Extraordinary Risks, Ordinary Lives

Logics of Precariousness in Everyday Contexts

Herausgegeben: Switek, Beata; Abramson, Allen; Swee, Hannah

Beschreibung

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.
