| Résumé anglais |
This article examines the role of passion among precarious labour force in the Italian academia. By relying on C. Wright Mill's distinction between “passion as a reason” of action and “passion as a motive” to represent and discuss one's employment condition, the article concludes that the symbolic strength of passion is correlated to its applicability both as a tool to govern recruitment in neo-liberal academia and as a strategy to fit recruitment criteria and “become employable”. The article is based on more than four-year long documentation and participant observation in political initiatives and campaigns organised by precarious, non-tenured research staff in Italian universities.
