Society Under Siege
Is there still a society in the traditional sense of the term, in other words: closeness, proximity, aggregation, reciprocal ties between people? We are alone, chronically anxious, hyper-competitive. We are under siege. This is what Bauman writes about in his wonderful book: scarcely sociological in the traditional sense, absorbing and warm.
Lelio Demichelis, Tuttolibri
An unflinching look at contemporary metropolises. Zygmunt Bauman is one of the most eminent theorists of post-modernity.
