'A groundbreaking work . . . Federici has become a crucial figure
for . . . a new generation of feminists' Rachel Kushner, author of
The Mars Room A cult classic since its publication in the early
years of this century, Caliban and the Witch is Silvia Federici's
history of the body in the transition to capitalism. Moving from
the peasant revolts of the late Middle Ages through the European
witch-hunts, the rise of scientific rationalism and the
colonisation of the Americas, it gives a panoramic account of the
often horrific violence with which the unruly human material of
pre-capitalist societies was transformed into a set of predictable
and controllable mechanisms. It Is a study of indigenous traditions
crushed, of the enclosure of women's reproductive powers within the
nuclear family, and of how our modern world was forged in blood.
'Rewarding . . . allows us to better understand the intimate
relationship between modern patriarchy, the rise of the nation
state and the transition from feudalism to capitalism' Guardian

The process of matching a person who has a disability with the most
appropriate assistive technology requires a series of assessments,
typically administered by multidisciplinary teams at specialized
centers for technical aid. Assistive Technology Assessment Handbook
fills the need for a reference that helps assistive technology
experts perform assessments that more effectively connect the
person and the technology. Emphasizing the well-being of the
individual with a disability, the book proposes an ideal model of
the assistive technology assessment process and outlines how this
model can be applied in practice internationally. Organized into
three parts, the handbook: Gives readers a toolkit for performing
assessments Describes the roles of the assessment team members,
among them the new profession of the psychotechnologist, who is
skilled in understanding individuals and their psychosocial and
technological needs and preferences Reviews cutting-edge
technologies for rehabilitation and independent living, including
brain-computer interfaces and microswitches The book synthesizes
information scattered throughout the international literature,
focusing on aspects that are particularly representative or
innovative. It also addresses the challenges posed by the variety
of health and social care systems and the different ways that
individuals who need aid are defined-are they users, patients,
clients, or consumers, and how does that affect the assessment?
Edited by Stefano Federici and Marcia J. Scherer, internationally
renowned leaders in the field of assistive technology assessment,
this cross-cultural handbook includes contributions from leading
experts across five continents. Guiding readers in matching the
person and the appropriate assistive technology, it offers a

This collection expands the body of research on the intersection of
gender and translation to highlight perspectives across different
countries in Europe, showcasing developments in the field from its
origins in the emergence of feminist translation in Quebec over the
last thirty years. Building off seminal work on feminist
translation by scholars in Canada in the 1980s and 1990s, the book
explores the evolution of the discipline in shifting translation
practices and research across a range of European countries, with a
focus on underrepresented areas such as Malta, Serbia, and Poland.
The different chapters examine key developments such as the
critical reframing of gender and identity, the viewing of
historical translation activity by women through the lens of
ideological and political motivations, and the analysis of
socio-political contexts where feminist or gender-inspired
translation has impacted translators' practices. The volume looks
concurrently at the European context and beyond it, putting the
spotlight on new voices in translation and gender research in the
region but also encouraging transnational dialogues on key issues
in the discipline, pushing the field further into new directions.
This book will be of particular interest to scholars in translation
studies, gender studies, and European literature.
Assistive Technology Assessment Handbook, Second Edition, proposes
an international ideal model for the assistive technology
assessment process, outlining how this model can be applied in
practice to re-conceptualize the phases of an assistive technology
delivery system according to the biopsychosocial model of
disability. The model provides reference guidelines for
evidence-based practice, guiding both public and private centers
that wish to compare, evaluate, and improve their ability to match
a person with the correct technology model. This second edition
also offers a contribution to the Global Cooperation on Assistive
Technology (GATE) initiative, whose activities are strongly focused
on the assistive products service delivery model. Organized into
three parts, the handbook: gives readers a toolkit for performing
assessments; describes the roles of the assessment team members,
among them the new profession of psychotechnologist; and reviews
technologies for rehabilitation and independent living, including
brain-computer interfaces, exoskeletons, and technologies for music
therapy. Edited by Stefano Federici and Marcia J. Scherer, this
cross-cultural handbook includes contributions from leading experts
across five continents, offering a framework for future practice
and research.

disabled users in human computer interaction evaluation.
“Dalla Costa shows that with the New Deal, the state began to
plan the â€social factory’—that is, the home, the family, the
school, and above all women’s labor, on which the productivity
and pacification of industrial relations was made to
rest.”—Silvia Federici In a groundbreaking study, Family,
Welfare, and the State offers a comprehensive reading of the
welfare system through the dynamics of women's resistance and class
struggle. Mariarosa Dalla Costa, a key figure in the International
Wages for Housework campaigns, highlights how the New Deal
concretized the central role of women and the family in ensuring
the capacity for economic growth and the reproduction of labor
power necessary for the maintenance of capitalism. As social
movements fight for and secure government relief for mass
unemployment in a way not seen for decades, it is essential to
understand how the deals—especially governing race, class, and
family relations—struck by earlier generations of activists have
shaped our world. A new foreword makes clear Dalla Costa’s
importance to understanding the functioning of social reproduction
in a world ravaged by COVID-19.

This volume addresses the imperative need for recognizing,
exploring, and developing the role of multilingual communication in
crisis settings. It is recognized that 'communication is aid' and
that access to communication is an undeniable human right in
crises. Even where effective and accurate information is available
to be distributed, circulated, and broadcast in different ways
through an ever-growing array of technologies, too often the
language barrier remains in place. From the Philippines to Lebanon
via Spain, Italy, Columbia, and the UK, crisis situations occur
worldwide, with different cultural reactions and needs everywhere.
The contributors of this volume represent a geographical mixture of
regions, language combinations, and disciplines, because crisis
situations need to be studied in their locale with different
methods. Drawing on disaster studies research, this book aims to
stimulate a broad, multidisciplinary debate on how complex
communication is in cascading crises and on the role translation
can play to facilitate communication. Translation in Cascading
Crises is a key resource for students and researchers of
Translation and Interpreting Studies, Humanitarian Studies, and
Disaster Studies.
How does the criminal justice system affect women's lives? Do
prisons keep women safe? Should feminists rely on policing and the
law to achieve women's liberation? The mainstream feminist movement
has proposed "locking up the bad men," and called on prisons, the
legal system, and the state to protect women from misogynist
violence. This carceral approach to feminism, activist and scholar
Gwenola Ricordeau argues, does not make women safer: it harms
women, including victims of violence, and in particular people of
color, poor people, and LGBTQ people. In this scintillating,
comprehensive study, Ricordeau draws from two decades as an
abolitionist activist and scholar of the penal justice system to
describe how the criminal justice system hurts women. Considering
the position of survivors of violence, criminalized women, and
women with criminalized relatives, Ricordeau charts a new path to
emancipation without incarceration. With a new foreword by Silvia
Federici.

This rigorous textbook tames technicalities and makes even the most
complex models accessible to students. Its unique two-tier
structure makes the book attractive for undergraduates, graduates
and researchers alike. In fact, the coverage is primarily directed
to undergraduate students and is mainly confined to graphic
analysis and to some elementary algebra. Further, each chapter has
its own mathematical appendix, in which (i) the topics treated in
the text are examined at a level suitable for advanced
undergraduates, graduates and researchers, and (ii) generalizations
and/or topics not treated in the text (including some at the
cutting edge of research) are formally examined. The new edition
has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the latest
research on international finance.This book deals with the
financial side of international economics and covers all aspects of
international finance. There are many books and articles by
exponents of alternative points of view. I know of no other book
that provides the scope, balance, objectivity and rigor of this
book. the late Professor Jerome L. Stein, Brown University This
book is a second edition of a volume on international finance first
published in 2001. Like Giancarlo's other books in International
Economics, this book is organised as a two-books-in-one by
distributing the material between text and appendices. The text
provides coverage suitable for an undergraduate course while the
mathematical appendices provide coverage of the topics at the
frontier of the discipline and suitable for advanced undergraduate
or graduate students in an international finance and international
macroeconomics course. This edition updates the earlier volume and
covers all the classic topics as well as the more recent advances
in the theory and modelling of international finance. It includes
some discussion of the empirical testing of these theories and
where appropriate reference to the extensive empirical literature
is also provided. This book is a valuable addition to the bookshelf
of any serious International Finance Scholar and provides a
treasure chest of material for any quality international finance
course. Professor Pasquale M Sgro, Deakin University Giancarlo
Gandolfo is one of the profession's most gifted textbook authors on
mathematical modeling and international economics. His revised
International Finance and Open-Economy Macroeconomics is remarkable
for its scope and clarity. The book covers the older and
intertemporal approaches, and topics that are usually left out of
graduate treatments (the chapter on balance-of-payments accounting
is a gem). Gandolfo's two-tier approach of first developing topics
with graphs and basic algebra and then providing rigorous
mathematics for each topic makes the book ideal for advanced
undergraduate and graduate classes. Professor Michael D. Goldberg,
University of New Hampshire
America's first treasury secretary and one of the three authors
of the "Federalist Papers," Alexander Hamilton stands as one of the
nation's important early statesmen. Michael P. Federici places this
Founding Father among the country's original political philosophers
as well.
Hamilton remains something of an enigma. Conservatives and
liberals both claim him, and in his writings one can find material
to support the positions of either camp. Taking a balanced and
objective approach, Federici sorts through the written and
historical record to reveal Hamilton's philosophy as the synthetic
product of a well-read and pragmatic figure whose intellectual
genealogy drew on Classical thinkers such as Cicero and Plutarch,
Christian theologians, and Enlightenment philosophers, including
Hume and Montesquieu. In evaluating the thought of this republican
and would-be empire builder, Federici explains that the apparent
contradictions found in the "Federalist Papers" and other examples
of Hamilton's writings reflect both his practical engagement with
debates over the French Revolution, capital expansion,
commercialism, and other large issues of his time, and his search
for a balance between central authority and federalism in the
embryonic American government. This book challenges the view of
Hamilton as a monarchist and shows him instead to be a strong
advocate of American constitutionalism.
Devoted to the whole of Hamilton's political writing, this
accessible and teachable analysis makes clear the enormous
influence Hamilton had on the development of American political and
economic institutions and policies.
