Recenzje

'Zygmunt Bauman's work on culture and art is important in aiding our understanding of the origins of his best-known ideas, as well as in offering a plethora of new ones. They all have great implications for understanding the social world.'George Ritzer, University of Maryland'A set of beguiling essays. Bauman's ideas remain fresh and remarkably stimulating. He teases out the cultural contradictions of the late modern age with extraordinary delicacy.'Anthony Elliott, University of South Australia'This is fascinating reading.'Thesis Eleven'A remarkable tool for understanding the nuances of an extensive and nuanced corpus of writings.'Theory, Culture and Society
