«Confianza y temor en la ciudad: Vivir con extranjeros» is the essay book by Zygmunt Bauman, published by Arcadia in paperback (80 pages, in Spanish).
Three short essays in which Zygmunt Bauman analyses urban coexistence and dealings with foreigners. Bauman contrasts everyday trust with the fear aroused by the unknown; in that tension he locates the possibility of learning to live with difference, respecting it and protecting one's own.
The original language of «Confianza y temor en la ciudad» is Polish, and this edition belongs to the Travesías collection.
For readers of sociology and for anyone who wants to approach Bauman's ideas on the city, difference and life in common.
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.
