SUMMARY:Vortrag "Discussing the Arcana today"
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Leopoldina Fortunati revisits the book When The 
 Arcana of Reproduction that first appeared in the 1980s. It entered a worl
 d where feminist theory was already challenging the invisibility of reprod
 uctive labor—housework\, care\, and the embodied work of producing and s
 ustaining life. By deconstructing the main Marxian categories\, the book e
 xposed how this labor\, though systematically devalued and naturalized\, i
 s productive and indispensable to capitalism. \\r\\nToday\, revisiting Th
 e Arcana of Reproduction allows us to see both continuities and transforma
 tions. The “arcana”—the hidden mechanisms of reproduction—have not
  disappeared\; instead\, they have taken on new forms. While the backbone 
 of reproductive labor continues to be unpaid\, an increasing part of it ha
 s become globalized and commodified\, with migrant women often sustaining 
 the care needs of wealthier nations. Digital technologies have reorganized
  both productive and immaterial reproductive work: platforms mediate child
 care\, domestic work\, dating\, sociality\, and even sexuality.
