Abstract

[In this chapter, we relate our analysis of risk to what has sometimes been called ‘the material turn’ in the social sciences. We introduce some insights from this line of thinking that we consider important for an intersectional analysis of risk. Although it has not been elaborated upon in previous chapters, these bear some relation to the conceptual developments discussed so far, for example post structuralism and dualism. Following a brief overview of the materialist turn and how it contributes to our own framework, we consider the influence of new materialism on risk research. Returning to intersectional risk theory, we use different examples to illustrate what rejection of the dualist epistemology means (and does not mean) from our perspective.]
