Whether it was the precariousness of Johnson being completely at Cantwell's mercy after so thoroughly posterizing him, or if Cantwell just appreciates a good old-fashioned piggy-back dunk, even if he's the dunkee, Cantwell held on to Johnson until refs were able to help wrangle him down.
Against this backdrop, the UN appointment (even to war torn Libya) would likely have been a welcome escape for Fayyad from the frustrations and precariousness of his position at home and perhaps some small saving grace for the indignities repeatedly suffered at the hands of the Palestinian Authority.
Mr. Erdogan has already chipped away at Turkey's democratic institutions, purging the courts and civil service of suspected opponents, bringing the media to heel, and leaving in place a state of emergency after a failed coup in 443 that has added a new level of precariousness to the campaign.
Watching her in the field, I sensed the precariousness of her emotional tightrope: at one end is her decision to name the pigs rather than allowing them to remain as anonymous heads of livestock, and at the other end is their slaughter, which she will witness but not record.
Sanders's line on recognition is the opposite, the classic democratic socialist response to liberal democracy: Respect for everyone is a great idea, but it won't be real until everyone enjoys economic security, non-humiliating work, and a kind of economic dignity that the precariousness and disruption of the market undermine.
We're deeply in debt, working more hours and more jobs for less pay and less security, struggling to achieve the same standards of living as our parents, operating in psychological and physical precariousness, all while being told that if we just work harder, meritocracy will prevail, and we'll begin thriving.
But like most of Ambarchi's work, the longer you listen, the more you get caught up in the constant momentum of the whole thing—the fragmented precariousness that can feel like being in the backseat of a car that's moving just a little too fast for you to get comfortable.
Two recent edited collections situated at the crossroads of art, capitalism, and risk, Speculations ("The future is _____") (Triple Canopy, 2015) and Speculation, Now (Duke University Press, 2014), make the case that, given the precariousness of the present, now is not the time for artists and intellectuals to play things safe.

And in the years immediately before that death, her life was lived in conditions of the utmost precariousness, in occupied France, and it was there that she conceived the project of re-creating the story of her own family, painting her way through — and perhaps beyond — her own suicidal inclinations.
Although there are some glancing contemporaneous references, the social milieu of the book remains much closer to the interwar or wartime setting of her earlier novels; the prescriptions of class still pass unchallenged; and a "bachelor girl" faces conditions of dingy and callous precariousness that have not been seen for a while.
The book contains much of the same raw material as others we group under the "feminist dystopia" label—a sensitivity to the many faces of inequality; a sharp attunement to the precariousness of female existence; the diffuse cocktail of fury and exhaustion that comes with the work of trying to navigate it.

It is in, but not of, the museum, and Mr. Esparza has invited five artists not officially in the Biennial to exhibit their work here, most notably Beatriz Cortez, whose 211-foot-high "Cairn," assembled from large chunks of volcanic rock, is a fragile balancing act that speaks volumes about the precariousness of life today.
"Ellison really viewed the clinic as a prism for understanding African-American experiences, primarily with migration and urbanization and the precariousness of life in a ghetto," Gabriel N. Mendes, an assistant professor at the University of California, San Diego, who wrote a book about the clinic, "Under the Strain of Color," said in a phone interview.
But in technology's disorienting cacophony, the disaggregation of increasingly unequal societies, the frustrations of the many millions for whom life has become an exercise in precariousness, the pressures of globalization and mass migration, the stirring of racism, the spread of terrorism, and the steady undermining of truth, the seeds of a new authoritarianism have been sown.

By making material the vulnerabilities of contemporary relationships between Chicago and Michoacán, tracing a physical (in)balance between geographies with the plants that traverse the edges of these nation states, Cruzvillegas's forms embody the precariousness and hope, if not the danger, of contemporary notions of borders, and the forces at work that make them porous or impenetrable.
With a focus on art driven by crisis, the Yokohama Museum of Art, and the two well chosen historical venues — the Red Brick Warehouse No. 20173, and the Yokohama Port Opening Memorial Hall — displays most of the works in which artists mine current and historical events to level indictments as well as reappraise the precariousness of contemporary conditions.
A few works, like "IDLER, LEZZER, TOSSPIECE (THE WDW SWING NOSE & SCALLOP VERSION" (2010) — in which a pair of plush toy scallops sit on a swing, wide-eyed and perhaps terrified — and "LACANCAN" (2010), which consists of a blue plush hermit crab sitting (or perhaps stranded) on a lifeguard stand, seem to hint at the current precariousness of sea life.
Fresh anxieties about the precariousness of work and the increasingly precarious place of the worker have, meanwhile, permeated the cultural mainstream, from mounting critiques of the so-called gig economy to the teachers' strikes enjoying popular support nationwide to Steven Spielberg's "Ready Player One," a Hollywood vision of the future that features characters who become indentured servants to rapacious tech overlords.
Today scapegoats are sought everywhere for the widespread feeling that something is amiss: that jobs are being lost; that precariousness has replaced security; that incomes are stagnant or falling; that politicians have been bought; that the bankers behind the 2008 meltdown got off unscathed; that immigrants are free riders; that inequality is out of control; that tax systems are skewed; that terrorists are everywhere.
His most affective pieces are those that engage the relationship between capitalist cycles of consumption and disuse and biological cycles of life and death, but with the knowledge that pondering these themes is an indulgence that many people can't afford; they are the pieces in which the drama and precariousness of existence are kept at bay by a greater urgency, that of maintaining our lives.

The uncomfortable truth about the Trump campaign is that, like the Brexit campaign, it is perfectly timed to ride a mood of popular revolt — against neoliberal economics, against the bankers who emerged with impunity from the 2008 financial meltdown, against what Farage called "global corporatism," against seemingly uncontrolled immigration, and against the politicians behind growing workplace precariousness and a pervasive sense of personal control lost to impersonal forces.
Like the players whose careers he helped shape—Sid Abel, Dave Keon, Steve Yzerman, Wayne Gretzky—he was a humble superstar who pointed to his teammates more than he pointed to himself; an attitude not cultivated by agents and managers wanting to spin his brand, but rather out of a sensitivity for the precariousness and fragility of the sport, an awareness born out of an early life-threatening head injury suffered during a game that was relieved only after doctors geysered blood from his skull on a trainer's table to ease the cranial pressure.
Beginning in the 1980s, a period of political tumult in Nigeria, and moving on through 2008, "Stay With Me" fluently explores the interface between the personal and the political, and the precariousness of stability and safety in both realms: how public events — be they elections, protests or coups — take place while people are getting on with their daily lives, eating or opening a window, fighting with a spouse or taking care of a sick child; how dreams, ideals and romantic relationships can be shaped by distant but momentous developments on the national stage.
