"Manufactured risks are the product of human activity." Ulrich Beck

" A "risk society"
is a sociological concept describing a stage of modernity where society is increasingly defined by and organized around managing the hazards and insecurities it has produced itself through modernization and industrialization.

Self-produced risks: The primary source of risk is not nature, but human actions and the unintended consequences of modernization itself.

Individualization: Individuals are increasingly forced to confront these risks personally, with a greater emphasis on individual choice and responsibility in the face of larger, systemic problems

Ulrich Beck defines it as "a systematic way of dealing with hazards and insecurities induced and introduced by modernisation itself". "

" The Study of Existential Risk
frames the rises and falls of civilisation around the idea of the “Goliath”, a hierarchy that dominates labour and energy through coercion and violence."

"Our research shows how there are nascent attempts to embed citizens into decision making by re-plumbing democracy, flattening hierarchies and constructing more dynamic feedback loops that have real consequence."

The anxiety of individualisation

From On Anxiety by Reneta Salecl, loc 2092:

The Other is for the subject always ‘anxiogen’, since it constantly forces the subject to ask ‘Who am I?’, and especially, ‘Who am I for the Other?’ However, as this book has shown, in post-industrial societies, the subject is also perceived as a self-inventor and as someone who is actually freer from the constraints of other people than our predecessors. So if, on the one hand the subject is still concerned about the question about the desire of the Other (i.e. how others regard them and how they are regarded in society as a whole), on the other hand, the subject is under pressure to make a choice about his or her life independently of social constraints.

Atomised society has stitched itself back together and it’s pretty awful really

There was this period we talked about a lot of a very rapid atomisation from the late 60s through to the 90s and early 00s. My sense is that the internet has reversed some of that, people have stitched themselves back together in new kinds of ways. That has happened in a context where there hasn’t been much political organising on the ground, but there has been a lot of political ideas and people have attached themselves to them.
