(P/B) MODERNITY AND THE HOLOCAUST
Εκδότης: POLITY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3482-0133

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.

(P/B) LIQUID LOVE
Εκδότης: POLITY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3482-0022

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, qu...

(P/B) LIQUID EVIL
Εκδότης: POLITY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3482-0488

There is nothing new about evil; it has been with us since time immemorial. But there is something new about the kind of evil that characterizes our contemporary liquid-modern world. The evil that characterized earlier forms of solid modernity was concentrated in the hands of states claiming monopolies on the means of coercion and using the means at their disposal to pursue their ends ends that were at times horrifically brutal and barbaric. In our contemporary liquid-modern societies, by contrast, evil has become altogether more pervasive...

(P/B) COMMUNITY
SEEKING SAFETY IN AN INSECURE WORLD
Εκδότης: POLITY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3482-0019

'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 ...

(P/B) LIQUID TIMES
LIVING IN AN AGE OF UNCERTAINTY
Εκδότης: POLITY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3482-0249

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 organize 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 ...

Η ΝΕΩΤΕΡΙΚΟΤΗΤΑ ΣΕ ΚΡΙΣΗ
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4350-0633

«Η νεωτερικότητα σε κρίση» είναι το δεύτερο μέρος ενός διαλόγου πού διεξάγεται ανάμεσα στον Carlo Bordoni και τον Zygmunt Bauman και περιλαμβάνεται στον τόμο "State of Crisis" (Polity, Καίμπριτζ 2014). Τα άλλα δύο μέρη του διαλόγου στεγάζονται υπό τους τίτλους «Η κρίση του Κράτους» και «Η Δημοκρατία σε κρίση». Επιλέξαμε να παρουσιάσουμε το κεφάλαιο εκείνο στο οποίο ο προβληματισμός του διαλόγου επικεντρώνεται στην κρίση της νεωτερικότητας καθώς η κρίση των αξιών και των βεβαιοτήτων που αναλύεται εδώ αποτελεί επιτομή των υπόλοιπων παραμέτρω...

(P/B) SKETCHES IN THE THEORY OF CULTURE
Εκδότης: POLITY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3482-0545

Sketches in the Theory of Culture is a remarkable work by all measures. Written by Zygmunt Bauman when he was still a professor in Poland and originally intended for publication in 1968, it was suppressed by the Polish government in the wave of repression following the protests in March of that year. For decades it was thought to be lost. Astonishingly, it survived in the form of an uncorrected set of proofs which were recently discovered and which are the basis of this edition. Now published in English for the first time, this book sheds ...

(P/B) WHAT USE IS SOCIOLOGY?
CONVERSATIONS WITH MICHAEL HVIID JACOBSEN AND KEITH TESTER
Εκδότης: POLITY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3482-0490

What's the use of sociology? The question has been asked often enough and it leaves a lingering doubt in the minds of many. At a time when there is widespread scepticism about the value of sociology and of the social sciences generally, this short book by one of the world's leading thinkers offers a passionate, engaging and important statement of the need for sociology. In a series of conversations with Michael Hviid Jacobsen and Keith Tester, Zygmunt Bauman explains why sociology is necessary if we hope to live fully human lives. But the...

(P/B) STATE OF CRISIS
Εκδότης: POLITY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3482-0463

Today we hear much talk of crisis and comparisons are often made with the Great Depression of the 1930s, but there is a crucial difference that sets our current malaise apart from the 1930s: today we no longer trust in the capacity of the state to resolve the crisis and to chart a new way forward. In our increasingly globalized world, states have been stripped of much of their power to shape the course of events. Many of our problems are globally produced but the volume of power at the disposal of individual nation-states is simply not suf...

(P/B) PRACTICES OF SELFHOOD
Εκδότης: POLITY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3482-0491

Contemporary understanding of human subjectivity has come a long way since the Cartesian 'thinking thing' or Freud's view of the self struggling with its unconscious. We no longer think of ourselves as stable and indivisible units or combinations thereof - instead, we see the self as constantly reinvented and reorganised in interaction with others and with its social and cultural environments. But the world in which we live today is one of uncertainty where nothing can be taken for granted. Coping with change is a challenge but it also pre...

(P/B) GLOBALIZATION
THE HUMAN CONSEQUENCES
Εκδότης: POLITY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3482-0221

'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 fre...

(P/B) EUROPE
AN UNFINISHED ADVENTURE
Εκδότης: POLITY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3482-0017

More than ever before, our conflict-ridden, drifting planet needs the qualities that Europe, unique among the continents, has developed in more than two millennia of history: its self-criticism, its urge to self-transcendence, exploration and experiment, its conviction that alternative and better forms of human togetherness can be achieved, as well as its dedication to the cause of seeking and promoting this improvement in practice. But today Europe is unsure of itself and its place in a fast-changing world; it is devoid of vision, limited...

(P/B) STRANGERS AT OUR DOOR
Εκδότης: POLITY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3482-0489

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....

(P/B) THE ART OF LIFE
Εκδότης: POLITY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3482-0267

In our individualized society we are all artists of life -- whether we know it or not, will it or not and like it or not, by decree of society if not by our own choice. In this society we are all expected, rightly or wrongly, to give our lives purpose and form by using our own skills and resources, even if we lack the tools and materials with which artists' studios need to be equipped for the artist's work to be conceived and executed. And we are praised or censured for the results -- for what we have managed or failed to accomplish and fo...

(P/B) POSTMODERNITY AND ITS DISCONTENTS
Εκδότης: POLITY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3482-0220

When Freud wrote his classic Civilization and its Discontents, he was concerned with repression. Modern civilization depends upon the constraint of impulse, the limiting of self expression. Today, in the time of modernity, Bauman argues, Freud's analysis no longer holds good, if it ever did. The regulation of desire turns from an irritating necessity into an assault against individual freedom. In the postmodern era, the liberty of the individual is the overriding value, the criterion in terms of which all social rules and regulations are ...

(P/B) MODERNITY AND AMBIVALENCE
Εκδότης: POLITY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3482-0226

Modern civilization, Bauman argues, promised to make our lives understandable and open to our control. This has not happened and today we no longer believe it ever will. In this book, now available in paperback, Bauman argues that our postmodern age is the time for reconciliation with ambivalence, we must learn how to live in an incurably ambiguous world.

(P/B) LIQUID LIFE
Εκδότης: POLITY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3482-0219

'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 t...

(P/B) IN PRAISE OF LITERATURE
Εκδότης: POLITY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3482-0487

In this new book Zygmunt Bauman and Riccardo Mazzeo examine the contentious issue of the relation between literature (and the arts in general) and sociology (or, more generally, a branch of the humanities claiming scientific status). While many commentators see literature and sociology as radically different vocations, Bauman and Mazzeo argue that they are bound together by a common purpose and a shared subject matter. Despite the many differences in terms of their methods and their ways of presenting their findings, novels and sociologica...

(P/B) MORAL BLINDNESS
THE LOSS OF SENSITIVITY IN LIQUID MODERNITY
Εκδότης: POLITY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3482-0492

Evil is not confined to war or to circumstances in which people are acting under extreme duress. Today it more frequently reveals itself in the everyday insensitivity to the suffering of others, in the inability or refusal to understand them and in the casual turning away of one's ethical gaze. Evil and moral blindness lurk in what we take as normality and in the triviality and banality of everyday life, and not just in the abnormal and exceptional cases. The distinctive kind of moral blindness that characterizes our societies is brilliant...

(P/B) WASTED LIVES
Εκδότης: POLITY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3482-0021

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 sou...
