The essay provides an overview of how precarity has become a structural and pervasive feature of the world we live in. For this reason, it must be investigated from multiple perspectives and through a variety of approaches, where historical knowledge is accompanied by the legal one, and sociological analyses engage in dialogue with philosophical reflections. Furthermore, the essay argues for the need to articulate and expand the discourse on precarity into a broad range of geographical specificities – both now and even more so in the future – without entirely abandoning the ideal effort of generalization. Under the overarching “umbrella” of the concept of precarity, there exists a multitude of practices and conducts, contractual forms and methods of oppression, as well as social claims, campaigns, and forms of resistance, all of which take on unique characteristics in different parts of the world.
