Zygmunt Bauman is known internationally as the sociologist of
postmodernity and ‘liquid’ society. But he was also a serious
photographer. This book presents a selection of his black-and-white
photographs, together with a range of essays by colleagues, friends
and family about his work with images. The book features a mixture
of short pieces on individual photographs and longer essays
addressing aspects of Bauman’s photography and the life and work
of his wife, Janina. These include an essay of Bauman’s from
1989, in which he considers Monika Krajewska’s photographs of
abandoned Jewish graveyards in Poland. Also reprinted is an essay
by Bauman’s daughter Lydia, taken from the catalogue of an
exhibition of the photographs in 2010, and an essay by Keith Tester
about Bauman’s interest in film. Jack Palmer discusses the
relationship between Bauman’s sociology and his photography,
while Peter Beilharz, Janet Wolff, and Antony Bryant and Griselda
Pollock offer personal reflections on some of Bauman’s
photographs. The book concludes with an essay by Karl Dudman, one
of the Baumans’ grandchildren, based on a series of photographs
he took in the family home shortly after his grandfather’s death.
Janina Bauman appears in a number of ways in the book. Some of the
photographs are of her, and several of the short essays discuss her
place in Zygmunt’s life and work. Izabela Wagner, biographer of
Zygmunt Bauman, presents new material on Janina’s work in the
Polish film industry in the post-war period. -- .
