Description: In a 2006 special issue of the journal Health) Risk and Society, Iain Wilkinson (2006, p. 4) writes about the importance of focusing on both personal risk emotions and broader cultural representations in analyzing major traumatic events. Wilkinson's preference is for an emphasis on how suffering is culturally expressed in contrast to policy-led needs of "expert" discourse, and I want to extend this preference in the first half of my chapter to subjective negotiation with professional and political discourse through the mass media.
