A rethinking of the concepts and cognitive frames used to narrate human individual experience and their joint history.
Liquid ModernityZYGMUNT BAUMANBauman 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.

State of CrisisZYGMUNT BAUMAN AND CARLO BORDONIBauman and Bordoni explore the social and political dimensions of the current crisis.

A critique of the current, unprecedented, indefensible and still accelerating growth in social inequality.
Does the Richness of the Few Benefit Us All?ZYGMUNT BAUMANIt is commonly assumed that the best way to help the poor out of their misery is to allow the rich to get richer; and yet these commonly held beliefs are flatly contradicted by our daily experience and an abundance of research findings, so why are these opinions so widespread? This short book by Bauman is an attempt to answer this question.

What Use is Sociology?: Conversations with Michael Hviid Jacobsen and Keith Tester
ZYGMUNT BAUMAN, MICHAEL HVIID JACOBSEN AND KEITH TESTER In a series of conversations with Michael Hviid Jacobsen and Keith Tester, Bauman explains why sociology is necessary if we hope to live fully human lives.

“An insightful reflection on the pursuit of happiness…”
The Art of Life ZYGMUNT BAUMANThis is not a book of designs for the art of life nor a ‘how to’ book: it is instead a brilliant account of conditions under which our designs-for-life are chosen, of the constraints that might be imposed on their choice and of the interplay of design, accident and character that shape their implementation. Last but not least, it is a study of the ways in which our society influences the way we construct and narrate our life trajectories.
