1. The Age of Ambivalence -- 2. Conceptual Frames: Risk and Intersectionality -- 3. Risk, Inequality, and (Post) Structure: Risks as Governing -- 4. The Performative Aspects of Risk and the Constitution of Subjects -- 5. Doing, Redoing, and Doing Away: Performing Risk -- 6. The Lived Experience of Risk: Multiple Standpoints and Agencies -- 7. Risk Networks: Actors, Actants, and Assemblages -- 8. Methodological Applications -- 9. Risk, Intersectionality, and Ambivalence-A Way to Understand Inequality -- Epilogue: Imagining the Future Differently.

This book brings feminist theories and concepts to the sociology of risk in an attempt to carve out a framework for intersectional risk theories in times of ambivalence. The authors purport that risk is pervasive in the Global North, and is fast becoming a hegemonic governing principle. In order to understand this crucial aspect of society, sociological risk theories and risk analysis must go beyond power and social inequalities, to incorporate an intersectional risk approach that takes into account gender, race and other critical perspectives. Their proposed framework will provide the tools to assess how risk is situated in different configurations of power, revealing cracks and openings in the weft of power and rethinking risk governance in contemporary society. By utilising an intersectional and nuanced analysis, the everyday understanding, practices and discourses of risk can be explored and better understood. This book will be of interest to scholars and students who value the importance of establishing interdisciplinary networks between risk theory, sociology, politics and more in order to study the contemporary world.
