»Abolition of the family!« This controversial proposal by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels has recently been revived by feminist writers, who analyze the family as a key institution of privatized social reproduction and discuss alternatives to this system. Building on these analyses, the volume's contributors explore the connections between space, the economy, and care. They respond from an interdisciplinary perspective to a twofold question: How are reproductive regimes shaped by space, and vice versa? And how can interventions at the level of space – whether literal architecture, everyday spatial practices, or imagined spaces in art and literature – help reform, revolutionize or abolish these regimes and enable other forms of relating?
