Book, What is sociology for? dialogues with Michael Hviid Jaco[LS]

From the same author of the bestseller Liquid Love. Bauman offers a passionate and necessary statement about sociology and its critical role in building a less hostile world. What is sociology? Why study sociology? How to make? What is your reach? These four questions are answered by Zygmunt Bauman, the most brilliant sociologist of our time, in a series of conversations with Michael Hviid Jacobsen and Keith Tester. Bauman clarifies, in a passionate and engaging statement, the principles that govern his own work, his life and his career. He recognizes the ideas that influenced him and reports how he ended up building a set of concepts to interpret the contemporary world - such as the central idea of ​​"liquidity" -, explaining why he moved away from the general current of sociology, which characterizes our era as " postmodern". This book is an appeal to stop being victims of circumstances and take the direction of our history in our own hands.
