Born Liquid is the last work by the great sociologist and social
theorist Zygmunt Bauman, whose brilliant analyses of liquid
modernity changed the way we think about our world today. At the
time of his death, Bauman was working on this short book, a
conversation with the Italian journalist Thomas Leoncini, exactly
sixty years his junior. In these exchanges with Leoncini, Bauman
considers, for the first time, the world of those born after the
early 1980s, the individuals who were 'born liquid' and feel at
home in a society of constant flux. As always, taking his cue from
contemporary issues and debates, Bauman examines this world by
discussing what are often regarded as its most ephemeral features.
The transformation of the body - tattoos, cosmetic surgery,
hipsters - aggression, bullying, the Internet, online dating,
gender transitions and changing sexual preferences are all analysed
with characteristic brilliance in this concise and topical book,
which will be of particular interest to young people, natives of
the liquid modern world, as well as to Bauman's many readers of all
generations.
