Oral Presentation
The paper presents and revisits the analytical concept of global grammars of enterprise developed in recent years together with Prof. Peter Kelly to test it in the Spanish context. This concept has enabled us to identify, examine and analyse the shifting, unstable, but always strategic power relations between the governmental discourses on entrepreneurship and the enterprising behaviour and dispositions of persons and groups, and the particular «declensions» and local «translations» of the ideas of entrepreneurship that supranational organisations and (mostly) young people perform within a process of globalised precarisation. Specifically, we seek to contrast the concept of global grammars of entrepreneurship with the critical literature published in the last decade in Spain on the discourses of entrepreneurship, its effects and its processes of subjectivation. The aim is to update the profile of the type of subjectivities that emerge at the crossroads between the processes of precarisation and the governmental programs for the production of entrepreneurs in a context marked by the various crises that the contested notion Anthropocene points out to.
