Bauman's Legacy

Examines the relevance of Bauman’s concept of liquid modernity, exploring his complex and multifaceted legacy, while emphasising his intentional avoidance of systematic theory in favour of a more nuanced, observational approach to society.

What remains of the idea of liquid modernity? Is Bauman’s thought still relevant? This volume aims to answer these questions, without forgetting the vastness and complexity of his work, where the idea of liquidity remains fundamental, before and after the central turning point of the year 2000.
