Description: "This is the first book to provide a detailed critical assessment of Bauman's liquid turn in sociology. Anthony Elliott has selected representative extracts from Bauman's recent path-making work, ensuring The Contemporary Bauman provides critical appraisals of the theory of liquid modernity in terms of its implications for self-identity, interpersonal relationships, culture, communications and the broad-ranging institutional transformations associated with globalization."--Jacket.
