For several decades he has provided compelling analyses and diagnoses of a vast variety of aspects of modern and liquid modern living. The Sociology of Zygmunt Bauman introduces and critically appraises some of the most significant as well as the lesser known and overlooked of Bauman's contributions to contemporary sociology: ethics, freedom, utopia, genocide, metaphors, ambivalence, politics, strangers, globalization, power and consumerism. In this collection, an international team of scholars delineates and discusses how Bauman's treatment of these themes challenges conventional wisdom in sociology, thereby revising and revitalizing sociology theory."--BOOK JACKET. |
