Early social reproduction theory and its contemporary strands

The paper aims to contribute to the significance of Marx’s understanding of the problem of social reproduction, mainly its Marxist-Feminist interpretations. In this presentation we will outline the fundamental points of departure for social reproduction theory by using three different historical strands of social reproduction theory: socialist feminism connected with the Second International, ‘autonomist feminism’ of the 1970s, and current SRT. Unlike transhistorical approaches that tend to sever connections between capitalist exploitation and gender oppression, we present different Marxist- feminist approaches that analyse specific determinants of gender oppression, and which interact with capitalist modes of production. If we want to provide an overview of the continuous theoretical lineage of Marxist feminism as a critique of capitalism and bourgeois feminism that extends over a period from the nineteenth-century, via the twentieth- century, onto recent theoretical enquiries and into the problem of social reproduction, we would use Zetkin, Luxemburg, Krupskaya, and Kollontai as our points of departure.
