Manifesto pisolini. Guida femminista sul diritto al riposo
by Cafaro Virginia
A story of a family like many others: daughter of two working class parents, Virginia Cafaro never saw her parents really rest, in the sense of enjoying moments of idleness, relaxation and sleep. But even she had never been able to give a name to that monster that had always prevented her from taking a nap without feeling guilty: chronophagous capitalism.With an unprecedented and singular perspective, this feminist guide pushes us to claim the right to rest, intersecting sociological analyzes with daily experience. Starting from the dark side of doom scrolling, up to bedtime procrastination and taking inspiration from the behavior of guinea pigs, the author leads us to investigate the feminist side of rest and to claim it as a revolutionary act compared to hypercapitalism’s constant attempt to swallow every minute of our time.
