Abstract: (107 Views)
Although Iranian social sciences in recent years have opened a new chapter on the study of subordination and addressed this subject, but few studies in this field have addressed the mechanism of subordination. In this article, through an ethnographic field study, we seek to study the status of urban subalterns (informal labor forces) in Sanandaj and its suburbs in order to show a corner of the mechanism of falling into the subordination status and how to face this mechanism. We have also sought to formulate a concept that would explain the situation of the subordinate citizens of Sanandji and especially the informal labor force. Data collection has been done based on field research techniques including observations, conversations and participation or presence in daily life and library studies. Our conceptual lens is based on the concepts of Assef Bayat, Michel Foucault, Mbembe and Standing. This study shows that the subjugation mechanism has fueled citizens to fall into the abyss of subjugation and peripheralization through widespread dispossession of citizens in the form of historical/economic and social policies and programs. This research shows how the generation of biopower encourages the subjugation of citizens and how it threatens the life and work of the workforce even in the informal sector
