‘Precarious work, parenting and subjectivity’: Keynote speaker

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

Abstract

The subjectivity of parents in precarious work is presented as tension between adaptation and resistance to the given social (dis)order. The daily practices of ‘precarious parents’ are taken as exemplary for the understanding social subjectivity as struggle, rather than heroic ‘resilience’, as the neoliberal doctrine would present them. Explaining how these parents struggle through economic necessity will expose ‘normality’, and adaptation to normality, as something problematic, which actually does not presuppose ‘routine adaptation’.
