Description
Understanding Risk in Our Permacrisis World Deborah Lupton's influential text explores how people respond to and act on threats, hazards, and dangers. In this fully revised edition, she calls for a return to risk theory in the social sciences, highlighting its ongoing importance in an age of increasing scepticism about experts and science. The book examines three major approaches to risk in social and cultural theory: the cultural/symbolic perspective, the risk society perspective, and the governmentality perspective. It also delves into the relationship between concepts of risk and selfhood, the notion of Otherness, and the pleasures of voluntary risk-taking.
