One of the most influential intellectuals of the twentieth and
twenty-first centuries, sociologist and philosopher Zygmunt Bauman
(1925-2017) made reflection on culture a fundamental part of his
academic work. He published a substantial number of papers on the
topic, and many of his concepts would go on to significantly
influence the social sciences and humanities. Bauman began his
theoretical studies on culture when working at the University of
Warsaw and continued them all his life. Inspired by the many
intellectual currents he encountered over his more than six decades
of work, Bauman wrote on culture in the contexts of such issues as
Marxism and socialism, modernity and the Holocaust, postmodernity
and liquid modernity, and contemporary nostalgia. In Zygmunt Bauman
and the Theory of Culture Dariusz Brzezinski uses the evolution of
Bauman's theory of culture as a prism through which to offer a
comparative analysis, putting Bauman's work in conversation with
the writings of other contemporary intellectuals. In this first
comprehensive and critical assessment of Bauman's lifelong work on
culture, Brzezinski includes Bauman's Polish-language papers and
books, as well as his works discovered only posthumously,
presenting them to an international audience.
