Description
Summary:Will the “precariat” – Guy Standing’s “class in the making” – be able to function as a catalyst for social change? This question led us to deal with precarious population groups and examine their attitudes towards social injustice. Our research was carried out on two different groups of people who work and live under precarity conditions. It has been found that there are elements in society that not only passivize precarious subjects, entrapping them in a sense of the “inevitable”, but also function to corrode the solidarity among these subjects themselves. Precarious subjects are prone to rationalize alienation and tend to compromise with the “expropriation” of their anger. The purpose of our survey is to discover what this issue might mean, if studied from the Critical Pedagogy perspective.
