| Tiivistelmä: | Enactment is studied here as significant new form of knowledge about collective life that differs fundamentally from familiar forms of "social" knowledge. The emergence of enactment is traced through a series of domains where the problem of estimating the likelihood and consequence of potentially catastrophic future events has been made an explicit object of expert reflection: response to a possible nuclear attack in US civil defence planning in the late 1940s; the emergence of natural hazard modelling in 1960s and 1970s; and the emergence today of terrorism risk assessment and its proposed application to federal budgetary distributions. |
