Tazi-Preve - The Perversion of Maternal
Adobe Acrobat Dokument 94.9 KB

The idea of a free gift economy has become important  in the movement for alternative economics, however the connection with women and especially with mothers has not been widely understood. The conference “The Maternal Roots of the Gift Economy,” held in Rome in 2015, brought together women and men from around the world to discuss this important issue.In a moment when the values of Patriarchy and the market seem to have triumphed, the values of mothering and care are more sorely needed than ever.

New Book - 2nd Edition

(with new cover)

The Failure of the Nuclear Family. Capitalism, Love and the State

 

available in German since 2017

forthcoming in English in 2020

 

Mariam Irene Tazi-Preve starts by describing the distress caused by the nuclear family and asks: Can the romantic couple really be the basis of a whole societal order? The book’s concern is it to show the historical and ideological causes of the nuclear family’s dilemma instead of searching for an individual failure. The author picks up all the relevant topics in a competent manner: the motherhood drama, the recent debate on reconciliation of job and family, and the new father debate. She analyses politics and its interest in the “smallest cell of state” and she shows how the economic system uses the nuclear family as its basis and brings it simultaneously at the brink of collapse. The conclusions from these discrepancies lead towards the illustration of alternative family forms which other societies are living in.

... On the 21st of January, one day after the inauguration of the US president, I was at the Million Women's March in Washington DC.  With approximately 500,000 participants (three times more than on the day of the inauguration) – nearly all women—at an estimated 3 to 4 million more in the whole country it was the largest demonstration ever held in the USA. From the perspective of an Austrian, who has been living in the USA for five years, I would like to describe the event and then analyze what it means for feminism generally ...
