Neoliberalism and horizons of work precariousness

Abstract

This text discusses, initially, the precariousness of work in the current scenario of neoliberalism. Based on bibliographic and documentary research, it initially presents some theoretical and methodological bases of classical French psychosociology and its development as work psychosociology. Then, we seek to reposition this discipline in the fields of work and politics, through a possible articulation with the concepts of precariat and necropolitics. Here, we evoke the loss of labor and citizenship rights, which leads to growing social inequality and the “right of death”, from the State, on the poorest segments of the population. The text also questions the possibilities of public health care for workers, especially those submitted to working with applications. Regarding this activity, political advances and contradictions inherent to platform cooperatives are addressed, in their opposition to platform capitalism.
