WINGS: Women's International News Gathering Service is an all-woman independent radio production company that produces and distributes news and current affairs programs by and about women around the world.
In this interview with Professor Claudia von Werlhof (a German sociologist, political scientist and Professor Emerita of Women’s Studies at the Institute for Political Science at the University of Innsbruck) capitalism is defined as the latest phase of a centuries-old patriarchal dream to replace dependency on women and nature with an artificial world. This fantasy underlies both gnostic religion and the thirst for war. The only solution, Professor Claudia says, is that “Men have to realize that life is here, they are here, they belong to life.” Professor von Werlhof’s books include “The Failure of Modern Civilization” and “The Struggle for a Deep Alternative: On Critical Theory of Patriarchy as a New Paradigm”. She has also written harsh criticisms of geo-engineering.
Women’s International News Gathering Service (WINGS) has been covering the global women’s movement and related issues for community radio since 1986. WINGS may be contacted at [email protected].
