Abstract

[Turning to the phenomenology of risk, we unpack the theoretical underpinnings of intersectional risk theory, including standpoint theory, life-worlds, and embodiment. Here, we ask if it is possible to trace a conjunction amongst risk, power, and inequality in understandings of everyday practices of risk. Drawing particularly on feminist epistemologies based on the insights of standpoint theory together with Simone de Beauvoir’s writings on phenomenology, we want to pay attention to the importance of analyses of the subjective first-person character of risk awareness. Further, pursuing our interrogation of intersectional risk theory, we show how the subject can sometimes transcend both the social and the material when confronted with risk in everyday life. We believe that it is important to develop our understanding of agency, or agencies, to uncover the subject or more precisely, the individual reality of sensual and corporeal experience.]
