Modes of Uncertainty offers groundbreaking ways of thinking about danger, risk, and uncertainty from an analytical and anthropological perspective. Our world, the contributors show, is increasingly populated by forms, practices, and events whose uncertainty cannot be reduced to risk-and thus it is vital to distinguish between the two. Drawing the lines between them, they argue that the study of uncertainty should not focus solely on the appearance of new risks and dangers-which no doubt abound-but also on how uncertainty itself should be defined, and what the implications might be for policy and government. Organizing contributions from various anthropological subfields-including economics, business, security, humanitarianism, health, and environment-Limor Samimian-Darash and Paul Rabinow offer new tools with which to consider uncertainty, its management, and the differing modes of subjectivity appropriate to it. Taking up policies and experiences as objects of research and analysis, the essays here seek a rigorous inquiry into a sound conceptualization of uncertainty in order to better confront contemporary problems. Ultimately, they open the way for a participatory anthropology that asks crucial questions about our contemporary state.

Die umfassende gesellschaftspolitische Problematik von Sicherheit und Risiko in den globalisierten westlichen Gesellschaften ist nicht erst seit »9/11« oder der aktuellen Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise virulent. Dieser Band versammelt die wichtigsten Stimmen der sozial-, kultur- und humanwissenschaftlichen Disziplinen, um nicht nur grundlegend in die Thematik einzuführen, sondern auch, um Antworten zu geben auf die Frage nach dem rasanten Wandel unseres Verständnisses von Gefahr, Bedrohung, Unsicherheit und riskantem Verhalten. »Die in der Berliner Ringvorlesung dargestellten Reflexionen bilden [...] einen Ausschnitt aus den nationalen und internationalen gesellschaftlichen Diskursen ab. Weil Begriffe immer auch Meinungen, Positionen und Einstellungen ausdrücken und gerieren, kann der Sammelband dazu beitragen, die verwirrende, ideologisierte Situation zu klären, die sich in unserer Gesellschaft um den Begriff Sicherheit rankt.« Jos Schnurer, www.socialnet.de, 10.06.2010 »Die thematische Breite und die Aktualität des Bandes [zeigen] insgesamt eindrucksvoll die Perspektiven auf, wie das Forschungsfeld auch in einem größeren interdisziplinären Rahmen weiterzuverfolgen wäre.« Achim Saupe, H-Soz-u-Kult, 06.09.2010 »Münkler schreibt uns die Aporien in seiner anmutigen Prosa noch kritischer ins Stammbuch.« Milos Vec, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 02.09.2010 Besprochen in: Badische Zeitung, 04.09.2010, Hans-Georg Deggau Technikgeschichte, 78/4 (2012), Helmuth Trischler
