    • Abstract:
      This introduction presents a selection of papers from a conference organised by the ISA/ESA network on Sociology of Risk and Uncertainty, with the partnership of the Italian Sociological Association (AIS), in 2021 on the theme of «Multidimensional Risks in the XXI Century». The articles presented here are a selection of the papers discussed on that occasion and give an adequate feel of the shift in interest caused by the pandemic. They also show how – more often than not – things seem to unintentionally fit together in a wider, unexpected plan, allowing us to catch a glimpse of what Kauffman, citing Nagel, calls a «purposeless teleology» (2016, 197), according to which organization at times springs from apparent disorder.
