  • <p>Women have always been healers. They were the unlicensed doctors and anatomists of western history. They were abortionists, nurses and counsellors. They were pharmacists, cultivating healing herbs and exchanging the secrets of their uses. They were midwives, travelling from home to home and village to village. For centuries women were doctors without degrees, barred from books and lectures, learning from each other, and passing on experience from neighbor to neighbor and mother to daughter. They were called <em>wise women</em> by the people, witches or charlatans by the authorities. Medicine is part of our heritage as women, our history, our birthright.</p>
  • <p>Aquesta no &eacute;s una hist&ograve;ria de fades, sin&oacute; una de bruixes i resist&egrave;ncies, a l&rsquo;origen de la qual trobem el genocidi, l&rsquo;assetjament i el control disciplinari dels cossos de milers de dones a Europa, l'&Agrave;frica, l'&Agrave;sia i Am&egrave;rica.</p> <p>Algunes de les moltes lli&ccedil;ons pol&iacute;tiques que podem extreure de Caliban i la bruixa s&oacute;n la implantaci&oacute; d'una nova divisi&oacute; sexual del treball, la desmitificaci&oacute; de la foscor de l'edat mitjana o la diluci&oacute; de les pr&agrave;ctiques socials basades en els b&eacute;ns comunals per part d'un capitalisme embrionari.</p> <p>Tant la transformaci&oacute; del model productiu com el fen&ograve;men incipient d'acumulaci&oacute; de riquesa van desembocar en un canvi d'ordre social que va &laquo;naturalitzar&raquo; la viol&egrave;ncia cap a les dones, alhora que les arraconava a l'espai dom&egrave;stic. A partir d'una profunda investigaci&oacute; hist&ograve;rica, Federici ens ensenya els or&iacute;gens del m&oacute;n en qu&egrave; vivim, un m&oacute;n on les viol&egrave;ncies dels sistemes capitalista, patriarcal i colonial continuen vigents i ens demostren que la ca&ccedil;a de bruixes i els seus efectes hist&ograve;rics es cronifiquen fins als nostres dies.</p>
