screen leave us burnt out. More often than not, the labor we do feels disconnected from any real purpose. But what if there was another way? Imagine a future where small communities live in harmony with the land, and the work we do is rooted in care for each other, for the earth, and for ourselves. It may sound idealistic and overly simplistic, but isn't there something undeniably appealing about that vision?Today, we're thrilled to be speaking with Megan Leatherman, founder of A Wild New Work, a career development agency with a refreshing twist. Megan helps her clients uncover their passions and craft more fulfilling professional lives, while also guiding them to reconnect with nature, align with the rhythms of the seasons, and trust their own inner wisdom.In this conversation, we explore what's broken about our current work culture, how we arrived here, and how we might begin to cultivate meaningful, grounded lives in a world shaped by capitalism and social media.Show NotesA Wild New WorkA Wild New Work: The PodcastFollow A Wild New Work on InstagramCaliban and the Witch: Women, The Body, and Primitive Accumulation by Silvia FedericiComposting CapitalismRise Up RootedBiophilic Solutions We'd love to hear from you!Keywords: work, capitalism, history, nature, ancestors, modern work, change, feudalism, community, sustainability, organized labor, socialism, community, adulthood, land connection, cultural shifts, personal growth, nature, aliveness, uncertaintyBiophilic Solutions is available wherever you get podcasts.

That's right: Gerontophallocracy is back! The topic is a certain grandiose deadbeat manchild patriarch who has succeeded in making himself even more of a ubiquitous object of speculation than Donald Trump: Elon Musk. But instead of focusing on Elon's erratic behavior and personal symptoms, Abby, Patrick, and Dan tackle the question of Musk's existence and prominence as a symptom of underlying political economic and libidinal economic conditions. It's a tale of the Return of the (Barely) Repressed extending from religious myths to secular fictions and from the dawn of patriarchy and emergence of private property to the dream of a future where the scions of billionaires can plant their flags and dynasties on Mars.

This is a conversation about capitalism, and therefore about whiteness and supremacy culture. There is a bit of a record scratch moment when I say something that sounds pretty obliviously white, then correct myself. I like to leave the mistakes in because it's good reconditioning from perfectionism/whiteness. Enjoy! Sophie Macklin is an anarchist mystic who lived in California for fifteen years but recently returned home to England. She practises brythonic polytheism, antifascism, and devotion to an animate world, and specializes in topics related to radical history, anti-capitalism, antifascism, reclaiming the commons, anti-ableism, and exploring different ways of knowing. She's an educator whose work has deeply impacted my own. I've invited Sophie back to the show to talk about capitalism and its accompanying attitudes around productivity, disability, and land use. In this episode, we're talking about a period of history in England when we saw the end of access to common lands to the system of private property and land ownership which we now think of as normal.

Guest artist SUSAN SCHUPPLI joins art critic and author ELIZABETH FULLERTON to discuss her art practice via 'The Second Body' 2017 by Daisy Hildyard, published by Fitzcarraldo Books. Listed by the 'White Review' on their Books of the Year 2018, the essay presents the dissolving boundaries between all life on earth, with an updated dualism between the animal bodies in which we eat, breathe, and sleep and the virtual bodies of our global connections and environmental impacts. Susan and Elizabeth discuss dissolving boundaries, plausible deniability, beached whales, deep time, gathering poems, chattering glaciers, foetus ownership, critical proximity, living on ice, images creating barriers, Princess Diana's wedding dress, bodies eating distance, and changing paradigms. Plus, they question where environmental knowledge resides and which modes of representation might inspire action.   SUSAN SCHUPPLI susanschuppli.com @susan_schuppli 'Cruel Radiance' Backlight Festival, Finland  - June 2023 Art & Industry Triennial, Dunkerque France - June 2023 'Re/Sisters', Barbican London 5 Oct 2023 - 14 Jan 2024 LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial, Spain    'Material Witness' 'Can the Sun Lie'  'Cold Rights' 'Freezing Deaths' 'Weaponising Water' 'Icebox Detentions' 'Listening to the Ice' 2023   EVENTS   'Earthrise' is a photograph of Earth and some of the Moon 's surface that was taken from lunar orbit by astronaut William Anders on 24 December 24 1968 during the Apollo 8 mission.   Ultrasound was first used for clinical purposes in mid 1950s but not used widely in British and American hospitals till 1970s for foetus imaging.

Episode #65 of the Ground Shots Podcast is a conversation with Dave Meesters and Janet Kent of the Terra Sylva School of Botanical Medicine out of Madison County, North Carolina. https://www.ofsedgeandsalt.com/podcastblog/terrasylvaschool After trying to get together for a conversation all summer, we finally met up in the early fall at Dave and Janet's herbalism school classroom at the Marshall High Studios, in Marshall, North Carolina. It was a frigid fall day and when I arrived, they had tea going and snacks out on a table in their beautifully lit and decorated studio space. It was obviously curated and inhabited by herbalists. Dave and Janet run the Terra Sylva School of Botanical Medicine with Jen Stovall, and have a clinical herbalism practice in the rural area where they live and the nearby city of Asheville, NC. Dave Meesters grew up in Miami, Florida and attended college at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He moved to Asheville, North Carolina in the winter of 1998. In 2003, his formal herbal training began with an apprenticeship with CoreyPine Shane at the Blue Ridge School of Herbal Medicine, and since then his experience has included organizing and staffing a free clinic in New Orleans in the months after hurricane Katrina, and starting and practicing at a free clinic in Asheville's homeless day shelter. Dave has plans to be involved with another herbal free or low-cost clinic in the future, but until then he sees clients privately and provides care to the mountain folks in his rural Appalachian neighborhood, most of whom would rather see an herbalist than a doctor. From 2013 to 2016, Dave was, with Janet, the director and primary instructor at the Terra Sylva School's summer apprenticeship program, which was held on the communal mountain land where he resides before the school moved to Marshall. He and Janet are the founders of Medicine County Herbs, an herb apothecary, medicinal plant nursery, and blog. Dave sees herbalism as a way to provide a more appropriate, accessible, pleasurable, and effective form of health care than the dominant model, and as a means to bond and integrate ourselves with plants, the garden, and the wilds. His herbalism is wedded to a life-long resistance to the forces of domination and alienation, especially domination of and alienation from Nature. His practice and his teaching reflect a deep evolving holism attained by listening to, honoring, embracing, and collaborating with the whole of Nature, and by his study of the threads connecting holistic physiology, energetics, ecology, gardening, systems theory, magic, alchemy and permaculture.   Janet Kent is a clinical and community herbalist, educator, gardener and writer. The child of two naturalists, Janet grew up in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains, learning the amazing diversity of regional wild flowers at an early age. She began studying the medicinal uses of plants when she moved to a rich Appalachian cove high in the mountains of Madison county, North Carolina fifteen years ago. She did not set out to become an herbalist, but as she learned over the years in her forest home, if we are open, we do not change the land we inhabit as much as it changes us. The transformative healing power of the plants around her turned an interest into a calling. The vast power to heal through reconnection is the medicine she most seeks to share. Whenever possible, she encourages her students and clients to grow their own herbs, to make their own medicine, and most of all, to experience the more-than-human world first hand. Here is where deep, foundational healing is most profound. Janet views herbal medicine as a means of reconnecting to the long tradition of plant medicine in rural Appalachia. This tradition has become more relevant with the ailing state of the dominant health care system and the rising cost of herbal medicine. Janet considers herbalism the best option for addressing injustice in health care. Herbalists, being outside the biomedical system, can avoid its inequalities. Affordable care, medicine and education are central to this paradigm. In addition to being co-founder and a core faculty member at the Terra Sylva School of Botanical Medicine, Janet also runs a medicinal and native plant nursery, apothecary and blog, Medicine County Herbs with Dave. Terra Sylva combines the experience of herbalists who've done their work in very different regions: rural Appalachia and the city of New Orleans. Dave Meesters and Janet Kent founded and run Medicine County Herbs in the mountains of North Carolina and publish the Radical Vitalism blog, while Jen Stovall is one of the herbalists behind the Crescent City's Maypop Community Herb Shop. Despite the geographical separation, this team have been partners in herbalism for over a decade, going back to the first herb classes Jen & Dave taught together in New Orleans in 2004. The Terra Sylva School fulfills a dream we've nurtured for a long time, to meld our diverse strengths and perspectives to create a comprehensive, dynamic program well-suited to equip and inspire the next generation of herbalists to practice in the 21st century. Our teaching reflects both Janet & Dave's land-based herbalism practiced in a rural setting and Jen's experience caring for folks in the big city.   In this conversation with Dave and Janet, we talk about:   some of the culture of the holler Dave and Janet live in deep in southern Appalachia pros and cons of living remotely in Appalachia how herbalism tied them to the land they live on and kept them there when other folks involved in the land project didn't stay teaching herbalism online vs. in person the magic of tuning into one small piece of land year after year Dave and Janet's wild-tending and land-tending work over 20 years in Madison county the problem with human misanthropy in punk culture or the ‘humans suck' mentality the importance of human tending on land and Appalachia specifically the effects of capitalism on wild harvest of medicinal plants and the complex nuances of this, and effects Michael Moore's books and teachings had on wild plant populations like Yerba Mansa we geek out on Pedicularis as an example of a plant that is tricky to wildcraft because of its inability to be cultivated some of Dave and Janet's views on ‘invasive plants' and land-tending and the responsibility of human engagement why it is important to ask where the garden begins and ends? how land-tending and restoration can't be about going back to a past that is impossible to recreate due to loss of topsoil and keystone species (think Chestnuts in the east) but about working with a compass of creating diversity and resilience in a rapidly changing world, tending to baselines of the past and ever-shifting baselines of present What can disempowering the engines of disruption with other disruption look like? some thoughts on changes in ‘western' herbalism from a focus on the individual to a focus on the collective and cultural mending using ‘biomedicine' vs. ‘allopathic' to describe mainstream western medicine and some history around the use of these words Dave and Janet's podcast ‘The Book on Fire,' what it focuses on and why they facilitate it we do a mini overview of the book ‘The Caliban and the Witch,' a book they review and deconstruct on their podcast (book linked in Link list below)   Links: Terra Sylva School of Botanical Medicine Radical Vitalism essay by Janet and Dave on their underlying philosophy To Fulfill the Promise of Herbalism Dave's piece on the power and potential for grassroots herbalism Uncontrollable Night: Herbs for Grief Janet's piece on working with herbs to ease the phases of grief The Book on Fire podcast “The Caliban and the Witch: Women, the Body and Primitive Accumulation” book by Silvia Federici mentioned on the podcast, reviewed in detail by Dave and Janet on their podcast ‘The Book on Fire' “Rambunctious Garden: Saving Nature in a Post-Wild World” by Emma Marris, briefly mentioned in the podcast, also mentioned in GSP Episode #53 :  Wild Tending Series / Gabe and Kelly on ecological history, anthropogenic landscapes and the negative side of conservation Mountain Gardens, a regional Appalachian botanical sanctuary run by Joe Hollis mentioned on the podcast Mountain Gardens Youtube Channel, mentioned on the podcast Donna Haraway “Staying with the Trouble”, mentioned in the podcast, a book Dave and Janet review on their podcast ‘The Book on Fire'       Support the podcast on Patreon to contribute monthly to our grassroots self-funding of this project  For one time donations to support this podcast: Paypal : paypal.me/petitfawn VENMO: @kelly-moody-6 Cashapp: cash.app/$groundshotsproject   Our website with an archive of podcast episodes, educational resources, past travelogues and more: http://www.ofsedgeandsalt.com  Our Instagram pages: @goldenberries / @groundshotspodcast Join the Ground Shots Podcast Facebook Group to discuss the episodes Subscribe to our newsletter for updates on the Ground Shots Project Theme music: 'Sweat and Splinters' by Mother Marrow Guest music: Little Wind and Sea by Village of Spaces This episode hosted by: Kelly Moody Produced by: Kelly Moody

and we're back after a one week hiatus! in this episode, Luke and Eleanor begin by discussing some of the more controversial modes of production that have been proposed, then move back into the early Middle Ages to discuss how the concept of Divine Right of Kings became entangled with modern state formation and the earliest instances of primitive accumulation of capital before it became a driving force later during the Age of Exploration.

“Historians point to the year 1648 as a watershed moment in the development of religious tolerance in Europe. In that year, the Peace of Westphalia brought an end to the Thirty Year's War—one of Europe's grimmest chapters of religiously-inflected violence…”So begins today's story from Dr. Sky Michael Johnston.For further reading:Michael Warren Murphy, “‘No Beggars amongst Them': Primitive Accumulation, Settler Colonialism, and the Dispossession of Narragansett Indian Land,” Humanity & Society 42 (2018).John M.

We're about to take a long voyage into German steel production through the lens of Krupp Steel, from 1587 into the 1960s. You're going to learn so much about German heavy industry, but I promise it's not boring. It's all about Essen, Germany, and this episode is about the start of the Krupp family, the way they made their early fortune, their actions in the Napoleonic era, and the race to figure out how to make cast steel. We meet Friedrich Carl, who almost ruins the family forge, and his son Alfred Krupp, who figures out how to make cast steel. There's industrial espionage, Austrian bribery, and even the revolutions of 1848.

It has long been argued that the enclosure of land in England facilitated the agricultural and industrial revolutions that transformed Britain into a modern capitalist state. Yet the connections between land enclosures within England and the English-led colonial enclosures that were taking place at the same time have been less explored. This session examines connections between the enclosure of land and people within England and within the colonial world (from the 16th century). In contrast to nation-bound understandings of English capitalist modernity, which focus on land enclosures, the Industrial revolution, and the formation of a new class society within England, this session is concerned with English colonial enclosures on a global scale, and with understanding Britain as an Imperial State, whose multiracial class society was forged through Empire.

Hi my dearest witches, welcome to summer!Happiest Summer Solstice to all.  I hope the long days are full of hope and light and lots of good things. In this episode, cool little brother Reed and I join forces to explore the transformation of the word gossip from one of joy and emotion to a weapon.

In this episode I sit down with Artist, Teacher, Coach and Women's Empowerment Advocate, Sylvia Becker-Hill to talk about the shift away from patriarchy and towards a new paradigm where justice, human and other than human life, kindness, and a whole and healthy planet are all honored and taken into considering every step of the way.Sylvia shares her reflections on the archetypal transformation from some of the more negative aspects of the warrior archetype to that of the  'Artist' or creative. This shift has great potential on both the personal and transpersonal level. Sylvia also expresses the importance of honoring the parts of our current paradigm that have been useful, and not 'throwing everything out' or trying to revert back to ancient matriarchal structures that also had their own power imbalances. Sylvia believes we should instead glean what has been valuable from both paradigms and take these forward with us into the next place we are collectively journeying toward and co-creating.Sylvia's BioI believe creativity is your birthright and suppressed creativity leads to in-authenticity, depression and sickness. After decades of channeling my creativity through my corporate clients to empower their success, I finally found my way back home to the artist I always was.I graduated successfully from the Color of Women Certified Art Teacher training with Shiloh Sophia, founder of the MUSEA global art movement. Intentional Creativity is for me self healing, self liberation and self empowerment.

Hi my dearest witches, welcome to December. As the darkest day of the year and Yule celebrations draw ever-closer, Reed and I aim to wrap-up our three-part series on the Witch Trials of the Early Modern Period in Europe with this episode.And I get a *little* unhinged about capitalism. In this episode, join us for scholarly interpretations of the 'why' of these horrific witch trials, and alongside our attempts at sense-making Reed and I get into the 'what now' and 'why it matters.' It is dark, and painful, and liberating as all get out. And holy hell do I love the word posit. Woof.

Lovely to have Timothy on the show. Quite fittingly, there was a really nice narrative thread running through our chat linking British Romanticism, cognitive dissonance and negative capability, favourite books, the impact of the internet on narrative in works of fiction, and Timothy's upcoming literature study course built around the theme of the sea. I had never heard of the concept of negative capability before and so I was fascinated to learn about it. Likewise, I also enjoyed learning about British Romanticism, even though I'm English I didn't know that much about the movement. Timothy Wilcox has a Ph.D. in English from Stony Brook University, where he taught literature for five years. He studies British Romanticism, digital literature, and imagination. Timothy's new course 'Literature at Sea: A Brief History of Existence' is available here. Registration closes on 9 November 2020 in advance of the first reading and discussion on 14th November: https://hyperlink.academy/discount?discount=9f6cd281-f93a-402b-b0bc-f5e3fc497651 Timothy's Twitter: https://twitter.com/PreCursorPoets Timothy's Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0qk9W4w-6hLBiY18g4dElQ Timothy's webpage: https://www.precursorpoets.com/ Get Primitive!

I was delighted to have had David Gornoski with me for this episode of Primitive Accumulation, particularly as David was my first guest whom I did not know beforehand. I just emailed David out of the blue and he said yes. David was also very generous with his time, talking with me for nearly two hours. As a libertarian Christian, David draws on his Christian faith to advocate for non-violent solutions to social problems. For David, this means that just as Jesus did not use violence to convince people of the correct moral course of action, so too, modern society and political institutions should not resort to coercion to address social problems, no matter how worthy such courses of action might be. David is very much in favour of collective efforts to address inequality and other social issues, it's just that he believes they should be addressed through the actions of free individuals coming together themselves, rather than through the state apparatus, which he believes to be coercive. To this end, David is also very passionate about the abolition of prison sentences for victimless crimes. David's worldview is also underpinned by his reading of French Philosopher Rene Girard's concept of Mimesis, which is where society bonds itself together by casting out a scapegoat. David takes Girard's mimesis and argues that the modern state is also a manifestation of this scapegoating tendency in human society. Drawing on Girard, with the coming of Christ, David argues, this cycle of scapegoating can end, and true respect for the individual can begin. In general, David favours solutions to social problems developed by the plucky individual and sees states and giant corporations as crowding these opportunities out. As a democratic socialist, I tend to believe that redistributive progressive taxation coupled with large-scale state-sponsored projects are an important tool for reducing poverty and maximising opportunity in society. I also went to a Christian primary school and the two main messages I take from Christianity are a concern for the disadvantaged and the importance of forgiveness. I was therefore intrigued to learn about how David articulated his Christian concern for the disadvantaged outside of states and corporations. David and I had a very cordial chat and it was interesting to learn more about his worldview. David Gornoski is an entrepreneur, speaker, and writer. He is also the founder of a project called A Neighbor's Choice which seeks to introduce Jesus’ culture of nonviolence to both Christians and the broader public. A Neighbor's Choice is also the name of his weekly show on state violence and alternative solutions to it.

This time around, it was great to have with me Robin Amos to discuss the idea of Utopia. I’d met Robin through the indiethinkers.org forum and was intrigued to learn more about his conceptualisation of the future as an idea in itself. To begin, I asked Robin what I hope going forward will become “the Primitive Accumulation question”, which is: which two thoughts do you hold that contradict themselves the most? This kicked off an interesting discussion of the tension between liberty and security. We then moved on to the topic of utopia proper, including a contemplation of Oscar Wilde’s classic dictum that, “A map of the world without utopia is not worth looking at”; to past hopes and horrors brought about by the utopian ideologies of the 20th century; the immanent emancipatory potential of the US Constitution; Brexit as a Conservative utopian vision, and the failure of the Left to articulate a similarly compelling vision of the future. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/james-simpkin/message

This time we learn how the enclosure of the commons, the centralisation of the land and the privatisation of the product of agricultural production coerces us through threat of death to join the new industrial proletariat and how 'primitive accumulation' brings about colonialism, which in turn brings about imperialism. Join us for our final episode on Karl Marx's 'Capital - Volume I' where we discuss all of 'Section 8 - So Called Primitive Accumulation', containing: 'Chapter 26 - The Secret History of Primitive Accumulation', 'Chapter 27 - The Expropriation of the Agricultural Population from the Land', 'Chapter 28 - Bloody Legislation against the Expropriated since the End of the Fifteenth Century. The Forcing Down of Wages by Act of Parliament', Chapter 29 - The Genesis of the Capitalist Farmer', 'Chapter 30 - Impact of the Agricultural Revolution on Industry. The Creation of a Home Market for Industrial Capital', 'Chapter 31 - The Genesis of the Industrial Capitalist', 'Chapter 32 - The Historical Tendency of Capitalist Accumulation' and 'Chapter 33 - The Modern Theory of Colonization'.

Come for the court drama and stay for in-depth discussions of primitive accumulation and the question of whether using the word 'gay' to describe a 16th-century monarch makes any sense at all.  ----more---- Sources: Anderson, Perry. Lineages of the Absolutist State.

Maybe it's because back in Ye Olden Days witches were thought to have made pacts with the devil, but witchcraft and Satanism can often be conflated. We talk with Oakland's Woke Witch to clear up the misconceptions about modern witchcraft to see how it differs from – and intersects with – modern Satanism. While some of the lingo (magic? will? spells? meditation? ritual?) may be different, we find that for the most part, we're all striving to improve our lives and the lives of those around us.  Praise, condemnation, questions, and more trivia about Charles Entertainment Cheese can be sent to blackmassappealpod@gmail.com.   SHOW LINKS Chuck E Cheese animatronic creatures play Nine Inch Nails For Infernal Use Only: The Satanic Temple Amicably Settles Lawsuit Against Warner Brother & Netflix Newsweek: Number of Witches Rises Dramatically Across U.S. as Millenials Reject Christianity The New Yorker: The Many Faces of Women Who Identify as Witches Queen Hippie Gypsy shop in Oakland Queer Magic Makers fair in Oakland Caliban and the Witch: Women, the Body and Primitive Accumulation, by Silvia Federici The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, by Carl Sagan   Pheonix Love Armenta - The Woke Witch KALW: Walk with the “Woke Witch,” an Oakland herbalist who finds and teaches magic A Witches Walking Tour of Oakland Facebook page Woke Witch on Instagram   GET IN TOUCH WITH BLACK MASS APPEAL Facebook Twitter Instagram Patreon Tabitha Slander's Instagram Discord server   SATANIC BAY AREA Website Facebook Twitter (as @SatanicSF) Instagram Sign up for Satanic Bay Area's newsletter Coffee Hour is the second Thursday of every month from 6 - 8 pm at Wicked Grounds in San Francisco

Nyandligheten är tillbaka med besked. New age har blivit Now age. Men den kvinnligt präglade rörelsen passar alltför väl in i rådande samhällssystem, konstaterar Elin Grelsson Almestad. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Fullbokade spådamer i centrala Stockholm, kristaller som inredningsdetalj, inhyrda tarotläsare på fester. Numera går trendiga feminister på shamanska fullmåneceremonier och ägnar sig åt reikihealing. Nyandlighet, mystik och ockultism har blivit trendigt igen, driven av en ny generation av främst kvinnor. Våra mammor var kanske en del av New Age-rörelsen under 1990-talet, en våg av nyandlighet som innebar att begrepp som aura och healing etablerades i Sverige, samtidigt som så kallade alternativmedicinska metoder som homeopati växte sig starkare och yoga blev en vanligare träningsform. Möjligen var mödrarna också med på 1960- och 70-talen då den moderna, nyandliga miljön grundlades i och med hippierörelsen. Dess intresse för att blanda österländsk och västerländsk ockultism genom inslag av allt från astrologi och tarotkort till meditation är grunden till det vi vanligtvis förknippar med det något luddiga begreppet New Age idag. Inte sällan har New Age-feminismen i praktiken blivit en essentialistiskt inriktad särartsfeminism där kvinnans gudomlighet är kopplad till förmågan att bära och föda barn Begreppet New Age är dock passé och dagens rörelse något annat, om man får tro journalisten och författaren Ruby Warrington. Den nyandliga trend som sveper över västvärlden idag definierar hon i stället som Now Age. Warrington är den tidigare redaktören för The Sunday Times modemagasin som idag ägnar sig helhjärtat åt Now Age-rörelsen. I boken Material Girl Mystical World, som utkom 2017, berättar hon om sin resa från stressad karriärkvinna med en inneboende tomhet till att som hon själv uttrycker det hitta sin egen inre gudinna. Now Age är, enligt Warrington, till skillnad från den tidigare New Age-rörelsen en modern uppdatering av nyandlighet som inte ser en motsättning mellan en spirituell världsbild och intresse för mode. Warrington refererar något hånfullt till New Age-kvinnorna som klädda i lila kaftaner, med utvuxet armhår och frånkopplade det moderna samhället medan Now Age-anhängarna är trendiga, uppdaterade city-kvinnor med intresse för sociala medier. Det är personer som har framgångsrika karriärer bakom sig, karriärer som de nu helt eller delvis lämnat till förmån för så kallade spirituella resor och djupare värden i livet. För det är kvinnorna som framförallt ägnar sig åt den nyandliga trenden, något som den har gemensamt med sin föregångare. I religionshistorikern Olav Hammers bok På spaning efter helheten: New Age en ny folktro? från 1997 konstaterar han att kurser i olika New Age-relaterade fenomen främst besöks av kvinnor och förteckningarna över nyandligt orienterade terapeuter består av betydligt fler kvinnor än män. En viktig del i nyandligheten har varit just att lyfta fram det kvinnliga. New age var ett sätt att återvända till gudinnedyrkan, att i opposition till de patriarkala, abrahamitiska religionerna lyfta fram så kallade kvinnliga värden och understryka den kvinnliga kopplingen till naturen. Inte sällan har New Age-feminismen i praktiken blivit en essentialistiskt inriktad särartsfeminism där kvinnans gudomlighet är kopplad till förmågan att bära och föda barn och där det efterfrågas ett upphöjande av vad man ser som naturgivna, kvinnliga egenskaper såsom omvårdnad och intuitivt tänkande. I Now Age är den feministiska analysen något uppdaterad. Det talas fortfarande om kvinnliga egenskaper, men exempelvis Ruby Warrington menar att även män bör utveckla dessa och att det snarare handlar om att låta nedvärderade kvinnligt kodade egenskaper bli de förhärskande i världen. Det handlar inte om jämställdhet mellan biologiska män och kvinnor, utan ett helt nytt feminint paradigm, påpekar hon och konstaterar att Åt helvete med det patriarkala systemet som har bestämt att allt som har med spådom och intuition att göra inte har någon bäring i den riktiga världen. Här finns en tro på kvinnan som god i sig själv och framförallt en självuppfyllande profetia om vilka som förväntas intressera sig för nyandlighet. Spådom ses som kvinnligt, att tänka logiskt och rationellt ses som patriarkalt. Alltså är det kvinnor som i första hand välkomnas och söker sig till mystiken och andligheten. ...en delvis genomförd återförtrollning: en återförtrollning som sker på det avförtrollade, rationella samhällets premisser. Precis som i New Age hänvisar Now Age-rörelsen till förföljelsen av häxor, de kvinnor som århundraden tidigare utmanade makten. I Silvia Federicis samtida feministiska klassiker Caliban and the witch från 2004, återfinns en del liknande tankegångar som hos Warrington; häxan som utmanare av den härskande klassen och dess paradigm, maktens behov av att kontrollera kvinnan och hennes kropp. Men det finns en stor och avgörande skillnad mellan Warrington och Federici. Federici påpekar att anledningen till att tron på magi i lagom doser tillåts idag är att den inte längre utmanar någon maktordning. Vi är så pass disciplinerade i samhället att ett visst utrymme för ockultism och magiskt tänkande inte kommer att störa vårt sociala beteende. Eller som Federici uttrycker det: Även den mest hängivna konsumenten av astrologiska diagram kommer fortfarande att titta på klockan för att vara i tid till arbetet. Den tyske sociologen Max Weber pekade på hur tron på en gudomlig ordning i det moderna samhället övergick till en tro på bara ordning, där världen miste sin förtrollning och förklaringar på religiösa grunder underkändes. Såväl New Age som Now Age är vad Weber skulle kalla för en delvis genomförd återförtrollning: en återförtrollning som sker på det avförtrollade, rationella samhällets premisser. För Now Age omkullkastar ingen samhällsordning eller ifrågasätter kapitalismen, snarare har andlighet och förtrollning kapitaliserats. I Warringtons bok hymlas det definitivt inte med det och det problematiseras inte heller. Här återfinns kapitel med tips på hudvårdsmärken som välsignats av shamaner och kristaller som accessoar. Yoga, retreats och alternativa terapiformer har blivit stora industrier och nyandlighetens trendighet har fått människor med tillräckligt god ekonomi att lägga tusentals kronor på sina inre resor. Andlighet har blivit en produkt som konsumeras precis som andra varor. Samtidigt kan jag inte låta bli att glädjas över att mitt tonårsnördiga intresse för astrologi och mina skamfyllda tarotreadings plötsligt blivit allmänt accepterat, ja rentav trendigt. Min mystik-fascinerade ungdomshäxa i sitt rökelsefyllda flickrum har fått ett slags upprättelse, som jag delar med många andra kvinnor. Ändå läser jag Ruby Warringtons bok med en växande längtan efter den fula, otrendiga, ja rentav otrevliga häxan som lägger mer tid på att ifrågasätta makten än att hitta sina egna chakran. Hon som sätter något på spel, hos sig själv liksom i samhället. Eller som ett av plakaten i protesterna mot Polens hårdare abortlagar under våren 2018 löd: vi är barnbarnen till häxorna som ni aldrig lyckades bränna.

Silvia Federici, author of "Caliban and the Witch: Women, the Body and Primitive Accumulation," describes how the witch-hunts in medieval Europe was instrumental in the transition from the social and economic order of feudalism to the social and economic order we currently exist in today, capitalism. This is a segment of episode #106 of Last Born In The Wilderness "Caliban And The Witch: The Body In The Transition To Capitalism w/ Silvia Federici."

In this episode, Silvia Federici goes over many of the details and themes in her groundbreaking book "Caliban and the Witch: Women, the Body and Primitive Accumulation," an extensive history of the body in the transition to capitalism. Silvia discusses the conditions that lead to the witch-hunts in medieval Europe, and the lasting impact these events have had on the trajectory of capitalist development into the modern era. Silvia provides a description of the social and economic system, feudalism, that governed societies in medieval Europe and how the events and struggles that occurred during that time period led to the economic and social system, capitalism, we currently exist in today. "Caliban and the Witch" is an incredibly important and relevant work, and provides a much needed context of how capitalism did not merely emerge naturally out of feudalism, but was enacted piece by piece through systemic acts of state violence over hundreds of years against the landless, the poor, and in particular women. Silvia goes over the details of her work in this episode. Silvia Federici is a scholar, teacher, activist, and the author of numerous books, including "Caliban and the Witch: Women, the Body and Primitive Accumulation" and "Revolution at Point Zero: Housework, Reproduction, and Feminist Struggle." She is a professor emerita and Teaching Fellow at Hofstra University.

Silvia Federici is one of the most important political theorists alive today. Her landmark book Caliban and the Witch: Women, the Body, and Primitive Accumulation demonstrated the inextricable link between anti-capitalism and radical feminist politics by digging deep into the actual history of capital’s centuries-long attack on women and the body. She is an Italian-American scholar, teacher, and activist from the radical autonomist feminist Marxist tradition. She is a professor emerita and Teaching Fellow at Hofstra University, where she was a social science professor. She worked as a teacher in Nigeria for many years and is also the co-founder of the Committee for Academic Freedom in Africa.  Silvia joins Brett to discuss the main ideas of her very important and well known book, Caliban and the Witch.

Today we have been talking to Antonio Guistozzi about his new book The Art of Coercion: The Primitive Accumulation and Management of Coercive Power (Hurst, 2012). Antonio has written an analysis of how groups obtain and maintain their monopoly on violence in a community. This may not seem relevant to a podcast on terrorism and organized crime, however, insurgent, terrorist and criminal groups exist as challengers to the government’s monopoly. They use violence to oppose government, or in the case of organized crime, create their own centres of power. All these groups can also create havens where they exercise their own monopoly on violence. Antonio’s book is full of historical information and political scientific arguments which give a thorough explanation of the difficulties of creating and holding this monopoly. But, as you will hear in the interview, he has a particular interest in Afghanistan where he conducts most of his research. This experience provides him with an excellent contemporary case study to explain the theses of the book. Antonio tries to move away from the traditional explanations of violence based on economic theories of rational actors and instead explains the sociology of violence from empirical evidence and political necessity. This book changed my assumptions about the environment of political action especially in developing countries facing insurgent movements. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
