Facetten der Prekarisierungsgesellschaft - Prekäre Verhältnisse. Sozialwissenschaftliche Perspektiven auf die Prekarisierung von Arbeit und Leben

Social securities are being eroded, gainful employment is becoming a lottery, the future is becoming impossible to plan for. How can the destabilizing of work and life that is referred to as precarization be explained? This volume does not seek a one-dimensional answer to this question. Instead, it brings together diverse perspectives from the social sciences on precarity, its causes and consequences: from regulation theory, post-operaism and discourse analysis, through systems theories right up to Bourdieuian sociology and governmentality studies. Through this, a multidimensional image of a phenomenon develops - one that cannot be captured in a single frame.
