The production of 'human waste' - or more precisely, wasted lives, the 'superfluous' populations of migrants, refugees and other outcasts - is an inevitable outcome of modernization. It is an unavoidable side-effect of economic progress and the quest for order which is characteristic of modernity.
As long as large parts of the world remained wholly or partly unaffected by modernization, they were treated by modernizing societies as lands that were able to absorb the excess of population in the 'developed countries'. Global solutions were sought, and temporarily found, to locally produced overpopulation problems. But as modernization has reached the furthest lands of the planet, 'redundant population' is produced everywhere and all localities have to bear the consequences of modernity's global triumph. They are now confronted with the need to seek - in vain, it seems - local solutions to globally produced problems. The global spread of the modernity has given rise to growing quantities of human beings who are deprived of adequate means of survival, but the planet is fast running out of places to put them. Hence the new anxieties about 'immigrants' and 'asylum seekers' and the growing role played by diffuse 'security fears' on the contemporary political agenda.
With characteristic brilliance, this new book by Zygmunt Bauman unravels the impact of this transformation on our contemporary culture and politics and shows that the problem of coping with 'human waste' provides a key for understanding some otherwise baffling features of our shared life, from the strategies of global domination to the most intimate aspects of human relationships.
齊格濛·鮑曼(1926-)當代世界最著名的社會傢與哲學傢之一,是“後現代主義”概念的主要創造者,齣生於波蘭,曾任華沙大學社會係教授,1968年離開波蘭,1969-1971年在特拉維夫和海法大學任教,後前往英國,任利茲大學終身教授,同時也在柏剋利、耶魯、堪培拉等大學任客座教授。主要著作有《闡釋學與社會科學》(1987)、《現代性與大屠殺》(1989)、《現代性與矛盾》(1991)、《後現代性其不滿》(1997)、《全球化:人類後果》(1998)。
波蘭人ZYGMUNT的文筆很好,不過,本書應當看做他對現代性和全球化思考的一個小品作而已。很多頗費口舌闡述的道理,不甚新鮮。

評分深刻偏激。譬如“Modernity is a condition of compulsive, and addictive, designing. Where is design, there is waste. No house is really finished before the building site has been swept clean of unwanted leftovers. When it comes to designing the forms of human togetherness, the waste is human beings. Some human beings who do not fit into the designed form…”
評分The new fullness of the planet落地於the human waste disposal industry。分離與毀滅的現代構建掩蓋瞭一種人文主義的進路:在本質上,沒有人are/become waste。強製、成癮的現代性以規則而非現實、以法律而非本體論為人類營建modern way of life,於是劃分陣營,隔離齣被廢棄的homo sacer:政體的棄兒、工業化的棄兒、全球化的棄兒,他們被迫站在現代社會的對立麵,卻於personal vulnerability and personal safety前陷於失語,被美觀、完美、穩定所圈禁。Liquid modernity因此成為最終的箭靶——一種抽離、斷裂與遺忘的文化,一種書寫過剩、冗餘、廢棄與清除的文明。

評分任何警示性的书籍都会有其尖刻的话语和洞穿性的揭示,揭去伪饰的外衣,至于披着怎样的外衣,只有绝少数权位者知道,他们不断地制造迷局,让绝大多数的人们看不清楚,让一部分人或悄无声息地被废弃,成为被废弃的生命。

評分“驱逐、抛弃和清扫自身反复出现的不洁的乐趣” 到底这种时髦是怎么回事——是用更美好的来代替不那么可爱的,还是剥离了新奇物最初的光辉和诱惑后,再当做垃圾抛弃他们时的快感?物品被抛弃是因为他们丑陋,还是因为他们被别上了垃圾的标记而成为丑陋的? 对于在这个流动性的...
評分奥威尔意义上的老大哥累了,而赫胥黎意义上的娱乐社会,并没有离开老大哥的管辖,只是,现在接管世界的,是老哥哥看起来更聪明的弟弟。 或者说,老大哥并不想管制所有的事情,对于高度复杂化的社会,也有点力不从心 但他并未消亡,而是获得了“异地平级任用”,他现在只管谁应...
