Description

[Machine Translation] The eminent scholar who vividly analyzed the essence of late modernity with the concept of "liquid modernity" and opened up a new horizon in contemporary sociology will elucidate the concrete aspects of "liquefied society" from familiar events, incidents, and the state of the world. In today's world, nothing is certain anymore, and nothing has remained unchanged for a long time. Dramatic changes in relationships between parents and children, friends, and the opposite sex; recession and disparity; educational problems; the global environment; health and disease; epidemics.... Underneath these seemingly disparate and unrelated events, the author listens to a common tone and seeks a way to live well while confronting the difficulties of the times. A sincere and poignant sociological essay written plainly for a wide readership. New translation and library original.

Description in Japanese

リキッド・モダニティを読みとく 液状化した現代世界からの44通の手紙 / 原タイトル:44 LETTERS FROM THE LIQUID MODERN WORLD (ちくま学芸文庫) / ジグムント・バウマン/著 酒井邦秀/訳

「リキッド・モダニティ」という概念で後期近代の本質を鮮やかに析出し、現代社会学に新たな地平を拓いた碩学が、身近な出来事や事件、世相から“液状化社会”の具体相を解明する。長いあいだ変わらぬ“確かなもの”などもはや何一つない現代世界。親子や友人、異性との関係の劇的変化、不況と格差、教育問題、地球環境、健康と病気、流行...。一見バラバラでとりとめのない事象の根底に、著者はある通奏低音を聴きとり、時代の困難を直視しつつ、よく生きるための道を模索する。広く一般の読者に向けて平明に綴った、真摯で痛切な社会学的エッセイ。新訳・文庫オリジナル。
