Abstract

[This chapter continues the exploration of risk in relation to structure by introducing normalisation, interpellation, and performativity in relation to risk. Normalisation combined with intersectionality enables an analysis of normative notions of risk governance, where biopolitics, biopower, and ethopower are key concepts. A large part of the chapter presents and discusses Judith Butler’s theoretical development of performativity and interpellation, and how her insights can contribute to the understanding of ‘at-risk’ and ‘risky’ subject positions. This discussion is followed by a section which engages in the moral aspects of risk and self-governance through moral and performative discourses.]
