original intro text
Thinkers of the anthropocene complicate the distinctions between human being and ‘Nature’. Pharmaceuticals, microplastics and other products of the globalized industrial production chain have infiltrated our bodies and maybe even our ideas, informed by instruments produced by the same processes. Stacy Alaimo examines this new hybrid experience in all its complexity, especially with regard to medicine and new notions of health, ability and disability. Stefania Barca's “Forces of Reproduction” - en eco-feminist extension of Marx's understanding of primitive accumulation and social reproduction. Expanding historical materialism along the lines of Silvia Federici's work, Barca reframes human progress as grounded in women's work, slavery and “inter-species being”. Only in a radical consideration of these contradictions can the challenges of the anthropocene be successfully contronted.
