This book brings feminist theories and concepts to the sociology of risk in an attempt to carve out a framework for intersectional risk theories in times of ambivalence. The authors purport that risk is pervasive in the Global North, and is fast becoming a hegemonic governing principle. In order to understand this crucial aspect of society, sociological risk theories and risk analysis must go beyond power and social inequalities, to incorporate an intersectional risk approach that takes into account gender, race and other critical perspectives. Their proposed framework will provide the tools to assess how risk is situated in different configurations of power, revealing cracks and openings in the weft of power and rethinking risk governance in contemporary society. By utilising an intersectional and nuanced analysis, the everyday understanding, practices and discourses of risk can be explored and better understood. This book will be of interest to scholars and students who value the importance of establishing interdisciplinary networks between risk theory, sociology, politics and more in order to study the contemporary world.

Kultur är ett värdeladdat begrepp, både gränslöst och begränsande, fint och fult. Det kan uppfattas som oklart och hotfullt och samtidigt erbjuder det utrymme för nya ordningar. Likt ett mellanrum kan det vara svårt att beskriva och bestämma. Vad händer med kulturen om vi sätter den samman med hållbarhet, vad händer med hållbarheten om vi sätter den samman med kultur? Det är i korthet vad den här boken handlar om, en bok som uppehåller sig i mellanrummet, utan avsikt att vare sig börja eller sluta i en definition; istället vill vi med hjälp av kultur utforska om förbindelser mellan olika dimensioner kan tänkas uppstå, till och med mellan de mest motsägelsefulla utgångspunkter. I några av kapitlen närmar sig författarna hållbarhet ur ett kulturperspektiv medan andra snarare närmar sig kultur ur ett hållbarhetsperspektiv. Arton forskare inom sociologi, litteraturvetenskap, biologi, etnografi, genusvetenskap och statsvetenskap diskuterar här frågan ?Kulturell hållbarhet -- vad är det?? Bidragen rör sig från Sápmi till Röda havet, från politiska barnböcker till kommunal vardag, från skrivprojekt inom vården till människans självbild under antropocen: allt i syfte att se nya dimensioner av hållbarheten. "Ett kulturellt perspektiv på hållbarhet pekar också på vikten av att se på exempelvis konsumtionspraktiker som en del av kulturella processer och som något som får betydelse i och genom relationer till andra delar av livet. Det är bara när hållbarhetstankarna uppfattas som meningsfulla, och görbara, i förhållande till livet i stort, som de får genomslag", skriver etnologen Magdalena Petersson McIntyre i förordet.

"In the modern globalized world of work, society's capitalist and patriarchal norms perpetuate old and create new differences based on gender, class, ethnicity, age, and other social categorizations. This book proposes a novel conceptual framework offering theoretical and methodological insights for thinking through the present and future inequality challenges in the globalized world of work and working life issues in the context of spatio-temporal relations. Bringing together global feminist studies of intersectionality and transnationalism, work-life research, and studies of space, place, and identity, this edited collection responds to the growing interest in peripheries, rurality, and other spaces beyond the urban and business market centers. In crossing the theoretical boundaries between intersectionality and peripherality, this volume brings these concepts together to identify how racism, capitalism and heteropatriarchy operate on bodies in the name of work, particularly as expressed in precarious labour conditions. It also advocates for transnational solidarity as part of feminist ethics, while providing an opportunity to reflect on ways forward for feminist intersectional studies of work and working life, drawing on embodied relationality and a feminist ethics of care. Working Life and Gender Inequality explores the intersectional nature of gender, class, race and other inequalities from a global and spatial perspective. It will be of value to researchers, academics, students, managers, consultants, and policy makers in the fields of organizational studies, leadership, feminist and gender studies, working life, intersectionality and transnational feminism"--
