“Ricordo anche che nei tuoi scritti hai richiamato l’espressione lebensunwertes Leben – «vita che non merita di essere vissuta» – con cui i nazisti designavano quei gruppi di popolazione cui negavano il diritto di esistere. Ai nostri giorni abbiamo di fronte una versione liquido moderna di questo fenomeno, che vale per regioni e paesi le cui tragedie non hanno diritto di fare notizia, o le cui vittime civili e sofferenze legate al terrorismo o alla violenza non sono legittimate a influire sui rapporti bilaterali e sugli accordi commerciali [...].”

Zygmunt Bauman
Zygmunt Bauman (1925-2017) was a Polish-British sociologist and philosopher, widely regarded as one of the most influential social thinkers of the 20th century. He taught sociology at the University of Leeds and was known for his concept of "liquid modernity," which describes the shift from solid, stable social structures to fluid, uncertain conditions. His major works include "Modernity and the Holocaust," "Liquid Modernity," and "Liquid Love." Bauman's analysis of consumer capitalism, social inequality, and the relationship between modernity and genocide has profoundly shaped contemporary sociological thought. more
