While some of the book is anachronistic (see his entries about Jane Fonda), Bauman is able to open our eyes to the fact that so many things that previously were relied on for support have slipped away from us in our pursuit of ultimate individuality. Particularly striking is Bauman's hypothesis that liberalism has lead us to this world of individuality which, while allows us to make our own way in the world and find our own purpose, when things go wrong, it is equally up to us to take care of ourselves. Social safety nets and a sense of community have all been reduced to near nothingness and this hyper-individuality removes our connection to the concept of the citizen while yearning to be part of something greater. He leaves me thinking about how we can find a middle ground between communitarianism and individualism, how we can rekindle the spirit of citizenship and involvement, and turn the concept of competition to something that benefits ALL people, not just the winners. بحث في الحداثة، يعالج تطورها من حال نشأتها - وهو ما أسماه الحداثة الصلبة - إلى حالها الآن، الذي أطلق عليه الحداثة السائلة ويشرح مظاهر ذلك التطور وتداعياته على الفرد والأمة وبُناها الاجتماعية والفكرية، وتمثُّلات تلك السيولة في موضوعات السياسة العالمية والاقتصاد والفن والإعلام، وذلك في إطار تحليلي نقدي والكتاب ثري، مكثف الأفكار، محيط بموضوعه من جوانب شتى.. والمؤلف بارع الأسلوب - ثقيله أحياناً - ذو ذائقة أدبية ازدان بها الكتاب، وترجمته جيدة.. وهو مطلع لسلسلة كتب أخرى، تفصّل جوانبه وتشرح محاوره ولعلّي في حاجة إلى قراءة ثانية له، لهضم جميع أفكاره، وربطها ذهنياً معاً.. وهو مهم وممتع، لا تمله القراءة الثانية وقد اقتبست منه أشياء، هي دونك أسفل هذه المراجعة Abbandonate ogni speranza di totalità, futura come passata, voi che entrate nel mondo della modernità liquida». La metafora della liquidità, da quando Bauman l’ha coniata, ha marcato i nostri anni ed è entrata nel linguaggio comune per descrivere la modernità nella quale viviamo. Individualizzata, privatizzata, incerta, flessibile, vulnerabile, nella quale a una libertà senza precedenti fanno da contraltare una gioia ambigua e un desiderio impossibile da saziare. Modernità liquida è un classico dei nostri giorni e un bestseller in Italia e all’estero. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

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, hasbrought profound change to all aspects of the human condition. Thenew remoteness and un-reachability of global systemic structurecoupled with the unstructured and under-defined, fluid state of theimmediate setting of life-politics and human togetherness, call forthe rethinking of the concepts and cognitive frames used to narratehuman individual experience and their joint history. This book is dedicated to this task. Bauman selects five of thebasic concepts which have served to make sense of shared human life- emancipation, individuality, time/space, work and community - andtraces their successive incarnations and changes of meaning. Liquid Modernity concludes the analysis undertaken inBauman's two previous books Globalization: The HumanConsequences and In Search of Politics. Together thesevolumes form a brilliant analysis of the changing conditions ofsocial and political life by one of the most original thinkerswriting today. No library descriptions found. |

Consiglio questo libro a chiunque si interroghi sull'evoluzione della nostra società. Sebbene alle volte Bauman sia un po' criptico (più per colpa delle mie scarse conoscenze in sociologia che per demeriti suoi), Modernità liquida vale decisamente lo sforzo.
Comprendere la propria sorte significa essere consci della sua differenza rispetto al proprio destino. E significa anche conoscere la complessa rete di cause che determinò quella sorte e la sua differenza rispetto a quel destino. Per operare nel mondo (anziché essere da questo manipolati) occorre conoscere il modo in cui opera. ( )
