«Estado de crisis» is the sociological essay by Zygmunt Bauman and Carlo Bordoni, published by Ediciones Paidós in paperback (208 pages, in Spanish).
Bauman and Bordoni analyze the current crisis beyond the economic: they compare the situation with the Great Depression and stress that distrust towards the State, incapable of responding to global problems, has led to cynicism and civic disaffection. The crisis thus becomes a crisis of the capacity for action, of representative democracy and of state sovereignty.
«Estado de crisis» belongs to the Estado y Sociedad collection from Ediciones Paidós. The translation is by Albino Santos Mosquera.
Work aimed at the general public interested in sociology, political thought and analysis of the contemporary crisis.
Zygmunt Bauman was a Polish–British sociologist and philosopher. He was driven out of the Polish People's Republic during the 1968 Polish political crisis and forced to give up his Polish citizenship. He emigrated to Israel; three years later, he moved to the United Kingdom. He resided in England from 1971, where he studied at the London School of Economics and became Professor of Sociology at the University of Leeds, later emeritus. Bauman was a social theorist, writing on issues as diverse as modernity and the Holocaust, consumerism in postmodernity, and liquid modernity.
