On Continuity and Exceptionality in Our Present Crisis: A Conversation with Silvia Federici
Selina Gallo-Cruz, Chelsea Renea Morton
Capitalism Nature Socialism, November 2024
On 2 May of 2024, we spoke via Zoom call with sociologist and critical historian of violence against women, Silvia Federici, author of “Caliban and the Witch,” among many other critical works on our present global crises – from the genocidal war against Palestine to women in welfare in the United States.
The conversation took us from the depths of her despair about the ongoing wars against the world’s most vulnerable peoples to the resilient hopes sowed by women in commons in Nigeria and Argentina. Silvia shared her reflections on the human experiences that have shaped her scholarship, the continuities of capitalist discipline observed in her early advocacy, and how she makes sense of today’s compounding global crises.
