This book presents exciting new perspectives on the perception of risk and the strategies that people adopt to cope with it, using the framework of recent social and cultural theory. The contributors, all leading scholars in the social sciences, combine empirical analyses with metatheoretical critiques to tackle an unusually diverse range of topics. These include drug use, risk in the workplace, fear of crime and the media, risk and pregnant embodiment, the social construction of danger in childhood, and the relationship between risk phenomena and social order.
- Innovative critique and comparison of major perspectives on risk in social and cultural theory
- Goes beyond the usual topics of environmental, industrial and health risks to look at a diverse range of topics
- Multidisciplinary approach. Brings together leading scholars in sociology, cultural and media studies and cultural anthropology
