Moving from a foucauldian point of view, I will try to framing the problem of precariat in the broader perspective of neoliberal hegemony. So, after describing some of the peculiarities of precarious life forms, I will analyze the human capital theory, with which pedagogical reflection has to open a confrontation. To this end, at the conclusion of the essay, I will briefly consider some alternative proposals to human capital theory.
