Extraordinary Risks, Ordinary Lives : Logics of Precariousness in Everyday Contexts Hardback
Edited by Beata Switek, Allen Abramson, Hannah Swee
Part of the Critical Studies in Risk and Uncertainty series
Hardback
Description
This book untangles the relationship between expert categorisations of risk and the on-the-ground experiences of untrained ‘ordinary’ people who may be routinely subjected to significant danger in a variety of extraordinary contexts.
It considers political, ethical and moral dimensions of risk and calls for more targeted ethnographic research, designed to reveal how grass-roots risk dispositions and practice intersect with official discourses, individual agency and community resilience.
