Paperback, 176 Pages: More than ever, the body is a key battleground in radical and institutional politics—at the center of feminist, antiracist, trans, and ecological struggles, and a site of confrontation with state violence and neoliberal crisis. In Beyond the Periphery of the Skin, Silvia Federici builds on themes from Caliban and the Witch to trace how capitalism has transformed bodies into work-machines, and how new paradigms of resistance are emerging in response. Based on three lectures delivered in San Francisco in 2015, this book explores how we might reclaim our bodies from systems of discipline and enclosure, and asks what the body means today as a political subject, how it is shaped, and how it can become a collective force for liberation.
