Precarious objects explores the traffic between design and activism
by telling stories drawn from contemporary counter-precarity cases
in Italy. As a category of labour and of global social experience
in general, precarity is a wicked problem that affects all aspects
of life, regulating the production and circulation of a wide range
of material and immaterial effects. In this book, three
microhistories of counter-precarity explore existent forms of
resistance and resilience to precarity. Drawing on ethnographies
and archives and bringing together debates from design theory,
cultural studies and geography, this study shows how design objects
and practices recode political communication and reorient how
things are imagined, produced and circulated. It also shows how
design as a practice can reconfigure material conditions and
prefigure ways to repair some of the effects of precarity on
everyday life. -- .
