Recenzii
Represents a significant contribution to the study of precarity ... the dedication of the book's authors to depicting the visceral nature of precariousness in this volume is invaluable.
Why is a sense of precariousness so widespread today across diverse situations and ways of life? The collective achievement of this inspiring and beautiful book is to show how a common experience connects people facing different states of vulnerability - from mortal danger in conflict journalism or asylum seeking, to chronic risk in aged care homes and grinding worry about employment and housing - and how they still create strategies for living.
The human condition has always been precarious. New technological developments and global communications bombard us with daily warnings about the perils we live with: nuclear weapons, debilitating systems and irrational hatreds. This timely book is a measured assessment of where we are at, and could be heading. A warning: It is not all bad news.
As the effects of neoliberal bio-exploitation unfold, precariousness spreads all over planetary life. Today's generation of humans are walking as aliens in a world that grows every day more unknown. This book outlines a multi-dimensional picture of the precarization of global life. A much needed phenomenological attempt to map the ongoing disintegration of modern social civilization.
Our times are marked by extraordinary socio-cultural, environmental, technological and political upheaval and uncertainty. As a consequence, more than ever we need to critically understand our shared sense of vulnerability, to respond to these disturbing times with clarity, acuity and insight. Readers of this book will be enthralled and heartened to learn that we are not alone in this endeavour. We are all inter-connected by our shared experience of living with precariousness; and this is a solidarity of human agency and spirit that can only make us stronger and wiser.
