Abstract

"What is the impact of precariousness on the quality of life and human agency? Precariousness has become an inescapable condition in the everyday lives of people around the world. Living with Precariousness explores the lived effects and affects of precariousness through critical dialogue surrounding states of vulnerability, instability and uncertainty that manifest in the current social, economic and political climate worldwide. A range of timely international case studies explore precarious existences - individually, collectively, structurally, as well as through space and the body. These range from the plight of refugees, to the 'tiny house movement' as a response to unaffordable housing; from the exploitative practices of modern slavery, to the daily vulnerabilities of living with a chronic disease. This book illustrates how pervasive the effects of precariousness are, ranging from a variety of everyday uncertainties that impact on the individual, as well as national crises that have destabilising global impacts"--
