Chapter 1. Introduction: Ordinary life, extraordinary risk: On the normalisation of significant risk-taking in precarious contexts -- Part I. Self-Constitution: Defiance, endurance and choice -- Chapter 2. ‘Knowing how to walk’: Risk, violence and practices of endurance in urban Brazil -- Chapter 3. Risk negotiations in the mines of Potosí: Implications for rethinking current Health and Safety approaches -- Chapter 4. Regenerative medicine, unproven therapies and the framing of clinical risk -- Chapter 5. Commentary: Clear and present danger: Dodging and dealing with risk and uncertainty in everyday life -- Part II. Shifting dangers: Macro and micro politics of risk -- Chapter 6. ‘Keeping the conversation going’: Understanding risk in a context of escalating conflict in Syria -- Chapter 7. The Edgeworker’s Habitus: Climbing and Ordinary Risks -- Chapter 8. Commentary: Action, edgework, and the situated logics of risk -- Part III. Environmental threat and cultural possibility: Risk and the contemporary city -- Chapter 9. ‘Asılmak tehlikeli ve yasaktır’: Unintelligible mobility and uncertain manhood in Istanbul’s Old City -- Chapter 10.

Commentary: Interpretive risk ethnography as a means of understanding risk problems: Encounters with the ordinary-extraordinary and what comes after?

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. Beata Świtek is Assistant Professor at the Department of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Allen Abramson is a Senior Lecturer in Social Anthropology at University College London, UK. Hannah Swee is a climate and capacity building specialist for the United Nations.
