Park Nights 2014: Zygmunt Bauman, Giving and Taking

About

Zygmunt Bauman, sociologist and professor at University of Leeds (Emeritus Professor since 1990), is best known for his analyses of the links between modernity and the Holocaust and of postmodern consumerism. His seminal book, Liquid Modernity (2000), has come to redefine our understanding of agency, individuality and uncertainty in the 21st century. Following his talk, Bauman will be in conversation with Serpentine Galleries Co-Director Hans Ulrich Obrist.
