EnglishDrawing on the history of the feminist movement and the contemporary Italian debate, this chapter reflects on the case of reproductive labour as a site for the production of political cultures of (in)equality. By combining a genealogical perspective on Italian feminisms, current statistical data, and feminist political theory, we will look at reproductive labour as a paradigmatic case for a gendered reading of the crisis (Walby 2015) in its intersection with class and racial inequalities. Reproductive labour has been a major area of feminist contestation since the 1970s, and has recently gained a renewed attention in feminist materialist analyses. Within Europe, Italian women spend the highest amount of time in domestic work (Harmonised European Time Use Survey, 2005-2007). Contemporary feminist struggles must work against the backdrop of the current national political situation, characterized by the crisis of left-wing political parties and union organizations, and by the rise of sovereigntism, populism, nativism and conservative catholic forces. Paired with the reduction in welfare spending and austerity measures, such a landscape has intensified both the neofundamentalist re-domesticization of reproductive labour and its neoliberal externalization to the racialized labour market of care work. The chapter concludes with a reflection on contemporary feminist movements in Italy, with particular attention to their intersectional alliances and the transnational circulation of political cultures.
