The Problem with Work

by Weeks, Kathi (2011)

Key Passage

What I am in search of is a conception of social reproduction - of what it is we might organize around - that can pose the full measure of its antagonism with the exigencies of capital accumulation, a biopolitical model of social reproduction less readily transformed into new forms of work and thus less easily recuperated within the present terms of the work society.
