Zygmunt Bauman wrote sociology and social theory about modernity, consumer culture, identity and the instability of contemporary institutions. Modernity and the Holocaust argues that the Holocaust should be examined through features of modern bureaucracy and rational organisation rather than treated as a simple return to pre-modern barbarism. Liquid Modernity develops his influential metaphor of a social world in which jobs, relationships and identities become less durable, while Liquid Love applies similar ideas to intimacy and connection.

His work fits sociology, modernity, consumer culture and social theory. Read more Less
