现代性与后现代性之间——齐格蒙特·鲍曼论流动的现代社会

Between Modernity and Postmodernity——On Liquid Modern Society of Zygmunt Bauman

鲍曼用流动的现代性来描述当代社会,认为当代社会的三个主要现象是消费主义、全球化和个体化,它们造就了当代社会的主要特征:不确定性、不安全性和不可靠性;人们生活在焦虑和恐惧中。要解决流动性带来的问题,鲍曼认为,主要是重建"公共空间",而解决"基本收入"是寻找政治的前提,一种新的共和主义制度是鲍曼的探求。鲍曼通过分析流动的现代社会,解释流动的现代性的涵义,为我们分析当代社会提供了一种新的尝试。

Bauman describes the society in liquid modem society, holds that there is three main social events： consumerism, globalization and individualization, which make the characteristics： undetennination, unsafety and irreliablity, peoples live with anxiety and terror. Resolving those matters made by liquidity, Bauman think of main way is to reconstruct ＂public sphere＂, and ＂basicincome＂ is the precondition of searching politics, new republicism institution is the wish of Bauman. Bauman explains liquid modernity through the analysis of liquid modem society, and Bauman offer a new attempt for us to analyze contemporary society.
