Book Synopsis Risk and Blame by : Professor Mary Douglas

Download or read book Risk and Blame written by Professor Mary Douglas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1992, this volume follows on from the programme for studying risk and blame that was implied in Purity and Danger. The first half of the book Douglas argues that the study of risk needs a systematic framework of political and cultural comparison. In the latter half she examines questions in cultural theory. Through the eleven essays contained in Risk and Blame, Douglas argues that the prominence of risk discourse will force upon the social sciences a programme of rethinking and consolidation that will include anthropological approaches.
