This commentary paper sets the six preceding studies within an emerging understanding of the character of risk and social interaction, and the wider social and organisational context: of shifting lay sensibilities towards risk, and the role of risk in shaping professional practices. It critically examines the explanatory potential of two approaches drawn from social theory--reflexive modernisation and governmentality--to encompass the specific features of these studies. It concludes that risk-related settings have the capacity to bring out certain inherent dimensions of social interaction in particularly forceful ways. This capacity leads to the existence of a sphere of situationally-specific interaction patterns, an understanding of which necessitates detailed empirical investigation. |
