LIQUID LOVE

內容簡介

內容簡介 This book is about the central figure of our contemporary, 'liquid modern' times - the man or woman with no bonds, and particularly with none of the fixed or durable bonds that would allow the effort of self-definition and self-assertion to come to a rest. Having no permanent bonds, the denizen of our liquid modern society must tie whatever bonds they can to engage with others, using their own wits, skill and dedication. But none of these bonds are guaranteed to last. Moreover, they must be tied loosely so that they can be untied again, quickly and as effortlessly as possible, when circumstances change - as they surely will in our liquid modern society, over and over again. The uncanny frailty of human bonds, the feeling of insecurity that frailty inspires, and the conflicting desires to tighten the bonds yet keep them loose, are the principal themes of this important new book by Zygmunt Bauman, one of the most original and influential social thinkers of our time. It will be of great interest to students and scholars in sociology and in the social sciences and humanities generally, and it will appeal to anyone interested in the changing nature of human relationships.

各界推薦 被稱為「後現代性預言家」的Bauman，嘗以液體的流動與多變性，來闡述現代社會瓦解傳統、不斷創新的重塑特質；新作將焦點置於人際聯結，因舊有家庭、階層、宗教、婚姻、情感維繫的關係，在現代變得脆弱而不可預期，個體在恐懼牽絆束縛的同時，又有尋找依靠的焦慮，如何平衡追求自由與歸屬間的角力，遂成為現代人的中心課題。
