Description

This is Not a Diary by Zygmunt Bauman explores the signs of our times in their early stages, before they have matured into familiar forms. The author's observations, recorded between 2010 and 2011, aim to capture these fleeting phenomena and alert us to their potential impact on our individual lives and collective existence.

Bauman draws on his expertise as a social thinker to examine the forces that shape our life chances and itineraries, as well as our relationships with others. His timely meditations offer insights into the ways we perceive and relate to each other, and how we try to control or influence these dimensions of our existence.

These thought-provoking reflections will appeal to readers interested in social science, public policy, and sociology, making this book a valuable addition to anyone's library.
