Nel presente articolo, analizzerò come l’invisibilizzazione del lavoro riproduttivo durante la Tigre Celtica in Irlanda venga narrativizzato attraverso l’uso di elementi gotici e perturbanti all’interno del romanzo Nothing on Earth (2016) di Conor O’Callaghan. Dopo aver dato alcune coordinate teoriche sul concetto di lavoro riproduttivo all’interno dell’ecologia-mondo capitalista e averle poi situate nel contesto irlandese, passerò all’analisi del testo. La mia argomentazione si baserà sul lavoro di teoriche come Maria Mies, Silvia Federici, Jason Moore, Sharea Deckard e Kate Houlden.
