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 struggle 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.

Remarkable analysis of how witch-hunting served as an exploitative tool in the primitive accumulation of capitalism. I’d argue that the definition of social reproduction in the book isn’t clear enough...Remarkable analysis of how witch-hunting served as an exploitative tool in the primitive accumulation of capitalism. I’d argue that the definition of social reproduction in the book isn’t clear enough and might miss some points because it focused too much on procreation.

“such history cannot be written from the viewpoint of a universal, abstract, asexual subject.” 藏污纳垢的“私”领域，过去靠女性默默擦洗，现在要把它扒开来给人们看，也只有女性能做到。没有女性贡献的社会研究天生就欠缺一半的深度。
Feminist approach to the transition from feudalism to capitalism. Valid critique of Marx and Foucalt. 其实我总觉得福柯差一步就能想到性别层面了因为他讲biopower的时候已经想到了人口和生育问题只是没有进一步去想谁在承担这些功能/责任（当然这也有可能是因为福柯在我心里是queer形象而马克思妥妥...Feminist approach to the transition from feudalism to capitalism.

年末和朋友一起读这本真的是愉快体验。能让历史系笨蛋和理论研究者们一起血压升高的名著。

猎巫=收编子宫，控制稳定的劳动力来源。总算知道faggot为什么叫faggot了——homosexuals were at times the kindling for the stakes upon which witches were burned

费德里奇算是一个非常聪明的模仿福柯的儒，从历史的几个缺口再到对文本进行强迫阅读以外。我记得对费德里奇为代表老左医学/性别是史的批判早就已经很多了，有中文里面《科学史新论》就有一张专门反驳这种生殖技术争夺论的，但是问题在于，学术/学术工业这种东西的价值究竟在哪里，起码我觉得在构建一个部分人都会相信的叙事，然后推动现实实践，这个世界太无聊了，做老学究真的是最性缩力的东西了，时髦的空话如果真的能够引发海... 费德里奇算是一个非常聪明的模仿福柯的儒，从历史的几个缺口再到对文本进行强迫阅读以外。我记得对费德里奇为代表老左医学/性别是史的批判早就已经很多了，有中文里面《科学史新论》就有一张专门反驳这种生殖技术争夺论的，但是问题在于，学术/学术工业这种东西的价值究竟在哪里，起码我觉得在构建一个部分人都会相信的叙事，然后推动现实实践，这个世界太无聊了，做老学究真的是最性缩力的东西了，时髦的空话如果真的能够引发海啸，那本身就不是空话了。 (展开)

misogyny是patriarchal和资本主义的共谋的视角之前有看到过，关于猎巫作为阶级对立和分化的手段确实是新视野。英文版笛卡尔和霍布斯的理论部分有点晦涩，只能中英对照着看
