Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the 'risk society', uncertainty as a source of risk is perceived as something to be avoided and eliminated. This study aimed to reevaluate and reconsider the creative aspects of uncertainty, or the ways in which uncertainty is not necessarily something that should be eliminated and managed, instead of viewing it only as something that should be eliminated and managed. We carried out literature and field research related to uncertainty and were able to reconsider the way uncertainty rises and the concept of uncertainty in their respective research subjects.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

人類学や社会学では、「リスク社会」を、あらゆるリスクが可視化され、人々はそれらを自己責任として引き受けることを強いられ、リスクに対する恐怖と不安に満ちた生きづらい社会として描写しがちである。ところが、「リスク社会」の克服と抵抗の仕方に、未だ納得のいく説明やビジョンが提示されたことはない。リスクだけでなく不確実性を射程に入れ、現実の多様性・多面性・複雑さ・オルタナティブ像の描写を重ねていくことで、「リスク社会」における別様の可能性を提示できる。
