description
Literary Nonfiction. "Caliban and the Witch" is a history of the body in the transition to capitalism. Moving from the peasant revolts of the late Middle Ages to the witch-hunts and the rise of mechanical philosophy, Federici investigates the capitalist rationalization of social reproduction. She shows how the battle against the rebel body and the conflict between body and mind are essential conditions for the development of labor power and self-ownership, two central principles of modern social organization.
"It is both a passionate work of memory recovered and a hammer of humanity's agenda." Peter Linebaugh, author of "The London Hanged"

De la emancipación de la servidumbre a las herejías subversivas, un hilo rojo recorre la historia de la transición del feudalismo al capitalismo. Todavía hoy expurgado de la gran mayoría de los manuales de historia, la imposición de los poderes del Estado y el nacimiento de esa formación social que acabaría por tomar el nombre de capitalismo no se produjeron sin el recurso a la violencia extrema.
La acumulación originaria exigió la derrota de los movimientos urbanos y campesinos, que normalmente bajo la forma de herejía religiosa reivindicaron y pusieron en práctica diversos experimentos de vida comunal y reparto de riqueza. Su aniquilación abrió el camino a la formación del Estado moderno, la expropiación y cercado de las tierras comunes, la conquista y el expolio de América, la apertura del comercio de esclavos a gran escala y una guerra contra las formas de vida y las culturas populares que tomó a las mujeres como su principal objetivo.
Al analizar la quema de brujas, Federici no sólo desentraña uno de los episodios más inefables de la historia moderna, sino el corazón de una poderosa dinámica de expropiación social dirigida sobre el cuerpo, los saberes y la reproducción de las mujeres. Esta obra es también el registro de unas voces imprevistas (las de los subalternos: Calibán y la bruja) que todavía hoy resuenan con fuerza en las luchas que resisten a la continua actualización de la violencia originaria.
