Abstract:
Risk as an operational concept has become a cross-cutting concept into a global environment. Its visibility has greatly increased through the movement of communicative discourses that shapes it and gives meaning to it. Beyond the acknowledged role of the media, the constitutive nature of communication goes over the institutional, scientific and citizen logics. This research argues, beyond its practical and instrumental logics, the social communication of risk as those processes which it is defined by the circulation of discourses among risk communication communities as an object to explore. As a case study, it examines the emergence of climate change and its influence on nuclear and chemical risks in the European Union, highlighting the potentialities of risk communication as a practical discipline reformulated from a communicative approach.
