Synopsis

Who are the targets of the risk media? Who are most in danger? Who produces the conditions for risk emergence? Who manages risk? Who lives with it? These vectors-the when, where, how, and who-of risk media define the concerns of this volume, which aims to define, historicize, and critically consolidate current humanities scholarship on global media and risk. With roots in critical media studies and science and technology studies, this highly interdisciplinary collection hopes to inspire new questions, perspectives, frameworks, and analytical tools for the study of risk media.
