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

“A amoreira gigante à sua frente. O tronco destaca-se do sincretismo da mata, mas se eu percorrer com os olhos o tronco para cima, a folhagem dele mistura-se à folhagem geral e é de novo o sincretismo. Só o tronco se destaca, se individualiza. Tal é o Mayombe, os gigantes só o são em parte, ao nível do tronco, o resto confunde-se na massa. Tal o homem. As impressões visuais são menos nítidas e a mancha verde predominante faz esbater progressivamente a claridade do tronco da amoreira gigante. As manchas verdes são cada vez mais sobrepostas, mas, num sobressalto, o tronco da amoreira ainda se afirma, debatendo-se. Tal é a vida.”
