Mitamine Lab #51 - Notes on Patriarchy and Accumulation on a World Scale

Mitamine Lab is a culture laboratory based in Mexico City which blends sound archives with contemporary music and literature.

"Women are the optimal labour force because they are now being universally defined as ‘housewives’, not as workers; this means their work, whether in use value or commodity production, is obscured, does not appear as ‘free wage-labour’, is defined as an ‘income-generating activity’, and can hence be bought at a much cheaper price than male labour."

This is a playlist dedicated to Maria Mies's Patriarchy and Accumulation on a World Scale. This book (first published in 1986) offers a history of the related processes of colonisation and 'housewifization' and extends this analysis to the contemporary new international division of labour.
