This volume grapples with this paradox, examining literary texts and performance media that include Amiri Baraka's Dutchman, Thornton Wilder's Our Town, John Edgar Wideman's The Cattle Killing, Anne Sexton's poetry, Toni Morrison's Sula and Song of Solomon, Don DeLillo's White Noise, and HBO's Six Feet Under.American literature20th centuryHistory and criticismDeath in literatureGhosts in literatureDeath in mass mediaElectronic books.American literatureHistory and criticism.Death in literature.Ghosts in literature.Death in mass media.810.9810.9/3548810.935480904Perdigao Lisa K915164Pizzato Mark1960-176859MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457107903321Death in twentieth-century American texts and performances2051047UNINA04313nam 2201177 a 450 991077808390332120230516193440.01-282-35523-697866123552330-520-90739-610.1525/9780520907393(CKB)1000000000765348(EBL)470821(OCoLC)609849891(SSID)ssj0000365380(PQKBManifestationID)12103458(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000365380(PQKBWorkID)10403097(PQKB)10375963(DE-B1597)520725(DE-B1597)9780520907393(Au-PeEL)EBL470821(CaPaEBR)ebr10676258(CaONFJC)MIL235523(MiAaPQ)EBC470821(EXLCZ)99100000000076534819841010d1982 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtccrRisk and culturean essay on the selection of technological and environmental dangersBerkeley University of California Press19821 online resource (232 p.)Description based upon print version of record.Includes bibliographical references and index.Frontmatter --Contents --Acknowledgments --Introduction: Can We Know The Risks We Face? --I.

No, we cannot; but yes, we must act as if we do. Some dangers are unknown; others are known, but not by us because no one person can know everything. Most people cannot be aware of most dangers at most times. Hence, no one can calculate precisely the total risk to be faced. How, then, do people decide which risks to take and which to ignore? On what basis are certain dangers guarded against and others relegated to secondary status? This book explores how we decide what risks to take and which to ignore, both as individuals and as a culture.Risk managementFBCRiskFBCRiskSocial aspectsFBCRisk assessmentEnvironmental impact analysisTechnologyRisk assessmentTeknologiFBCRisikoledelseFBCMiljøetFBCanthropology.climate change.conservation.crime.cultural theory of risk.danger.economy.environmentalism.fear.foreign affairs.foreign policy.global warming.government policy.hazard.law and order.media.nonfiction.personal politics.personal protection.political beliefs.politics.pollution.risk management.risk perception.sense of danger.social dangers.social issues.social organization.society.sociology.technology.worldview.Risk management.Risk.RiskSocial aspects.Risk assessment.Environmental impact analysis.TechnologyRisk assessment.TeknologiRisikoledelseMiljøet304zDouglas Mary, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.81710Wildavsky Aaron B229701Douglas Mary81710MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778083903321Risk and culture3827729UNINA
