Book excerpt: Zygmunt Bauman's powerful and persuasive study of the postmodern perspective on ethics is particularly welcome. For Bauman the great issues of ethics have lost none of their topicality: they simply need to be seen, and dealt with, in a wholly new way. Our era, he suggests, may actually represent a dawning, rather than a twilight, for ethics.

Book Synopsis Ética posmoderna by : Zygmunt Bauman
Download or read book Ética posmoderna written by Zygmunt Bauman and published by Siglo XXI de España Editores. This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En la posmodernidad, el comportamiento ético correcto, antes único e indivisible, comienza a evaluarse como «razonable desde el punto de vista económico», «estéticamente agradable», «moralmente adecuado». Las acciones pueden ser correctas en un sentido y equivocadas en otro. ¿Qué acción debería medirse conforme a un criterio determinado? Y si se aplican diversos criterios, ¿cuál deberá tener prioridad? La «agenda moral» de nuestros días abunda en asuntos que los estudiosos de temas éticos del pasado apenas tocaron, ya que entonces no se articulaban como parte de la experiencia humana. Basta mencionar, en el plano de la vida cotidiana, los diversos problemas morales que surgen de las novedosas relaciones de pareja, sexualidad y relaciones familiares, notorias por su indeterminación institucional, flexibilidad y fragilidad; o bien la gran cantidad de «tradiciones» que sobreviven, han resucitado o se inventaron, para disputarse la lealtad de los individuos y reclamar autoridad para guiar la conducta. Y, en el trasfondo, el contexto global de la vida contemporánea presenta riesgos de una magnitud insospechada, en verdad catastrófica: genocidios, invasiones, «guerras justas», fundamentalismo de mercado, pogromos, terror de estado o de credo.

Book excerpt: En la posrnodernidad, el comportamiento ético correcto, antes único e indivisible, comienza a resquebrajarse. Ahora un acto puede ser evaluado como 'razonable desde el punto de vista económico', 'estéticamente agradable', 'moralrnente adecuado'. Las acciones pueden ser correctas en un sentido y equivocadas en otro. ¿Qué acción debería medirse conforme a un criterio determinado? Y si se aplican diversos criterios, ¿cuál deberá tener prioridad? La agenda moral abunda en asuntos que los estudiosos de temas éticos del pasado apenas tocaron, ya que entonces no se articulaban corno parte de la experiencia humana. Basta mencionar, en el plano de la vida cotidiana, los diversos problemas morales que surgen de las novedosas relaciones de pareja, sexualidad y familia, notorias por su indeterminación institucional, flexibilidad y fragilidad; o bien la gran cantidad de tradiciones que sobreviven, han resucitado o se inventaron para disputarse la lealtad de los individuos y reclamar autoridad para guiar la conducta. Y, en el trasfondo, el contexto global de la vida contemporánea presenta riesgos de una magnitud insospechada, en verdad catastrófica - genocidios, invasiones, 'guerras justas', fundarnentalismo de mercado, pogromos, terror de Estado o de credo. Zygmunt Bauman aborda la maraña de experiencias en la que se forma la perspectiva específicamente posmoderna de los fenómenos morales sin la intención de establecer una jerarquía de normas y valores. No cabe esperar de Ética posmoderna un código ético absoluto o universal, pero tampoco el vaticinio de un 'crepúsculo del deber' o una 'debacle de la ética'. Por el contrario, una esperanza recorre este libro; que puedan hacerse visibles las fuentes de fuerza moral ocultas en la filosofía ética y en la práctica política de la modernidad. Como resultado, las posibilidades de 'moralización' de la vida social podrían, quizá, mejorarse.

Book Synopsis The Politics of Everybody by : Holly Lewis
Download or read book The Politics of Everybody written by Holly Lewis and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-10 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Politics of Everybody examines the production and maintenance of the terms 'man', 'woman', and 'other' within the current political moment; the contradictions of these categories; and the prospects of a Marxist approach to praxis for queer bodies. Few thinkers have attempted to reconcile queer and Marxist analysis. Those who have propose the key contested site to be that of desire/sexual expression. This emphasis on desire, Lewis argues, is symptomatic of the neoliberal project and has led to a continued fascination with the politics of identity. By arguing that Marxist analysis is in fact most beneficial to gender politics within the arena of body production, categorization and exclusion, Lewis develops a theory of gender and the sexed body that is wedded to the realities of a capitalist political economy. Boldly calling for a new, materialist queer theory, Lewis defines a politics of liberation that is both intersectional, transnational, and grounded in lived experience. With a new preface, Lewis discusses the argument for an explicitly Marxist understanding of trans rights - an understanding grounded in solidarity and materialist/scientific queer analysis. She also discusses the new wave of Marxist Social Reproduction Theory that has emerged since the first edition, family abolition, and the complexities of building an internationalist Marxist movement that is in solidarity with queer and trans struggles, attentive to women's realities, and one that refrains from imposing Western definitions (particularly American/Anglo definitions) onto global movements for liberation.

Book excerpt: In this classic analysis of travel and sightseeing, author Dean MacCannell brings social scientific understandings to bear on tourism in the postindustrial age, during which the middle class has acquired leisure time for international travel. In The Tourist—now with a new introduction framing it as part of a broader contemporary social and cultural analysis—the author examines notions of authenticity, high and low culture, and the construction of social reality around tourism.

Download or read book Born Liquid written by Zygmunt Bauman and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-11-26 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born Liquid is the last work by the great sociologist and social theorist Zygmunt Bauman, whose brilliant analyses of liquid modernity changed the way we think about our world today. At the time of his death, Bauman was working on this short book, a conversation with the Italian journalist Thomas Leoncini, exactly sixty years his junior. In these exchanges with Leoncini, Bauman considers, for the first time, the world of those born after the early 1980s, the individuals who were ‘born liquid’ and feel at home in a society of constant flux. As always, taking his cue from contemporary issues and debates, Bauman examines this world by discussing what are often regarded as its most ephemeral features. The transformation of the body – tattoos, cosmetic surgery, hipsters – aggression, bullying, the Internet, online dating, gender transitions and changing sexual preferences are all analysed with characteristic brilliance in this concise and topical book, which will be of particular interest to young people, natives of the liquid modern world, as well as to Bauman’s many readers of all generations.
Book Synopsis Sources of the Self by : Charles Taylor
Download or read book Sources of the Self written by Charles Taylor and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1992-03-01 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this extensive inquiry into the sources of modern selfhood, Charles Taylor demonstrates just how rich and precious those resources are. The modern turn to subjectivity, with its attendant rejection of an objective order of reason, has led—it seems to many—to mere subjectivism at the mildest and to sheer nihilism at the worst. Many critics believe that the modern order has no moral backbone and has proved corrosive to all that might foster human good. Taylor rejects this view. He argues that, properly understood, our modern notion of the self provides a framework that more than compensates for the abandonment of substantive notions of rationality. The major insight of Sources of the Self is that modern subjectivity, in all its epistemological, aesthetic, and political ramifications, has its roots in ideas of human good. After first arguing that contemporary philosophers have ignored how self and good connect, the author defines the modern identity by describing its genesis. His effort to uncover and map our moral sources leads to novel interpretations of most of the figures and movements in the modern tradition. Taylor shows that the modern turn inward is not disastrous but is in fact the result of our long efforts to define and reach the good. At the heart of this definition he finds what he calls the affirmation of ordinary life, a value which has decisively if not completely replaced an older conception of reason as connected to a hierarchy based on birth and wealth. In telling the story of a revolution whose proponents have been Augustine, Montaigne, Luther, and a host of others, Taylor’s goal is in part to make sure we do not lose sight of their goal and endanger all that has been achieved. Sources of the Self provides a decisive defense of the modern order and a sharp rebuff to its critics.
Book Synopsis This is not a Diary by : Zygmunt Bauman
Download or read book This is not a Diary written by Zygmunt Bauman and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-05-08 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is not a diary: while these observations were recorded in autumn 2010 and spring 2011 in the form of dated entries, they are not a personal reflection but an attempt to capture signs of our times in their movement - possibly at birth, at a stage when they are still barely perceptible, and in any case before they have matured into common, all too familiar forms, escaping our attention due to their banality. Some will perhaps settle in our daily life for a long time to come, others will fade and vanish before they would otherwise have a chance to be noted, recorded and explored in depth: in our fast-moving, protean and kaleidoscopic world, it is hardly possible to predict their future course and to decide in advance which of them will grow in volume and significance and which will prove to have been still-born. Whatever their fate, the author tried to take a leaf from William Blake's precept of seeing the universe in a grain of sand - and, having done so, alert us to what is or may be happening to our individual lives, forms of togetherness, shared prospects; to the ways we perceive and relate to each other, the forces that shape our life chances and itineraries; and to the ways we try to control, or at least influence, and sometimes even reform for the better, some or all those dimensions of our existence. These timely meditations by one of the most perceptive social thinkers of our time will appeal to a wide range of readers.
