Book, Liquid times[LS]

A deep reflection on insecurity, especially in big cities. Terrorism, unemployment, loneliness – typical phenomena of an era in which, for Bauman, exclusion and the disintegration of solidarity expose man to his most serious fears. Liquid Times shows how cities, which were originally built to provide citizen protection, have become an unsafe environment. "Bauman's ideas are strong. The contemporary world is, in fact, infested with fluid emotions, which transform life into a quick and depthless experience – as if living were gliding over the waters of a swimming pool."
