The sociological imagination and the artistic imagination have been
historically intertwined, at once reciprocal and conflicting,
complementary and tensional. This connection is nowhere more
apparent than in the work of Zygmunt Bauman. His conception and
practice of sociology were always infused with a literary and
artistic sensibility. He wrote extensively on the relationship
between sociology and the arts, and especially on sociology and
literature; he frequently drew on literary writers in his
exploration and elucidation of sociological problems; and he was an
avid and passionate consumer and practitioner of art, especially
film and photography. This volume brings together hitherto unknown
or rare pieces by Bauman on the themes of culture and art,
including previously unpublished material from the Bauman Archive
at the University of Leeds. A substantial introduction by the
editors provides readers with a lucid guide through this material
and develops connections to Bauman's other works. The first volume
in a series of books that will make available the lesser-known
writings of one of the most influential social thinkers of our
time, Culture and Art will be of interest to students and scholars
across the arts, humanities and social sciences, and to a wider
readership.
