Description
The present as precarious: a critical perspective. Conceiving the present as precarious requires a critical view that returns to giving historical character to the here and now, placing it within a broader historical cycle. In this cycle, precarity is not an accidental or transitory phenomenon, but rather a horizon of time (still) difficult to transcend. The concept of precarity highlights a condition that is socially and geographically determined, manifesting in various forms such as labour market, educational, healthcare, migratory, housing, and salary uncertainties, as well as psychological, affective, and symbolic ones. This book offers a nuanced exploration of this complex issue, shedding light on the social and geographical determinants of precarity.
