Balancing family and job? Have a career, care for relatives and raise children? Working without gaps and learning throughout life? These demands and promises, which put women in particular under pressure, are typical of our current reproductive regime. In her lecture, Tine Haubner explains why they are characterized by structural contradictions and what this has to do with capitalism. She introduces feminist theories of social reproduction and uses the example of current impositions in the German care and reproduction regime to show that capitalist societies are characterized by a particular reproductive contradiction and attempt to overcome this with the help of exploitation and division.
