«Amor líquido» is the sociology essay by Zygmunt Bauman, published by Fondo de Cultura Económica in paperback (203 pages, in Spanish).
Zygmunt Bauman analyses the fragility of human bonds in a globalised society: the fear of lasting relationships, the tendency to measure ties by costs and benefits, and the erosion of solidarity. He also addresses the dehumanisation of refugees and marginalised people and how commercial logic permeates love, morality and coexistence.
It belongs to Zygmunt Bauman's «Liquid» series; the original work appeared in 2003 as «Liquid Love: On the Frailty of Human Bonds» and this Spanish edition dates from 2005.
A work of interest for readers of sociology and philosophy, as well as for anyone seeking a reflection on human relationships in contemporary society.
Zygmunt Bauman was a Polish–British sociologist and philosopher. He was driven out of the Polish People's Republic during the 1968 Polish political crisis and forced to give up his Polish citizenship. He emigrated to Israel; three years later, he moved to the United Kingdom. He resided in England from 1971, where he studied at the London School of Economics and became Professor of Sociology at the University of Leeds, later emeritus. Bauman was a social theorist, writing on issues as diverse as modernity and the Holocaust, consumerism in postmodernity, and liquid modernity.
