The article examines the ‘precariatisation’ of society. It focuses on the contradiction between the cultural and economic care of socially weak members of society. A distinction is made between the traditional precariat, which lacks cultural and economic capital, and the neo-precariat, which has accumulated cultural capital but lacks economic capital. Within the latter, the academic precariat is identified. The article seeks to answer how the academic precariat is transforming society’s social structure and the state’s political order.
