In her 2015 book State of Insecurity, Lorey writes: “At many moments in the processes of precarization, something unforeseen, contingent, and also in this sense precarious arises. It is this aspect of precarization that harbours the potential of refusal, producing at the same time a re-composition of work and life, of a sociality that is not in this way, not immediately, not so quickly, perhaps even not at all, capitalizable. These kind of re-compositions can affect interruptions in the process of normalization, in other words, in the continuity of exploitability and governability.”² This was a point she also made explicitly in her lecture. We can relate this to the situation in Indonesia as we have encountered it since February 2016.
