dear spectrites,
Not art or immediately media culture, but the debate on precarity has
not left the media culture circles untouched. As part of the euroMayday
campaign De Balie in Amsterdam organises an evening abot the French
protests, their social segregation and the relationship with the larger
debate on precarity, in close collaboration with flexmens.org and
greenpepper magazine. The debate can be followed live via our regular
webcast, and please feel welcome to join the chat channel that is always
available during the live-stream.
regards,
eric

La precarité toujours?
On the French protests, new social subjects and insecurity as living
condition

Massive demonstrations, blocked railway lines, occupied universities:
the French youth succeeded with it’s energetic protests against the CPE
to launch the issue of precarity into the mass media. Only months ago,
youth in the /banlieues/ made their situation public, with action
methods that were no less confronting. In the Netherland the term
precarity is unknown. Precarity, or “precarité” in French, refers to
unstable and insecure work and living conditions that have become more
and more dominant in our “flexible” society.
Meanwhile, social movements from around the continent have made the
topic subject of their daily political practice. On the 1^st of May,
Mayday, twenty European cities will be the site of Euromayday parades
and protests of temp/net/flex workers and migrants against precarity,
for flexicurity and citizenship. They allude to the rise of new social
subjects, Brain- and Chainworkers, and the /precariat/ as a new,
fragmented proletariat. In the Netherlands, flexibility has been the
reality for years: contract are generally temporary, rarely permanent
and never for life – and no trade union that is still opposed to that.
Work and income have become more insecure, while everyone still has
fixed basic expenses, that aren’t flexible at all. With the new
privatised care system and a rise in rents coming up, it looks like
precarity threatens to become the norm for more and more people in the
Netherlands as well.
Is the unrest in France representative for the situation in the
Netherlands and the rest of Europe, or is it a local reality? Is
precarity an issue, and if so, what are the consequences for our
thinking about work, life and politics? Do the trade unions still have
any role to play? And can’t flexibilised labour relations offer the
possibility of a more autonomous lifestyle?
On the 1st of May, Labour Day, de Balie will host a discussion on these
questions and more. With spoken columns, film, debate and reports of the
Euromayday parades.
