This book illuminates the importance of threat on the
representation of everyday life, from an interdisciplinary
perspective. Divided into three parts, the book sets out by
addressing the conceptual aspects of threat and by opening views on
phenomena and social processes associated with threat. It shows how
threat constitutes an analytical category that simultaneously
involves social, psychological, religious, historical and political
factors, and calls for a sufficiently broad conceptual definition
to integrate pluri-disciplinary contributions. The second part
focuses on the building of threats, mainly the environmental
threats that have reached a tragic dimension today and are a core
aspect of world concerns, the contemporary global terrorism, the
migrations and the challenges these bring to contemporary
societies, as well as the threats associated with the emergence of
nationalism and the diverse aspects of excluding the Other. The
final part examines the coping strategies, including oblivion,
denial and defiance associated with different sources of threats,
for instance those arising from epidemic and collective diseases,
financial technology, natural disasters and collective traumas.
