Event overview
A talk hosted by InC (Continental Philosophy Research Group)
The talk addresses the relation between the discourse of precarity and the increasingly prominent references to a human condition described in terms of 'abandonment.' One of the consequences of this displacement is an implied shift in emphasis from many of the sociological typologies characterizing precarity to an insistence on the ontological conditions for thinking contemporary forms of life, as well as new forms of governance informing social existence. In tracing out this displacement and its implications, the talk focuses on the sense of temporality or the 'tenses' in which precarity and abandonment are played out in our contemporary context.
