Zygmunt Bauman's 'Selected Writings' series is now complete!📚
'Theory & Society' (edited by Tom Campbell, Dariusz Brzeziński, Mark Davis, and Jack Palmer) brings together hitherto unknown or rare pieces by #Bauman on the theme of theory and society and also makes available previously unpublished material from @BaumanUoL at @UniversityLeeds , as well as rare pieces that were previously unavailable in English.
Here Bauman reflects on some of the core concepts of sociology, examines the work of a wide range of social theorists, from #Durkheim and #Gramsci to #AgnesHeller and C. #WrightMills, and addresses an array of key ideas and issues including #inequality, identity and social change.

One of the most interesting projects I've ever been involved in
