In 2008, just as the movement of the precarious seemed to be winning one political battle after the next, the fight against precarization suddenly dwindled. The cycle of struggles of the precarious that began in 2000 had seemingly come to an end. Ironically this was also the moment that precarity as a concept became widely known in popular opinion, media commentary and academia. This paper focuses on the movement of the precarious from its inception in the early 2000s to its decline in 2008 and its reappearance in response to the economic crisis through the widespread mobilizations for “real democracy” between 2008 and 2014. Drawing from our experience as participants in the movement of the precarious, and theoretical discussions that have shaped the politics of the movement, the paper adopts a retrospective approach to investigate the metamorphoses of a consciousness of precarity and of the underlying organizing practices that lead to its demise and subsequent incarnations. It reconstructs precarity as theory in action that lives through the organizational ontologies of the movement of the precarious.

2008年，就在不稳定的运动似乎在一场又一场的政治斗争中获胜时，反对不稳定的斗争突然减弱了。始于 2000 年的不稳定的斗争循环似乎已经结束。具有讽刺意味的是，这也是不稳定作为一个概念在大众舆论、媒体评论和学术界广为人知的时刻。本文重点关注不稳定的运动从 2000 年代初开始到 2008 年的衰落，以及在 2008 年至 2014 年间通过广泛动员争取“真正的民主”以应对经济危机而重新出现的运动。 借鉴我们作为参与者的经验在形成运动政治的不稳定和理论讨论的运动中，该论文采用回顾性方法来研究不稳定意识的变态以及导致其消亡和随后化身的潜在组织实践。它将不稳定重建为行动中的理论，它存在于不稳定运动的组织本体中。
