Eco-sociality at work
As the law of the home, economy surpasses work and labour seen solely within a capitalist market economy. The ‘home’, deconstructed as a home-as-unhomeliness, leads us to question what is valued? How do we attribute and assign value? In order for labour to be disentangled from its legal conception, what ‘we’ value must be carefully interrogated.
This work builds on a 2016 article published in Law, Culture and the Humanities, and Law, Migration and Precarious Labour: Ecotechnics of the Social (2021).

Child-care, elder care, forest nurture– by such functions, housewives or indigenes catalyse not exchange value, not use value, but a ‘metabolic value form’ that flows into and sustains the essential bio-infrastructureof the capitalist system.
