The production of 'human waste' - or more precisely, wasted lives, the 'superfluous' populations of migrants, refugees and other outcasts - is an inevitable outcome of modernization. It is an unavoidable side-effect of economic progress and the quest for order which is characteristic of modernity.
As long as large parts of the world remained wholly or partly unaffected by modernization, they were treated by modernizing societies as lands that were able to absorb the excess of population in the 'developed countries'. Global solutions were sought, and temporarily found, to locally produced overpopulation problems. But as modernization has reached the furthest lands of the planet, 'redundant population' is produced everywhere and all localities have to bear the consequences of modernity's global triumph. They are now confronted with the need to seek - in vain, it seems - local solutions to globally produced problems. The global spread of the modernity has given rise to growing quantities of human beings who are deprived of adequate means of survival, but the planet is fast running out of places to put them. Hence the new anxieties about 'immigrants' and 'asylum seekers' and the growing role played by diffuse 'security fears' on the contemporary political agenda.
With characteristic brilliance, this new book by Zygmunt Bauman unravels the impact of this transformation on our contemporary culture and politics and shows that the problem of coping with 'human waste' provides a key for understanding some otherwise baffling features of our shared life, from the strategies of global domination to the most intimate aspects of human relationships.
齐格蒙·鲍曼(1926-)当代世界最著名的社会家与哲学家之一,是“后现代主义”概念的主要创造者,出生于波兰,曾任华沙大学社会系教授,1968年离开波兰,1969-1971年在特拉维夫和海法大学任教,后前往英国,任利兹大学终身教授,同时也在柏克利、耶鲁、堪培拉等大学任客座教授。主要著作有《阐释学与社会科学》(1987)、《现代性与大屠杀》(1989)、《现代性与矛盾》(1991)、《后现代性其不满》(1997)、《全球化:人类后果》(1998)。
在鲍曼大神之前,真的不知道原来社会学论文可以写得如此文采飞扬,学术著作也可以是文学艺术品。好希望有一天自己也可以成为这样的学者。
评分波兰人ZYGMUNT的文笔很好,不过,本书应当看做他对现代性和全球化思考的一个小品作而已。很多颇费口舌阐述的道理,不甚新鲜。
评分深刻偏激。譬如“Modernity is a condition of compulsive, and addictive, designing. Where is design, there is waste. No house is really finished before the building site has been swept clean of unwanted leftovers. When it comes to designing the forms of human togetherness, the waste is human beings. Some human beings who do not fit into the designed form…”

“失业”这一概念从语义学上来讲,承袭了一个社会的自我意识,即总的来说,它都将它的成员划归生产者,同时,它不仅坚信全民就业是一种值得努力的和可成就的社会情境,还把它作为自身的终极目标。因此,社会也会把就业当做同时解决社会可接受的个体身份问题,稳固的社会位置问...

评分可能因为我水平差,可能也有翻译的原因,我看这本书的时候感到有些费力。 但是,毋庸置疑的是,这本书是一本值得读的书。作者对待世界的观点非常独特。能够给人,在一定程度上,有一个对于世界的耳目一新的认识。 撇开这些不谈,难道你看了作者在本书最前面,通过卡尔...
评分这几天生活有点特别,因为有理由让自己藏起来看书了。 可是所谓的看书,却并不惬意,有点无奈,有点兴奋,有点急切,还有点无聊。 晚上躺在床上看鲍曼写的《废弃的人》,觉得自己就像那个虽然赶上了现代化的列车,却挤在车厢里一点都不舒服,努力买票,努力的跑,为了能赶上车...
评分今年2月间,两位美国08年总统大选的热门人物——民主党参议员巴拉克•奥巴马(Barack Obama)和共和党参议员约翰•麦凯恩(John McCain)相继在自己的竞选声明中称,太多美国人的生命被废弃(wasted)在伊拉克战场上。旋即两人又迫于舆论压力,为自己失言侮辱了美国大兵的...
