{"product_id":"liquid-modernity-copy","title":"Liquid Modernity","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis book is dedicated to this task. Bauman selects five of the basic concepts which have served to make sense of shared human life - emancipation, individuality, time\/space, work and community - and traces their successive incarnations and changes of meaning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eLiquid Modernity\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e concludes the analysis undertaken in Bauman's two previous books \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eGlobalization: The Human Consequences\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eIn Search of Politics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
