What is 'liquid life'? It is the usual way of living in our contemporary modern societies. It is characterized by not maintaining any determined course since it is inscribed in a society that, as liquid, does not maintain the same form for a long time. What defines our lives is, therefore, constant precariousness and uncertainty. In this book, Bauman gives us a diagnosis of our societies that is accurate, sharp and immensely moving.
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.
