	portland imc - 2001.09.14 - Globalization = Militarization = Ramboization
		Maria Mies, emeritus professor of sociology in Koln, Germany, warns that ramboization, the militarization and brutalization of society, is a consequence of globalization.
		Maria Mies: The Orwellian newspeak about "humanitarian interventions" is necessary to promote acceptance of worldwide offensive wars.
		Maria Mies: Women of the rich lands and classes naturally profit from such colonial wars like the current war in the Balkans.

	Strength in Numbers for Globalization’s Critics - NGOs - Global Policy Forum
		Maria Mies was in Seattle in 1999 as ten thousands of demonstrators marched through the streets chanting the slogans "No globalization without participation" and "The world is not for sale." Trade unions, church groups, environmentalists, women's movements and third world groups protested against a new round of liberalization of world trade.
		A retired sociology professor and member of the organization Attac, which is critical of globalization, Mies said she was aware of the many faces of the anti-globalization movement.
		Mies said democracy is globalization's first victim, adding that the movement's central demand for people to become more involved in political decisions has remained unchanged.

	Women in Action (2:1998)\| Towards a Feminist Alternative Economy - Patricia C. Gonzales
		Mies identifies the paradigm of Man-the-Hunter as the origin of the paradigm of the Patriarchal Growth Model of Development.
		Mies' critical eye does not spare socialist countries as she briefly reveals how this same accumulation process happened in these countries.
		In the final sections of her book, Mies proceeds to describe some of the features of an alternative economy whose basic assumption consists of a total rejection of the "growth model." The first component is a change to a greater autarky of overdeveloped and underdeveloped countries.

		Mies especially emphasizes the witch hunts, in which millions of women, and a smaller number of men, were accused of heresy, tortured, and burnt.
		Mies gives parallel accounts of the fate of women in the third world under colonization, and the fate of women in the first world under what she calls "housewifization." She shows that family structures and gender relations regularly followed the pattern that was dictated by profit calculations.
		Mies is somewhat troubled by the position taken by Clara Zetkin, a leading 19th-century German socialist feminist, who spoke in favor of, not against, women staying home and being dependent on their husband's income.

	HOW A FICTION BECAME THE TRUTH: FIVE THESES ON COGITO, IMAGINATION, AND MODERNITY
		My argument is that the theoretico-historical constitution of the bourgeois subject-form on the basis of its conflictual relationship with the imagination (grasped both as conceptual category and as social-historical content) is the building block on the basis of which “the sphere of private persons gathered together in a public” (Habermas) is politically instituted.
		Maria Mies, for instance, has argued that the colonization of women’s bodies effected by the eradication of the knowledges (of abortion and birth control techniques among other things) that were most likely available to witches (i.e., midwives) constitutes a crucial step in the formation of modern capitalism.
		My point is thus to trace the productive effects of Descartes’s thought as well as to situate it as one strand in the broader cultural web of which it is a part.

		For starters, in terms of my Ford Motor Company example, I, for one, would agree with Buckminster Fuller that manufacturing automobiles of the kinds usually made is not an ethically defensible objective at all; hence whether they should be made in Brazil or in Michigan ought to be a moot question.
		Here I will resume my discussion of metaphysics and make two points: that the globalization of production is the consequence of the metaphysics of economic society, and that it is useful in practice to regard mainstream economics as a metaphysics.
		Their relevance to my topic is that if you believe in them --and I do-- then you might think that you do not need a theory of international trade.

		At the time of the 1995 consultation, Maria Mies was Professor Emeritus of Anthropology and Sociology, University of Cologne, Germany.
		Whereas the relationship between the capitalist and the wage laborer is legally one of owners (the one of capital, the other of labour power) who enter a contract of exchange of equivalents, the relationship between colonizers and colonies is never based on a contract or an exchange of equivalents.
		In my view, the most interesting part of her analysis is her tracing the history of the GDP as an indicator of economic growth, which was/is considered equivalent to "well-being".

	BOOK NOTES
		Mies holds that women currently have a dual role in the world economy.
		Women in the Third World are crucial as producers and middle-class women in the industrialized nations who are not part of the wage labor force are vital to the economy as consumers.
		In her conclusion, Mies envisions a world economy which forswears coercive economic relations and is guided by the principle of self-sufficiency.

	portland imc - 2002.07.26 - Globalization Undermines Labor Laws and Social Standards
		Global free trade is not attacked for narrow-minded protectionist reasons but because it is incompatible in principle with democracy and undermines hard fought labor rights and social standards.
		"People want to regain control over their immediate living conditions." Maria Mies sees the disinterest of people in global free trade negotiations as the effect of the "TINA-axiom", "there is no alternative".
		For Maria Mies, the peril and perniciousness are reflected in a quotation from Pervy Barnevik, the president of the Asea-Brown-Boven group, one of the most powerful business groups in the world.

	There is an Alternative
		Mies is widely respected for her work, including Patriarchy and Accumulation on a World Scale: Women in the International Division of Labour (1986) and Eco-Feminism (1993), which was co-authored with Vandana Shiva.
		Her theories centre around alternatives to global capitalism, based in the lived experience and expertise of women around the world and efforts by indigenous cultures to resist colonialisation.
		The reader who begins this volume with the opening interview by Ariel Salleh with Maria Mies might be shocked to learn, as I was, that it was originally published in 1988.

		There may be as many ways to combine ecologism and feminism as there are Green ideologues, but the argument of Mies and Shiva is most compelling.
		Although men are predominantly responsible for this violence, Mies and Shiva make it clear that they do not see men as the problem but rather the system that some men have created.
		Ecologism is based on a holistic approach and Ecofeminism gives an all-encompassing analysis of the problems caused by capitalism and industrialization, particularly in regard to food and reproduction.

	maria mies \| the subsistence perspective
		When I say "we," I am referring to my two friends Claudia von Werlhof and Veronika Bennholdt-Thomsen, with whom I developed this approach in the mid-1970s.
		I was in India for many years, my two friends were in Latin America, and so we realized: if entire countries hadn't been exploited as colonies for long periods of time, then there wouldn't be any capitalism.
		But then again, to my surprise, there was also a wide range of subsistence production in the cities, even in the U.S. An American feminist did research into that and discovered that until the 1960s, a great deal of subsistence activities continued to exist in the neighborhoods in major industrial cities.

		The methods cooperatives are using to achieve this goal are gradual rather than sudden, peaceful rather than violent, voluntary rather than coercive, and concerned with building an alternative at the grassroots level rather than with either reforming or overthrowing the present system.
		This article is a revised and adapted version of my earlier research on the Seikatsu Club Consumers' Cooperative included in Evanoff 1993a, 1993b, 1994a, and Evanoff, Dickey, and Saito, 1993.

		a note on my choice of words: environment (environmental, environmentalism) as a word prejudges the issues in a particularly unfortunate way, insofar as it implies that the natural world is essentially merely a surround, backdrop, or setting for the main attraction: us.
		Given the obvious and serious problems with the established religions - and their poor ecological record - one can see why, but in my view actually excluding a sacred dimension is an unnecessary weakness.

		Abstract: This article presents some critical reflections on Maria Mies' advocacy of a "subsistence perspective".
		I review the focal emphasis that Mies' puts on agriculture and the peasant economy, and on decentralized politics (direct democracy).
		But I also indicate the limitations of Mies' political vision in that she advocates the continuance of both the state and the wage system.
