«Esbozos sobre la teoría de la cultura» is the sociological essay by Zygmunt Bauman, published by Ediciones Paidós in paperback (360 pages, in Spanish).
An essay previously unpublished in Spanish that Zygmunt Bauman wrote as a professor in Poland and that was presumed lost after the 1968 repression. The edition is based on a recovered manuscript and analyses culture from a semiotic perspective, with reflections on individualisation and global connections that anticipate his later work.
Part of the Biblioteca Zygmunt Bauman collection; translation by Fernando Borrajo. Published in January 2024.
For readers of sociology and anthropology, and for those who follow Zygmunt Bauman's work on culture, modernity and social processes.
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.
