Das Judentum im Kriege
AU$650 Read MoreAdd to cartEdmund Daniek
Wien: Deutschnationale Vereinigung, 1919.Early interwar Austrian antisemitic tract. Daniek, a journalist and functionary of the Christlichsoziale Partei (CSP), wrote it as a central document of Christian Social antisemitism, and the party deployed it specifically against the Austrian Social Democrats in the February 1919 “Fluchtlings-Nationalratswahlkampf”, the first of the Republic’s so-called “refugee election campaigns”. It was used again in the May 1919 Vienna municipal election and the October 1920 National Council election. The pamphlet’s central argument was an antisemitic conspiracy theory portraying Austrian Jews who had fled Galicia and Bukovina during WWI as responsible for Austria’s wartime social and economic crisis, and it advocated a visible and aggressive attack on the Jewish population. A primary source for organised antisemitic politics in the immediate post-war Austrian Republic.

Beyond The Periphery of the Skin: Rethinking, Remaking, and Reclaiming the Body in Contemporary Capitalism
AU$30 Read MoreAdd to cartSilvia Federici
Oakland: PM Press, 2020.“More than ever, the ‘body’ is today at the centre of radical and institutional politics. Feminist, antiracist, trans and ecological movements all look at the body as a ground of confrontation with the state and a vehicle for transformative social practices. Concurrently, the body has become a signifier for the reproduction crisis the neoliberal turn in capitalist development has generated and for the international surge in institutional repression and public violence. Here, lifelong activist and bestselling author Silvia Federici examines these complex processes, placing them in the context of the history of the capitalist transformation of the body into a work-machine. In this process she confronts some of the most important questions for radical political projects. What does ‘the body’ mean, today, as a category of social/political action? What are the processes, institutional or anti-systemic, by which it is constituted? How do we dismantle the tools by which our bodies have been “enclosed” and collectively reclaim our capacity to govern them?” (publisher’s blurb)
