Extraordinary Risks, Ordinary Lives: Logics of Precariousness in Everyday Contexts
Beata Świtek, Allen Abramson, Hannah Swee
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.
