In Capitalism is Going Very Well (for Capital), Corina Rodríguez Enríquez (DAWN Executive Committee) sheds light on the idea that there’s no crisis of capitalism, but rather it is a crisis between capital and life. She proposes a more complex analysis and greater interaction between academia, social mobilisation, and people in the territories. Corina is followed by Maureen Penjueli (Pacific Network on Globalisation) with a careful description of neoliberal colonisation of all kinds of spaces, including our own imaginations. Maureen suggests there should be a call for feminists to create new languages and new imaginations to escape this predicament.

In this series of videos, we invite you to experience what DAWN’s analysis looks like, presented live at an international meeting. We join forces with partners and contributors from other organisations to think and discuss contemporary issues such as corporate capture, religious extremism, biopolitics and the climate crisis.

DAWN owes its sustained activism throughout the years to all the great women who have committed their time, strength, and expertise to build critical South analyses of global issues. Strategically located as a feminist network within the paradoxical spaces opened by globalisation, DAWN engages with other networks in its advocacy for gender, economic and ecological justice as well as sustainable and democratic development. The meeting where this video was captured is an example of this process.
