Packet 6: Bonus 17
A Sophie Lewis manifesto for this goal imagines an aghast interlocutor who compares its subject to “gravity or god.” For 10 points each:
[10h] A 2023 book by M. E. O’Brien calls for what goal? A passage on this goal in The Communist Manifesto sarcastically notes “Even the most radical flare up at this infamous proposal of the Communists.”
ANSWER: abolition of the family [accept answers describing the breakup of the nuclear family; accept “Aufhebung der Familie!”; prompt on answers indicating the abolition of marriage] (The Sophie Lewis book is Abolish the Family: A Manifesto for Care and Liberation. M. E. O’Brien is the author of Family Abolition: Capitalism and the Communizing of Care.)
[10e] Shulamith Firestone revived the “infamous proposal” by suggesting the use of artificial wombs in a 1970 book titled for this concept “of sex.” Hegel described a kind of this process in which the master and servant recognize the self-consciousness of the other.
ANSWER: dialectic [accept master-servant dialectic; accept The Dialectic of Sex]
[10m] Lewis credits this coiner of the word “feminism” with identifying the repression of the single-family home in an account of his “phalansteries.” This utopian socialist predicted a future in which the sea would turn to lemonade.
ANSWER: Charles Fourier [or François Marie Charles Fourier]
