Kathi Weeks Professor of Gender, Sexuality & Feminist Studies | Duke University

KATHI WEEKS, Professor of Gender, Sexuality and Feminist Studies (Duke University) // Title of the talk: Abolition Archives, Feminist Futures Abolitionist Archives presents a feminist political agenda focused on prison abolition, family abolition, and anti/post-work refusal together with a methodological defense of the kind of scaled-up feminist theories that can address those systemic structural phenomena. Focusing on a small archive of US Marxist feminist theory consisting of two texts, Shulamith Firestone’s Dialectic of Sex and Donna Haraway’s “Manifesto for Cyborgs,” and one project, Angela Y. Davis’s prison abolitionist writing from 1971 to the present, the readings concentrate on the texts’ contributions to that political agenda and also to theorizing at the level of structured social relations and collective political activity that it requires.
