Abstract

This is not a diary: while these observations were recorded in autumn 2010 and spring 2011 in the form of dated entries, they are not a personal reflection but an attempt to capture signs of our times in their movement - possibly at birth, at a stage when they are still barely perceptible, and in any case before they have matured into common, all too familiar forms, escaping our attention due to their banality. Some will perhaps settle in our daily life for a long time to come, others will fade and vanish before they would otherwise have a chance to be noted, recorded and explored in depth: in our fast-moving, protean and kaleidoscopic world, it is hardly possible to predict their future course and to decide in advance which of them will grow in volume and significance and which will prove to have been still-born. Whatever their fate, the author tried to take a leaf from William Blake's precept of seeing the universe in a grain of sand - and, having done so, alert us to what is or may be happening to our individual lives, forms of togetherness, shared prospects; to the ways we perceive and relate to each other, the forces that shape our life chances and itineraries; and to the ways we try to control, or at least influence, and sometimes even reform for the better, some or all those dimensions of our existence. -- Publisher description.

Abstract

Normale Zeitungsleser hätten die Anzeige vielleicht übersehen: »Sechs Outfits, mit denen Sie Ihrer Clique im nächsten halben Jahr einen Schritt voraus sind«. Zygmunt Bauman schlägt daraus theoretische Funken: Wer heute noch die Chuzpe hat, »Ich« zu sagen, sollte schneller sein als die anderen. Doch Achtung: Die Befriedigung hat ein Verfallsdatum – die nächste Frühjahrskollektion kommt bestimmt. In sechs Studien, die auf Vorlesungen am Institut für die Wissenschaften vom Menschen in Wien zurückgehen, greift der brillante Essayist seine großen Themen wieder auf: Ethik, die Erinnerung an den Holocaust, Freiheit und Kunst in der flüchtigen Moderne.

Abstract

Management has been one of the driving forces of the last century, indeed an idea and a language that colonized most other institutions, areas of human activity and walks of life, even those that had until recently been regarded as completely unmanageable, such as art, academia and creativity. Some it supported and others it destroyed, but there are few areas in modern societies that have been untouched by it. What is the meaning of management now almost omnipresent and all–powerful in our current bleak times, in our current state of interregnum that is characterized by an increasing sense of insecurity and hopelessness, a time when, paradoxically, the seemingly omnipotent force of management does not seem to work? Does it have a role to play today and in the future? What can it become and whom should it serve when the interregnum is over and a new, hopefully more humane, system begins to dawn? These are some of the questions explored in this timely new book by Zygmunt Bauman, one of the greatest thinkers of our times, architect and Urban Studies professor Irena Bauman, and two organization and management scholars, Jerzy Kociatkiewicz and Monika Kostera.
