Note: "Precarization has always been an inherent contradiction in liberal governmentality and disturbed the stabilizing dynamic between freedom and security. Presently, normal labor conditions oriented on a male breadwinner, a situation largely accessible only for the majority society, is losing its hegemony, and precarization is increasingly a part of governmental normalization techniques and as a result, in neo-liberalism it transforms from an inherent contradiction to a hegemonic function." Isabell Lorey is a prominent theorist on the recent discussions of “Self-precarization.” This article is based on Foucault’s concept of governmentality, and, along this context, aims to capture the appearance of precarization that came along with neoliberal hegemony.
