«Temps líquids» is the sociology essay by Zygmunt Bauman, published by Viena in hardcover (136 pages, in Catalan).
Bauman describes the «liquid age»: a stage of uncertainty and dizzying change in which institutions no longer offer security. Individuals face unprecedented challenges alone, life fragments, and flexibility becomes the main virtue. He also addresses terrorism, refugees, and consumerism.
The book is part of the Carta blanca collection, number 9. It was originally published on October 26, 2007.
Aimed at the general public interested in sociology and in social analysis of today's world.
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.
