Abstract
Ulrich Beck, ilk olarak 1986 yılında yayınlanan Risk Toplumu adlı kitabı ile, Batı Almanya’da 1970’lerden beri sanayi toplumunun ve siyasalın içsel dinamiklerinin modernite bağlamında önemli bir dönüşüm içerisinde olduğunu savunmaktadır. Ancak kitabın temel savları her ne kadar Almanya örneğinden hareket etse de yapısı itibariyle genellenebilir bir içeriğe dayanmaktadır. Beck’in öngördüğü bu dönüşüm süreci, temellerini sanayi toplumuyla yaratılan moderniteden almakta; ancak onu tamamen reddetmeden belirli kesintilerle sürekliliğine işaret etmektedir. Bu anlamda kitabın ana teması olan “risk toplumu”, klasik sanayi toplumunun yeniden biçimlenişi ile ortaya çıkan ve modernliğin sürekliliği dâhilinde yeni bir toplumsal biçimi ifade etmektedir. Beck’e göre, modernleşme, 19. yy’da tarım toplumunu tasfiye edip sanayi toplumunun yapısal temellerini atmıştı. Bugün de modernleşme, refleksif (reflexive) bir süreç bağlamında, sanayi toplumunun öncüllerini ve işlevsel ilkelerini baltalayarak kendi kendini hedef alıyor ve nihayetinde kendisini konu ve sorun haline getiriyor.
In his book “Risk Society – Towards a New Modernity” published in 1986, Ulrich Beck argues that since the 1970s in West Germany, the internal dynamics of industrial society and politics have been undergoing a significant transformation in the context of modernity. Although the main arguments of the book are based on the example of Germany, it presents a generalizable structure. This transformation process, which Ulrich Beck has foreseen, takes its foundations from the modernity created by industrial society; nevertheless he does not completely reject it, but points to the continuity with certain interruptions. In this sense, the main theme of the book, "risk society", is a new social form which emerges with the reconstruction of the classical industrial society and within the continuity of modernity. According to Ulrich Beck, the modernization process, in the 19th century, dismantled the agrarian society and laid the structural foundation of the industrial society. And today, modernization, in the context of a reflexive process, is self-targeting by undermining the premises and functional principles of the industrial society and ultimately makes itself the “subject” and the “problematic”.
