Precarious Forms, Forms of Precarity

Thu, November 10, 3:15 to 5:00pm CST (3:15 to 5:00pm CST), The Palmer House Hilton, Floor: 7th Floor, LaSalle 2

Session Submission Type: Panel

Brief Description

Through a conceptual lens of form, this panel thinks through various aspects of the socialist experience and seeks not only to expose the complexity of precarious forms of being and acting, but also to advance our understanding of socialism as a discrete historical experience and political project. We see precarity not exclusively as posing limitations for socialist citizens' agency and their political subjectivities, but also as the category capable of questioning, transcending and restructuring set norms and power relations as well as complicating the seemingly “totalizing” nature of the dominant perspective on socialist power relations.
