CalibanAndTheWitch

Caliban and the Witch is a history of the body in the transition to capitalism. Federici investigates the capitalist rationalization of social reproduction, tracing the journey from peasant revolts of the late Middle Ages to the witch hunts and the rise of mechanical philosophy.

She highlights the struggle against the rebel body and the conflict between body and mind, which were crucial for the development of labor power and self-ownership. These principles are the foundation of modern social organization.
