State of Fear in a Liquid World

Více o knize

The book explores the pervasive insecurity in contemporary life, linking it to the breakdown of security ideals promised by modernity. It argues that in our 'liquid' world, insecurity is not only widespread but also accepted as a norm, yet this acceptance fails to alleviate the accompanying fear. Engaging with Bauman's concepts, it delves into the implications of liquid modernity, making it a valuable resource for scholars and students in sociology, social theory, and politics.
