Zygmunt Bauman — Liquid Modernity, Consumer Control, and Moral Fragility (Deep Dive)

Описание: Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.

This episode explores Zygmunt Bauman by Tony Blackshaw as a systems-level guide to one of the most influential diagnoses of modern life. Rather than presenting Bauman as doctrine or ideology, the analysis treats his work as a diagnostic framework for understanding how stability dissolved into liquidity—and why freedom now often feels like anxiety.

Tracing Bauman’s shift from orthodox Marxism to his theory of liquid modernity, the episode examines how social control moved from discipline to seduction, how citizens became consumers, and how responsibility was individualized while power concentrated elsewhere. The focus is perception: how insecurity becomes normal, identity becomes a project, and exclusion becomes an output of the system rather than a mistake.
