Description

Explore the evolution of global threats in Fiction in the Age of Risk, published by Routledge. This work examines the concept of the Risk Society first theorized by Ulrich Beck in 1986. While the era of the Cold War and the constant threat of nuclear annihilation has changed, the fundamental questions regarding safety and security remain vital. This book investigates how the sensation of risk has mutated over the last three decades. It looks at whether contemporary fiction provides evidence of these shifts in our perception of danger. As the immediate fear of mutually assured destruction from World War Three seems to have lessened, the text explores the paradox of why social goals for security seem harder to achieve than ever before. This is an essential read for those interested in how literature reflects the changing landscape of global anxiety and social stability.
