This work studies the production of subjectivities around the precarious conditions lived by some sugarcane agricultural workers. For this purpose, an empirical study under a multilocal and documentary ethnographic design was carried out with 32 participants. Interviews and field notes were used as data collection tools. The discussion of results was approached from the perspective of governmentality studies in order to scrutinize the way in which conducts display experiences and ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving. It is found that, although precariousness in work and life has become a natural issue, workers tend to classify this experience through categories related to gender, age and employment relationship matters. In these processes of subjectivation, the precariousness associated with vulnerability is recreated from the way in which experience is assembled with temporality, as well as with material and immaterial or human and non-human objects. This phenomenon is characterized by the ambivalence in which precariousness is signified and lived. Likewise, the precarious condition is constructed as an identity repertoire and assumed as a kind of destiny by subjects. All this is produced within the framework of a neoliberal logic that defined government mechanisms embodied in labor reforms.

Palabras clave : Governmentality; neoliberalism; precariousness; subjectivity.
