How do we understand and engage precariousness and vulnerability in the contemporary world? This seminar explores the notion of precarity in anthropology and social theory. We will explore this notion genealogically asking such questions as: what are the forms of politics arising in relation to new transformations of labor? What are the regional debates in which the notion of precarity has arisen? We will then explore how anthropology has responded to ongoing destruction of whole forms of life, through war, settler colonialism, displacement, and poverty.
