The Traffic in Women: Notes on the “Political Economy” of Sex

Gayle S. Rubin

4.9/5 (13500 ratings)

Description:In the essay "The Traffic in Women: Notes on the 'Political Economy' of Sex", Rubin discussed the trafficking of women, which she believes results from the "sex/gender system", a phrase she originated, meaning "the set of arrangements by which a society transforms biological sexuality into products of human activity, and in which these transformed sexual needs are satisfied." She takes as a starting point writers who have previously discussed gender and sexual relations as an economic institution (Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels) which serves a conventional social function (Claude Lévi-Strauss) and is reproduced in the psychology of children (Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan). She asserts that these writers fail to adequately explain women's subjugation; therefore, Rubin offers a reinterpretation of their ideas. Rubin addresses Marxist thought by identifying women's role within a capitalist society. She argues that the reproduction of labor power depends upon women's housework to transform commodities into sustenance for the worker. A capitalistic system cannot generate surplus without women, yet society does not grant women access to the resulting capital.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
