Seminário do Grupo de Investigação "Identidades, Culturas e Vulnerabilidades", que estará a cargo de Susana Narotzky (Universitat de Barcelona) e decorrerá através da plataforma Zoom/Colibri.

Título: "The paradox of autonomy and dependency: Practices of kinship, citizenship and entrepreneurship in times of crisis".

Resumo: 

"At the center of present-day tension between autonomy and dependency in Europe is the articulation between intimate inter-generational kinship relations, the labor market and other income opportunities, and the state’s mediation in the form of the pension system and other benefits. In Spain, unemployment, indebtedness, job instability, and austerity policies foster everyday inter-dependencies that provide support through personal networks or formal institutions. This happens in a context that promotes the entrepreneurial self but where expectations of individual autonomy are paradoxically increasingly difficult to fulfil. Solidarity obligations that weave everyday actions of support around parents, children, friends and neighbors, are confronted at another scale with a discourse of privilege of access to resources such as jobs (stable labor) and income (retirement pensions). This complex and contradictory map of responsibilities ultimately poses the question of the long term sustainability of a social system whose precariousness has been multiplied by the ongoing pandemic."
