ABSTRACT

This chapter is a theoretical engagement with feminist readings of precarity, putting a series of situated sources, including those from grassroots theorizations, into conversation. Furthermore, it archives and engages a series of care-related neologisms loosely found in organizing events and paraphernalia such as blogs, flyers, meetings, workshops, activist research projects and scholarly publications used in feminist precarity activism in Southern Europe. This terminology helped expand the emerging vocabulary already circulating among precarity initiatives on how to read and face socio-economic transformations. The conclusion points to how these conceptual contributions enrich post-capitalist and post-border vocabularies and imaginaries within the academy and beyond.
