Drawing on theory from anthropology, sociology, organization studies and philosophy, Åsa Boholm's writing addresses how the perception, communication and management of risk is shaped by culturally informed and socially embedded knowledge and experience. This book provides an account of how interpretations of risk in society are conditioned by knowledge claims and cultural assumptions, and by the orientation of actors based on roles, norms, expectations, identities, trust and practical rationality within a lived social world. By focusing on agency, social complexity and the production and interpretation of meaning the book offers a comprehensive and holistic perspective.
Åsa Boholm is Professor of Social Anthropology at Gothenburg University, Sweden, and has published on historical, cultural, organizational and institutional dimensions of risk for over twenty years.
