| Abstract | One of the provocations of Ulrich Beck's sociology of risk society is to assess its meaning for law and legal institutions. This lecture provides an account of a double challenge: first, to understand how conventional legal concepts may be complicit in the production and maintenance of systems of 'organized irresponsibility' ; and second, to consider how legal concepts may themselves be adapted to challenge this situation. These issues are addressed in the context of Beck's account of asymmetric practices of responsibility, reflexive modernization, and individualization. His final work introducing the notion of metamorphosis - reflecting changes to how we understand the meaning of change - in social theory and practice, and its potential implications for law, will also be addressed. |
