Abstract

This text covers the fundamental elements of the Theory of Social Reproduction as it bets on a contemporary Marxist feminism. It begins with the definition of what is social reproduction under capitalism, and then goes into the debates about the relations between production and reproduction; what is the role of the family; how sexuality and reproductive rights can be thought from this point of view; and how can neoliberal dispossession processes be read in terms of social reproduction. This topics are developed in dialogue with other traditions of Feminist theory such as French materialism, intersectionality, the commitment to “the commons” and autonomism.
