La Vega del río Segura, en el sureste español, es un territorio producido como espacio sociorelacional polarizado y fragmentado, donde las clases trabajadoras actúan como figuras laborales flexibles, caracterizadas por una elevada movilidad y adaptabilidad laboral. Durante décadas, las particulares relaciones de poder, de trabajo y de economía moral que se han desplegado en la comarca, se han mantenido más o menos estables.
Pero después de la crisis iniciada en 2008 comenzaron a aparecer fracturas agravadas con la nueva crisis sociosanitaria de 2020. Las incertidumbres producen heridas morales, debilitándose el precario consenso social que favorecía la reproducción del modelo local.
The Vega of the Segura river, in southeastern Spain, is a territory produced as a polarised and fragmented socio-relational space, where the working classes have been produced as flexible labour figures, characterised by high mobility and labour adaptability. For decades, the particular relations of power, work and moral economy that have unfolded in the region have remained more or less stable. But after the crisis that began n 2008, signs of disruption began to appear in traditional labour relations and the social organisation of work, fractures that are being aggravated by the new social and health crisis of 2020, which is negatively affecting the opportunities for socio-occupational insertion and social reproduction of the working class. Job uncertainties make them feel more vulnerable and less socio-labourly recognised, which produces moral wounds, weakening the precarious social consensus that favoured the reproduction of the local social system.
