«Amor líquido: Sobre la fragilidad de los vínculos humanos» is a sociological essay by Zygmunt Bauman, published by Ediciones Paidós in paperback.
Bauman analyses how the liquidity of contemporary society affects human bonds: fear of commitment, connections without lasting ties and a solidarity that depends on benefit. He also examines the dehumanisation of refugees, marginalised people and the poor, with the hope that collective action can overcome these problems.
The 2018 edition belongs to the Contextos collection and features a translation by Albino Santos Mosquera; the original title is Liquid Love: On the Frailty of Human Bonds (2003).
Aimed at readers interested in sociology, philosophy and analysis of 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.
