The words 'precarity' and 'precariousness' are widely used when
discussing work, social conditions and experiences. However, there
is no consensus on their meaning or how best to use them to explore
social changes. This book shows how scholars have mapped out these
notions, offering substantive analyses of issues such as the
relationships between precariousness, debt, migration, health and
workers' mobilizations, and how these relationships have changed in
the context of COVID-19. Bringing together an international group
of authors from diverse fields, this book offers a distinctive
critical perspective on the processes of precarization, focusing in
particular on the European context. The Introduction, Chapters 3
and 8, and the Afterword are available Open Access via OAPEN under

The condition of precariousness not only provides insights into a
segment of the world of work or of a particular subject group, but
is also a standpoint for an overview of the condition of the social
on a global scale. Because precariousness is multidimensional and
polysemantic, it traverses contemporary society and multiple
contexts, from industrial to class, gender, family relations as
well as political participation, citizenship and migration. This
book maps the differences and similarities in the ways
precariousness and insecurity in employment and beyond unfold and
are subjectively experienced in regions and sectors that are
confronted with different labour histories, legislations and
economic priorities. Establishing a constructive dialogue amongst
different global regions and across disciplines, the chapters
explore the shift from precariousness to precariat and collective
subjects as it is being articulated in the current global crisis.
This edited collection aims to continue a process of mapping
experiences by means of ethnographies, fieldwork, interviews,
content analysis, where the precarious define their condition and
explain how they try to withdraw from, cope with or embrace it.
This is valuable reading for students and academics interested in
geography, sociology, economics and labour studies.

The book aims to counter the normative functioning of creativity in
contemporary capitalism with a plethora of alternatives to radical
creative practices. In the first part, titled "Creative
Capitalism", five authors analyze the forms of contemporary
capitalism: on the one hand, there are new ways of working which
include flexibility, mobility, and especially precarity; on the
other, there are new forms of recovery and accumulation. In the
second part, titled "Multitudinous Creativities: Radicalities and
Alterities", the book reflects on more autonomous creative
experiments in the world. The third part, titled "Creativity, New
Technologies, and Networks", analyses the issues related to the
work of creative capitalism and the possible resistance within the
digital and collaborative platforms.
