Reviewers' comments on the first edition: 'Zygmunt Bauman presents a cogently argued and compelling thesis...an important book from a distinguished scholar, that adds a new dimension to the poverty debate' - "British Journal of Sociology". 'It will be of great interest and value to students, teachers and researchers in sociology and social policy! [Bauman] provides a very forceful and sophisticated statement of the case; and a very well written one too. As a wide ranging analysis of our present discontents it is an admirable example of the sort of challenge which sociology at its best can offer to us and our fellow citizens to re-assess and re-think our current social arrangements' - "Work, Employment and Society". 'This is a stylish and persuasive analysis of the transition between the age of the 'society of producers' to that of the 'society of consumers" - Political Studies.It is one thing to be poor in a society of producers and universal employment; it is quite a different thing to be poor in a society of consumers, in which life projects are built around consumer choices rather than on work, professional skills or jobs. Where 'being poor' was once linked to being unemployed, today it draws its meaning primarily from the plight of a flawed consumer. This has a significant effect on the way living in poverty is experienced and on the prospects for redeeming its misery. "Work, Consumerism and the New Poor" traces this change over the duration of modern history. It makes an inventory of its social consequences, and considers how effective different ways of fighting poverty and relieving its hardships are.The new edition of this seminal work features: updated coverage of key thinkers in the field; discussion of recent work on redundancy, disposability and exclusion; and, current thinking on the effects of capital flows on different countries and the changes on the shop floor through, for example, business process re-engineering; and, new material on security and vulnerability. It is a key reading for students and lecturers in sociology, politics and social policy, and those with an interest in contemporary social issues.

刊于《经济观察报。书评增刊》11月号 笔者的祖父是一位虔诚的马克思主义者(更确切地说老人家信奉的是毛泽东思想,但在中国语境下毛泽东思想便是中国化了的马克思主义),他同情穷人,对于建设公平公正的社会主义社会充满了真诚的热情。此次暑假回家...

大二以后,我越来越频繁地陷入精神苦闷的灰暗期,失眠问题也愈发重,脑子里总是天马行空地给自己编织出些问题,没有答案,也没有未来。所谓庸人自扰如是。有那么一段时间,我忽然发现对以前所钟爱或为之狂热的一切都再提不起兴趣。这让我十分惊恐。没有爱好驱动的学习和没有激...

由于民族国家曾经的创伤绝难随着时间的流逝而抹平,因此中国读者对一些语词有本能的敏感,当年一本《现代性与大屠杀》,使笔者记住了英国人齐格蒙特•鲍曼。像大多数当代西方思想家一样,老先生在这本新译出来的著作《工作、消费、新穷人》中频繁使用诸如“前现代”、“后工...

说到做到,翻译的这么差,真的要减两星。 技术变革导致经济发展,这进一步要求改变管理方式。政治精英阶层通过文化来合理化结构变革,更重要的是维持稳定的层级结构。 在技术尚未普及的时候,人们作为独立的个体来展开活动。自由的安排工作,通过自己的产出(直接或间接的)交...

继globalizatiion那本书之后,再次被包曼治愈。同样是讲劳动、工厂、资本、现代性和工作之不得不为,马克思给人以绝望,而包曼给人以希望。“我爱工作,工作使我快乐”——只有这种人不需要在痛苦中等待全世界无产阶级砸破锁链那一天。
