In this new book, Bauman examines how we have moved away from a 'heavy' and 'solid', hardware-focused modernity to a 'light' and 'liquid', software-based modernity. This passage, he argues, has brought profound change to all aspects of the human condition. The new remoteness and un-reachability of global systemic structure coupled with the unstructured and under-defined, fluid state of the immediate setting of life-politics and human togetherness, call for the rethinking of the concepts and cognitive frames used to narrate human individual experience and their joint history. This book is dedicated to this task. Bauman selects five of the basic concepts which have served to make sense of shared human life - emancipation, individuality, time/space, work and community - and traces their successive incarnations and changes of meaning. Liquid Modernity concludes the analysis undertaken in Bauman's two previous books Globalization: The Human Consequences and In Search of Politics . Together these volumes form a brilliant analysis of the changing conditions of social and political life by one of the most original thinkers writing today.
Zygmunt Bauman is Professor Emeritus of Sociology at the Universities of Leeds and Warsaw.

完蛋。虽然没明确分期但quote基本都是同期的(90s);描述的也都是后福特/新自由主义(80s)后的现象…不过鲍曼2000年就对公共领域私人化的这一忧虑在今日此地刚得到印证。从他的论述很可以看出talk show的问题,很多反讽远远达不到所谓poaching…

Bauman您的风格就是混乱+花里胡哨吧…相比之下Beck真是太平易近人了

精彩,要是英文能更简洁浅白一些,我会推荐作为每个受过高等教育的人的必读书。中译还是算了,如果没有在英文环境下的多年社科人文写作经验,很难相信能翻译好。
