Progressive Landnahme - Reproduktion im Desasterkapitalismus

The land grab theorem is currently the subject of widespread debate. Although the sphere of reproduction is constantly affected by such expropriation processes, land grabs in this context have received little attention to date. Following on from Rosa Luxemburg, Tove Soiland shows that these forms of exploitation, which border on robbery, exist even in highly developed capitalist societies and have a particular impact on the sphere of reproduction. She illustrates that the restructuring of reproduction that has taken place in recent decades has resulted in a massive withdrawal of resources. This is evident not only in the transfer of unpaid care work to commodified care services. Newer forms of land grabbing also result from the replacement of care work with technical and digital solutions, for which the coronavirus crisis, with its health paradigm, was a major catalyst.

In addition to analyses of land grabbing in the field of reproduction, this second volume contains essays by feminist Marxist Tove Soiland that examine current modes of subjectification, patriarchal domination in gender relations and a new form of totalitarianism from a psychoanalytical perspective. This unfolds a critique of contemporary capitalism that is groundbreaking for a contemporary left-wing and feminist critique of society.
