Offer some tentative analysis and suggestions as to the effects of neo-liberalism on contemporary reproductive labour in the home. <\/p>\n
Relates to materialist feminist and post colonial reading of the home. Materialist feminist critique of traditional and current Marxist theory about precarity and labour. Post colonial anyalsis of the \u2018gains\u2019 of women in the north. My point of departure is the contemporary home and that the possibility of new political alliances and modes of reproduction relies \u2013 to understand this space we need to consider<\/p>\n
–\tthe redress to Law \u2013 to rights
\n–\tcommodification of reproductive labour
\n–\temployment laws that relate to labour in the home
\n–\tmigration \/ immigration policies that effect workers in the home <\/p>\n
What do I mean by neo-liberalism \/ neo-liberal globalisation
\n–\tI understand the neo-liberal project to be about extending market systems and logics into every sphere of life
\n–\tI want to understand how that logic has impacted on the home and the labours that occur within it<\/p>\n
Location: \tHome \/ Households\/ Private Sphere \/ Non-public
\n\t\tTwo Global cities: London and New York
\nSubjects: \tMembers of households <\/p>\n
How useful is it to still view the organisation of home through heterosexual nuclear families structures.
\nWife, Husband, Children
\nThe staff \/ paid workers in the home \/ workers who do the traditional work of women
\n–\tnanny, cleaner, domestic workers, au pairs, sex workers
\n–\tchildcare, housework, sex <\/p>\n
Effects of women\u2019s re entry into the waged labour market \u2013 movement in and out of the waged labour market
\nValue of the wage \u2013 what does a wage bring \u2013 independence from men \/ male wage, maternity leave \u2013 but no paternity leave, full time vs part time wages
\nDemands of the 1970\u2019s Wages for Housework <\/p>\n
What has changed since the 1970\u2019s \u2013 are we still demanding wages for housework. Of in a fucked up way have we \u2018won\u2019 the demand. The relevance silence from the feminist movement. What feminist movement. What happened to the fight? What are the topics now. Certainly not questions about our lives \u2013 now feminism is about violence and saving other women<\/p>\n
Global chains of care \u2013 global north suffering from care deficit
\nGenerations of knowledge of care and how to raise children disappearing \u2013 lost. The Rise of the Parent as a figure. Of parenthood. In previous organisations forms \u2013 women were always around children. As a child, before marriage, looking after children who were not biologically yours. <\/p>\n
What is labour \u2013 definition \u2018purposeful human activity\u2019
\nProductive \/ Non-productive for capital \u2013 Marxist distinction \u2013 in relation to creating value \/ surplus value. The production of labour power. The mystification of the private sphere. The understanding of the arrival of labour power on the market. The trick of capitalist organisation. We have been forced to pay and work for our own reproduction \u2013 from birth, childcare, education, health. <\/p>\n
The invisible hands of the market – <\/p>\n
