Wasted Lives: Modernity and Its Outcasts
ISBN: 9780745631653 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The production of 'human waste' - or more precisely, wasted lives, the 'superfluous' populations of migrants, refugees and other outcasts - is an inevitable outcome of modernization. It is an unavoidable side-effect of economic progress and the quest for order which is characteristic of modernity.
As long as large parts of the world remained wholly or partly unaffected by modernization, they were treated by modernizing societies as lands that were able to absorb the excess of population in the 'developed countries'. Global solutions were sought, and... The production of 'human waste' - or more precisely, wasted lives, the 'superfluous' populations of migrants, refugees and other outcasts - is an inev...

Globalization: The Human Consequences
ISBN: 9780745620138 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. 'Globalization' is a word that is currently much in use. This book is an attempt to show that there is far more to globalization than its surface manifestations. Unpacking the social roots and social consequences of globalizing processes, this book disperses some of the mist that surrounds the term.
Alongside the emerging planetary dimensions of business, finance, trade and information flow, a 'localizing', space-fixing process is set in motion. What appears as globalization for some, means localization for many others; signalling new freedom for some, globalizing... 'Globalization' is a word that is currently much in use.

Liquid Fear
ISBN: 9780745636801 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Modernity was supposed to be the period in human history when the fears that pervaded social life in the past could be left behind and human beings could at last take control of their lives and tame the uncontrolled forces of the social and natural worlds. And yet, at the dawn of the twenty-first century, we live again in a time of fear. Whether its the fear of natural disasters, the fear of environmental catastrophes or the fear of indiscriminate terrorist attacks, we live today in a state of constant anxiety about the dangers that could strike unannounced and at any moment. Fear is the name...

Retrotopia
ISBN: 9781509515325 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. We have long since lost our faith in the idea that human beings could achieve human happiness in some future ideal state ? a state that Thomas More, writing five centuries ago, tied to a topos, a fixed place, a land, an island, a sovereign state under a wise and benevolent ruler. But while we have lost our faith in utopias of all hues, the human aspiration that made this vision so compelling has not died. Instead it is re-emerging today as a vision focused not on the future but on the past, not on a future-to-be-created but on an abandoned and undead past that we could call...

Liquid Love: On the Frailty of Human Bonds
ISBN: 9780745624891 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book is about the central figure of our contemporary, 'liquid modern' times - the man or woman with no bonds, and particularly with none of the fixed or durable bonds that would allow the effort of self-definition and self-assertion to come to a rest. Having no permanent bonds, the denizen of our liquid modern society must tie whatever bonds they can to engage with others, using their own wits, skill and dedication. But none of these bonds are guaranteed to last. Moreover, they must be tied loosely so that they can be untied again, quickly and as effortlessly as possible, when...

Modernity and the Holocaust
ISBN: 9780745609300 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Sociology is concerned with modern society, but has never come to terms with one of the most distinctive and horrific aspects of modernity - the Holocaust.
The book examines what sociology can teach us about the Holocaust, but more particularly concentrates upon the lessons which the Holocaust has for sociology. Bauman's work demonstrates that the Holocaust has to be understood as deeply involved with the nature of modernity. There is nothing comparable to this work available in the sociological literature. Sociology is concerned with modern society, but has never come to terms with one of the most distinctive and horrific aspects of modernity - the Holoc...

Identity: Coversations with Benedetto Vecchi
ISBN: 9780745633091 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This topical new book by Zygmunt Bauman explores the notion of identity in the modern world.
As we grapple with the insecurity and uncertainty of liquid modernity, Bauman argues that our socio-political, cultural, professional, religious and sexual identities are undergoing a process of continual transformation. Identities the world over have become more precarious than ever: we live in an era of constant change and disposability - whether it's last season's outfit, or car, or even partner - and our identities as a result have become transient and...

Strangers at Our Door
ISBN: 9781509512171 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Refugees from the violence of wars and the brutality of famished lives have knocked on other people's doors since the beginning of time. For the people behind the doors, these uninvited guests were always strangers, and strangers tend to generate fear and anxiety precisely because they are unknown. Today we find ourselves confronted with an extreme form of this historical dynamic, as our TV screens and newspapers are filled with accounts of a 'migration crisis', ostensibly overwhelming Europe and portending the collapse of our way of life. This anxious debate has given rise to a veritable...

Liquid Modernity
ISBN: 9780745624105 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this new book, Bauman examines how we have moved away from a 'heavy' and 'solid', hardware-focused modernity to a 'light' and 'liquid', software-based modernity. This passage, he argues, has brought profound change to all aspects of the human condition. The new remoteness and un-reachability of global systemic structure coupled with the unstructured and under-defined, fluid state of the immediate setting of life-politics and human togetherness, call for the rethinking of the concepts and cognitive frames used to narrate human individual experience and their joint history.
This... In this new book, Bauman examines how we have moved away from a 'heavy' and 'solid', hardware-focused modernity to a 'light' and 'liquid', software-ba...

Liquid Life
ISBN: 9780745635156 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. 'Liquid life' is the kind of life commonly lived in our contemporary, liquid-modern society. Liquid life cannot stay on course, as liquid-modern society cannot keep its shape for long. Liquid life is a precarious life, lived under conditions of constant uncertainty.
The most acute and stubborn worries that haunt this liquid life are the fears of being caught napping, of failing to catch up with fast moving events, of overlooking the 'use by' dates and being saddled with worthless possessions, of missing the moment calling for a change of tack and being left behind. Liquid life is... 'Liquid life' is the kind of life commonly lived in our contemporary, liquid-modern society. Liquid life cannot stay on course, as liquid-modern socie...

Community: Seeking Safety in an Insecure World
ISBN: 9780745626352 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. 'Community' is one of those words that feels good: it is good 'to have a community', 'to be in a community'. And 'community' feels good because of the meanings which the word conveys, all of them promising pleasures, and more often than not the kind of pleasures which we would like to experience but seem to miss.
'Community' conveys the image of a warm and comfortable place, like a fireplace at which we warm our hands on a frosty day. Out there, in the street, all sorts of dangers lie in ambush; in here, in the community, we can relax and feel safe. 'Community' stands for...

Liquid Times: Living in an Age of Uncertainty
ISBN: 9780745639871 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The passage from 'solid' to 'liquid' modernity has created a new and unprecedented setting for individual life pursuits, confronting individuals with a series of challenges never before encountered. Social forms and institutions no longer have enough time to solidify and cannot serve as frames of reference for human actions and long-term life plans, so individuals have to find other ways to organise their lives. They have to splice together an unending series of short-term projects and episodes that don't add up to the kind of sequence to which concepts like 'career' and 'progress' could...
