The book offers a cross-disciplinary perspective on various aspects
of precariousness in contemporary culture and society,
concentrating on the topographical aspects of sources and causes of
uncertainty and anxiety. Precariousness and precarity are
themselves provisional and uncertain categories, though ones
inviting to rethinking the scopes of precarity and precariousness
from the perspective of locality and of places involved in their
otherwise global range. The recent years have shown some ways in
which precarity has changed its status and has become a strongly
debated area not only in economic and political disputes, but also
in philosophical debates and various fields of research related to
cultural studies. The articles included in the volume address the
spatial scope of anxieties and uncertainties involving numerous men
and women affected by the several decades of the neoliberal
insistence on various kinds of flexibility which, in turn, has put
in motion numerous new mechanisms of exclusion and marginalization.
Apart from this, a historical view on the making of precarious
places is also offered in the pages of the book.
