*** Apologies for cross-posting *** Dear all, We would like to invite submissions for paper presentations at the next Congress of the Portuguese Anthropology Association (APA), which will be held in Lisbon, from the 4th to the 7th of June 2019. *P066 "Envisioning precarity as a historical, material and moral condition"* *Short abstract* The notion of precarity has increasingly shaped debates on the neoliberal conditions of labour (de)regulation and people'’s livelihoods. This panel aims to contribute to overcoming a typological, ahistorical and unidimensional notion of precarity and precarization processes by expanding the theorization of precarity as a joint historical, material and moral condition. *Long abstract* In recent decades the notion of precarity has increasingly shaped debates on the neoliberal conditions of labour (de)regulation and people's livelihoods, within and outside academia, and on both sides of the Atlantic. This panel aims to bring together contributions which theorize the condition and politics of precarity and precarization processes through the lens of historical-bounded material and ideological constraints determining people’'s livelihoods and struggle capabilities, and contingent relational moral structures of meaning and action. The panel’ contributions will examine: 1) precarization processes deployed by the state as an integral part of national projects of accumulation and accommodation of global capitalist imperatives, their moral and ideological frameworks of legitimation; 2) how the condition of precarity shapes, and is shaped by, particular labour regimes and unequal moral relational structures of gender, kin, class or ethnicity; and, 3) how cultural registers and institutional configurations facilitate or constrain a critical politics of precarity, as expressed in forms of collective organisation (such as trade unions, political parties and community-based organisations). Please submit your proposals directly to the panel organisers by email: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> and [log in to unmask] ***The *deadline *for submissions is the *7th of January* 2019.*** Link to panel description here: http://apa2019.apantropologia.org/p066/.
