Liquid Sociology (eBook, ePUB)

Metaphor in Zygmunt Bauman's Analysis of Modernity
Redaktion: Davis, Mark

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Each chapter in this unique collection takes seriously Bauman's analysis of modernity as 'liquid', throwing new light upon global social problems, as well as opening up a space for assessing the nature of Bauman's contribution to sociology, and for understanding what may be gained and lost by embracing an artistic sensibility within the social sciences. With contributions from internationally renowned scholars, this book will appeal to all those interested in Bauman's work, especially within sociology, social, political and cultural theory, and to anyone curious about the value of metaphor in interpreting the social world.
