Zygmunt Bauman's 'liquid sociology' confronts the awesome task of
reminding individual men and women that an alternative way of
living together is within our eminent capabilities, if only we
start to think differently about our world. The metaphor of
'liquidity', which has become such a prominent feature of his
writings since 2000, provides us with just such a new
interpretation, with a novel 'way of seeing'. Each chapter in this
unique collection takes seriously Bauman's analysis of modernity as
'liquid', throwing new light upon global social problems, as well
as opening up a space for assessing the nature of Bauman's
contribution to sociology, and for understanding what may be gained
and lost by embracing an artistic sensibility within the social
sciences. With contributions from internationally renowned
scholars, this book will appeal to all those interested in Bauman's
work, especially within sociology, social, political and cultural
theory, and to anyone curious about the value of metaphor in
interpreting the social world.
