Abstract or Description

A talk by Isabelle Lorey, author of State of Insecurity: Government of the Precarious, with a screening of Kamera Lauft!, 2004

The third event in the Culture Industry Now! 2016 series, profiling key debates, practitioners and theorists in the field of the creative economy. This series assembles critical thinkers to decipher and diagnose what happens when culture is classed as an industrial sector and assimilated into economic paradigms.

If we fail to understand precarization, we understand neither the politics nor the economy of the present. Precarization is not a marginal phenomenon, even in the rich regions of Europe. In the leading neoliberal Western industrial nations it can no longer be outsourced to the socio-geographical spaces of the periphery where it only affects others. Precarization is not an exception, it is rather the rule. It is spreading even in those areas that were long considered secure. It has become an instrument of governing and, at the same time, a basis for capitalist accumulation that serves social regulation and control.
