Nina Power is a philosopher, teacher, writer, and activist. Her critical
thought spreads through a porous web of practices and experiences linked to
philosophy, feminism, art, politics, film, new technologies and labour
relations.
In her 2009 essay "One-Dimensional Woman" she drew attention to the
perverse way in which capitalism manipulates feminism, co-opting its
demands and returning them to us in the form of sugar-coated reactionary
slogans. Against this, Power proposes collectively rethinking feminism in
alliance with Marxism, and organising new social, labour, sexual, and
emotional networks.
For Nina Power, writing is a form of activism, and her manifestos,
newspaper articles, and essays are pockets of resistance to the hegemonic
narratives of consumer societies.
In this podcast, Nina Power shares her thoughts

https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/nina-power-main/capsula>on the ideological
power of language, on systems of state violence, surveillance and control,
and on the need to reverse the savage logic of neoliberalism through
strategies such as commoning and her own notion of “decapitalism”.
