Deze Poolse socioloog schreef een heel boeiend theoretisch boek over hoe de samenleving vandaag verandert.\n\nIn zijn boek <em>Liquid Modernity<\/em> onderzoekt Bauman hoe we van een \u2018zware\u2019 en \u2018vaste\u2019 moderniteit, gericht op hardware, zijn overgegaan naar een \u2018lichte\u2019 en \u2018vloeibare\u2019 moderniteit, gebaseerd op software. Die overgang, zo stelt hij, heeft alle aspecten van het menselijk bestaan grondig veranderd. De nieuwe afstand en onbereikbaarheid van de wereldwijde systeemstructuur, samen met de ongestructureerde, vaag omschreven en vloeibare toestand van de directe omgeving van levenspolitiek en menselijk samenzijn, vragen om een herziening van de begrippen en denkkaders waarmee we de individuele menselijke ervaring en onze gezamenlijke geschiedenis vertellen.\n\nLees het boek: <a href=\"http:\/\/quidditas.net\/hist452\/s1\/Bauman%20Liquid%20Modernity.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">pdf<\/a>","seo_titel":"","seo_titel_nl":"","omschrijving":"","omschrijving_nl":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=161"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":448,"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161\/revisions\/448"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/164"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
