Kniha zpracovává jeden z klíčových konceptů, s nimiž přišel slavný sociolog Zygmunt Bauman. Podle něj ideu tekuté modernity charakterizuje individualismus, narůstající pocit nejistoty a privatizace ambivalence. Jde o chaotické pokračování moderny, kdy jedinec může volně přejít z jedné sociální pozice do jiné. Typickým rysem tekuté modernity je nomádství, člověk proplouvající světem jako turista, měnící místa, zaměstnání, partnery, hodnoty, politickou a sexuální orientaci, aniž by vytvářel a participoval na tradičních sítích vztahů a zodpovědností. Ty jsou nahrazeny osobní, zcela individuální volbou. Zkoumání změn, které znamenají nástup tekuté modernity pro lidskou situaci, rozděluje Bauman do pěti částí, ve kterých podrobně analyzuje proměny základních moderních konceptů: 1. úsilí o emancipaci, 2. myšlenku individualizace – představu, že je na jedinci, aby se sám stal tím, kým chce být, 3. představu pokroku a práce jako prostředku, jak ovládnout budoucnost, 4. oddělení času a prostoru, 5. národní stát.Zygmunt Bauman (1925–2017) byl polsko-britský sociolog a filozof, jeden z nejvýznamnějších teoretiků společenských věd. Zabýval se otázkami modernity, holokaustu, postmoderního konzumerismu apod.

Náš tekutý moderní svět není - jako všechny tekutiny - schopen zůstat v klidu a podržet si nadlouho svůj tvar. Všechno, nebo téměř všechno se v něm neustále mění. A my, obyvatelé tohoto neustále se měnícího světa, cítíme potřebu se tomuto světu přizpůsobovat, a to tak, že jsme "flexibilní" a trvale připravení se rovněž měnit. Chceme vědět, co se děje a co se pravděpodobně přihodí, ale zaplavuje nás příliv informací, které nás hrozí zcela zahltit. Nic se nevzpírá podrobnému zkoumání tak urputně jako běžné věci každodenního života, které se skrývají ve světle klamné a zavádějící důvěrné známosti. Aby je bylo možné pozorně prozkoumat, je třeba je nejdříve vytrhnout z této každodenní rutiny: to, co je zdánlivé známé, se musí stát neznámým. A přesně o to se Zygmunt Bauman v těchto 44 dopisech pokusil: každý z dopisů vypravuje příběh převzatý z běžného života, ale tak, aby se ukázaly mimořádné aspekty, jež bychom jinak měli tendenci přehlédnout. Poutavé, objevné, znepokojivé - takové jsou dopisy Zygmunta Baumana, analytika našeho moderního tekutého světa, které psal v letech 2008 až 2009 pro čtenáře jednoho italského časopisu.

Tekutý život přispívá k rostoucí nerovnosti, nejistotě a nedůvěře. Současná, moderní společnost rezignovala na své sociální základy a stabilní, pevný řád transformovala do měkké a pružné formy v domnění, že tím dosáhne maximální otevřenosti. Taková společnost ale nedokáže trvale udržet tvar, přetéká z jedné polohy do druhé, její podoby jsou krátkodobé a cíle méně angažované. Člověk se může opírat jen o minimum jistot a stále méně spoléhat na solidaritu a odpovědnost jednotlivce. Sociolog Zygmunt Bauman, autor teorie o "tekutosti" současného světa, ve své knize Tekutý život navazuje na svou nejznámější publikaci Tekutá modernita. Bauman je znám jako velký kritik globalizace a jejich neblahých dopadů na lidskou společnost. Jakkoli se vymezuje vůči individualismu, nečiní tak z ideové pozice postmarxisty, nýbrž ústy sociologa, jenž za flexibilitou jednotlivce a neomezenými možnostmi, které pro dosažení svého úspěchu prosazuje, vidí rovněž narůstající populismus, bezohlednost a technokratické pojetí života. Jednotlivec se přestává socializovat a svou individuální roli nespatřuje v činnosti ve prospěch komunitního celku, ale uskupení ekonomického, které je soustředěno výhradně na zisk, bez ohledu na jakoukoliv solidaritu a další možné negativní důsledky například v oblasti ekologie či kultury.

Rozbor sociologických kořenů holocaustu, tj. vyvraždění deseti milonů Evropanů v nacistických koncentračních táborech. Možnosti prevence budoucích genocid. Bauman chápe holocaust jako "židovskou tragédii", zdůrazňuje však její specifické rysy, které ji odlišují od všech ostatních genocid. Konstatuje, že holocaust se objevil a byl realizován v naší moderní, racionalizované a racionalistické společnosti, na vysoké úrovni rozvoje naší civilizace a na vrcholu úspěchů lidské kultury - ale právě proto je problémem této společnosti, této civilizace a této kultury. Holocaust je tak pochopen nikoliv "pouze" jako historická událost, ale jako dějinný milník, jako výpověď o povaze a charakteru naší civilizace, o tom, jak degenerovala lidská racionalita a k jakým cílům byla použita. Baumanova kniha zařazuje holocaust do kontextu sociologických analýz rasismu, ale překračuje je tím, že dokládá tragickou dialektiku "výjimečnosti a normality" holocaustu. Autor bez moralizování prokazuje, jak se v polovině 20. století dostal osvícenský racionalismus do ostrého konfliktu s morálkou a nenalezl z něj východisko. Bibliografie prací Zygmunta Baumana čítá několik desítek knižních monografií, avšak právě kniha Modernita a holocaust z roku 1989 je pokládána veřejností (nejen akademickou) i autorem samým za dílo přelomové: touto knihou se stal světově uznávaným sociologem a autoritou v oblasti analýzy pozdně moderní doby.

Vedlejší škody, sousloví známé především z vojenské terminologie, užívá sociolog Zygmunt Bauman, když se zamýšlí nad narůstající sociální nerovností a marginalizací lidského utrpení, jež dosahují stále větších rozměrů. Chudoba je běžně vnímána jako problém neschopnosti vydělat peníze a je v zásadě kriminalizována. Nejnižší vrstva společnosti je v postavení, kdy by se jí ostatní nejraději zbavili. Takovéto chápání chudoby zakrývá sociální kořeny nerovnosti, které spočívají v kombinaci konzumní životní filozofie propagované a vštěpované spotřebitelsky orientovanou ekonomikou a úbytkem životních šancí dostupných chudým. V našem současném, tekutém a moderním světě jsou chudí vedlejší škodou společnosti orientované na zisk. Jsou to cizinci uvnitř, kteří jsou zbaveni práv, jimž se těší ostatní členové společenského řádu.

V životě, kde jsou hodnoty odvozovány od kasovních trháků a lidé touží po nejnovějších technických a módních vychytávkách, kde svůj názor odvozují od bulvárních drbů a jsou líní přemýšlet nad složitými otázkami, čelíme vážnému riziku, že ztratíme citlivost a přestaneme vnímat utrpení druhých. Zlo totiž neodhaluje svou tvář jen za okolností, v nichž lidé často jednají pod extrémním nátlakem, jako jsou například války, projevuje se převážně v každodenní necitlivosti k utrpení druhých, v neschopnosti či odmítání je pochopit a v náhodném odvracení etického pohledu. Zlo a mravní slepota se skrývají v tom, co považujeme za normální, v triviálnostech a v banalitě každodenního života, a to nejen v abnormálních a výjimečných případech. Britský sociolog Zygmunt Bauman a litevský filosof a politolog Leonidas Donskis jev morální slepoty analyzují prostřednictvím konceptu adiafory - umístění určitých činů nebo kategorií lidských bytostí mimo svět morálních závazků a hodnocení. Adiafora implikuje postoj lhostejnosti k tomu, co se ve světě děje, je znakem mravní otupělosti, která se podle autorů stále více vzmáhá v západní společnosti.

Pomocí precizní definice „tekutého zla“ podávají autoři jedinečnou diagnózu aktuální geopolitické situace v Evropě, která se vyznačuje vratkostí, nejistotou, permanentními změnami, politickým populismem a prohlubujícími se rozdíly napříč společností. Tekuté zlo s podtitulem Život bez alternativ je předposlední knihou polsko-britského sociologa Zygmunta Baumana (1925 – 2017) a litevského filozofa a politologa Leonidase Donskise (1962 – 2016). Kniha popisuje fenomén zla, které je ze své podstaty všudypřítomné a nesmrtelné, ve své současné podobě však přesto odlišné od všech svých minulých podob: jedná se o takzvané „tekuté zlo“. Na rozdíl od „pevného zla“ minulosti (které bylo např. produktem zločinných režimů SSSR a Hitlerovy Třetí říše), jež se vyznačovalo koncentrovaností, centrálním dohledem, a tudíž i snadnou detekovatelností, definují autoři knihy „tekuté zlo“ jako obtížně uchopitelné, neustále proměnlivé, těžko vystopovatelné, a tím i zrádnější a ve svých důsledcích také zlověstnější. Základním prostředkem „tekutého zla“ není hrubá síla, ale metoda svádění a následného ústupu. „Tekuté zlo“ má jedinečnou schopnost převlékat háv a vystupovat v roli přítele (např. populistického politika slibujícího rychlá řešení, nebo sledovacích zařízení, která si sami dobrovolně implementujeme do mobilu), načež zničí vše, co bylo vybudováno a zanechá po sobě pustou planinu.

Na počátku jednadvacátého století žijeme znovu v době strachu. Ať už jde o strach z válečných konfliktů, teroristických útoků nebo z přírodních, ekologických katastrof. Žijeme ve stavu neustálé úzkosti z nebezpečí, která mohou kdykoli a neohlášeně zasáhnout. Strachem nazýváme naši nejistotu - tváří v tvář rizikům, jež charakterizují naši tekutou moderní dobu, naši nevědomost o tom, co přesně hrozba představuje, a naši neschopnost určit, co lze a co nelze udělat, abychom jí čelili. Přitom modernita měla být podle Zygmunta Baumana, jednoho z předních sociálních myslitelů naší doby, takovým obdobím v dějinách lidstva, kdy obavy, které v minulosti pronikaly do společenského života, se již měly jevit jako nadbytečné. Lidé měli převzít nad svými životy kontrolu, držet je pevně v rukou a nést za ně odpovědnost. Baumanova kniha Tekutý strach přináší výčet moderních tekutých strachů, pokouší se odhalit jejich společné zdroje, analyzovat překážky, hromadící se na cestě k jejich identifikaci, a zkoumat způsoby, jak je vyřadit z provozu nebo je zneškodnit. Prostřednictvím svého popisu obav a úzkostí, které nás dnes tíží, Bauman rovněž upozorňuje na problémy, jimž budeme muset čelit a řešit je po většinu tohoto století, pokud chceme, aby na jeho konci pociťovali naši bližní větší jistotu, než dnes cítíme my.

Ambivalence je téma, které se v díle Zygmunta Baumana objevuje velmi často. V jeho analýzách modernity, v knihách o životě v tekuté moderní společnosti, jde téměř vždy o motiv ústřední. Baumanova sociologická perspektiva sama o sobě vyzařuje ambivalenci a mnohá témata, která během své kariéry zkoumal - například svobodu, morálku, nesmrtelnost a utopii - jsou sama o sobě fundamentálním vyjádřením ambivalence. Bauman trvá na tom, že svět není jednou provždy pevně daný, ale že jej lidé mohou zpochybňovat a měnit, a ambivalence tak není nemocí, kterou je třeba léčit, ale spíše faktem, který je třeba přijmout.Ambivalence je nedílnou součástí našeho lidského bytí. Je nedílnou součástí naší zkušenostní a emocionální sféry, zakořeněným aspektem našich životních rozhodnutí a konfrontace se společností, jakýmsi nepříjemným prostředníkem mezi nadějemi a skutečně existující realitou. Ambivalence je pojem, který se používá k popisu smíšených emocí a komplexního prožívání toho, že jsme jakoby chyceni mezi protichůdné nebo konfliktní póly (očekávání, možnosti, volby atd.) a nemůžeme mít obojí zároveň. Je zřejmé, že ambivalence se v lidských dějinách objevovala po celou dobu.

This eye-opening book explores the need for, and how to successfully organize, community mental health teams that provide in-home care and treatment for people experiencing mental health difficulties, particularly those suffering with psychosis. With an emphasis on community-based care and democratic psychiatry, the book presents two paradigm shifts necessary to bring mental healthcare directly into the community. The first is shifting perceptions from thinking of patients to recognizing those in need of care as members of the public moving away from a biomedical diagnostic approach. The second shift is the provision of support for the community environment, its families, friends, and neighbours to pave the way for hospitableness towards people with mental health issues in a way that encourages compassion, empathy, and a respect for differences. Through clinical case material, anthropological and phenomenological methods, and personal experience in community-based care, Peter Dierinck presents new models for sheltered housing and innovative ways for struggling individuals to secure paid work within a community system. Community-based Mental Healthcare for Psychosis is important reading for psychiatric professionals, clinicians, social workers, caregivers, and all mental health professionals looking after psychiatric patients with complex care needs.

Community Justice discusses concepts of community within the context of justice policy and programs and addresses the important relationship between the criminal justice system and the community in the USA.Taking a bold stance in the criminal justice debate, this book argues that crime management is more effective through the use of informal (as opposed to formal) social control. It demonstrates how an increasing number of criminal justice elements are beginning to understand that developing partnerships within the community that enhance informal social control will lead to stabilization and possibly a decline in crime, especially violent crime, and make communities more livable. Borrowing from an eclectic toolbox of ideas and strategies – community organizing, environmental crime prevention, private–public partnerships, and justice initiatives – Community Justice puts forward a new approach to establishing safe communities and highlights the failure of the current American justice system in its lack of vision and misuse of resources.This book is essential for undergraduate and postgraduate students of criminology, law, and sociology. It provides detailed information about how community justice fits within each area of the criminal justice system and includes relevant case studies to exemplify this philosophy in action.

People often yearn for a sense of belonging and connection: they long to live in a meaningful community. In the modern age, however, this often seems to be a chimera. Does modernity doom us to be atomised individuals? Does the promise of community imply a loss of autonomy and freedom and entrench inequality and hierarchy? In this book, J. Toby Reiner examines the debates surrounding community in modern political and social thought. He outlines how liberals, conservatives, socialists, and nationalists have historically conceived of the ties that bind together political communities, and how recent political philosophers such as Rawls, Taylor, Walzer, and Sandel have debated the nature and merits of community in the contemporary world. He goes on to consider how prominent conceptions of community relate to and are in tension with characteristically modern ideals such as equality and freedom. He deftly shows how a meaningful conception of community can be reconciled with the demands of modern liberal societies. Filled with real-life examples and thought-provoking discussions of the key debates, this book will be essential reading for students of contemporary political theory and philosophy and of sociology.

Beginning with the foundations of community development, An Introduction to Community Development offers a comprehensive and practical approach to planning for communities. Road-tested in the authors’ own teaching, and through the training they provide for practicing planners, it enables students to begin making connections between academic study and practical know-how from both private and public sector contexts. An Introduction to Community Development shows how planners can utilize local economic interests and integrate finance and marketing considerations into their strategy. Most importantly, the book is strongly focused on outcomes, encouraging students to ask: what is best practice when it comes to planning for communities, and how do we accurately measure the results of planning practice? This newly revised and updated edition includes:increased coverage of sustainability issues, discussion of localism and its relation to community development,quality of life, community well-being and public health considerations, and content on local food systems. Each chapter provides a range of reading materials for the student, supplemented with text boxes, a chapter outline, keywords, and reference lists, and new skills based exercises at the end of each chapter to help students turn their learning into action, making this the most user-friendly text for community development now available.

The Way Forward for Entrepreneurship Around the World We are in the midst of a startup revolution. The growth and proliferation of innovation-driven startup activity is profound, unprecedented, and global in scope. Today, it is understood that communities of support and knowledge-sharing go along with other resources. The importance of collaboration and a long-term commitment has gained wider acceptance. These principles are adopted in many startup communities throughout the world. And yet, much more work is needed. Startup activity is highly concentrated in large cities. Governments and other actors such as large corporations and universities are not collaborating with each other nor with entrepreneurs as well as they could. Too often, these actors try to control activity or impose their view from the top-down, rather than supporting an environment that is led from the bottom-up. We continue to see a disconnect between an entrepreneurial mindset and that of many actors who wish to engage with and support entrepreneurship. There are structural reasons for this, but we can overcome many of these obstacles with appropriate focus and sustained practice. No one tells this story better than Brad Feld and Ian Hathaway.

Creating Culture, Performing Community explores the ways in which the people of Santo Santiago de Angahuan, a P'urhépecha community in the state of Michoacán, México, create and curate their cultural practices and how, by doing so, they perform what it means to be an active member of the P'urhépecha community. Through a deep ethnographic account of ritual practices, author Mintzi Auanda Martínez-Rivera focuses on the tembuchakua, or wedding rituals, analyzing their creation, performance, and transformation within the P'urhépecha community. By proposing alternative approaches to understanding indigeneity, Martínez-Rivera showcases how people carefully transform their cultural practices and rearticulate and perform their identities. Thus Creating Culture, Performing Community has three main aims: to analyze how people create their own culture; to showcase how cultural practices are performed to reflect particular ideas of what it means to be a member of a community; and to move beyond limited understandings of indigenous identity and cultural practices.

It requires a clear vision, a thoughtful plan, and an experienced guide. It takes intentional effort to make it a reality.

Institutional autonomy, private interests, and relevance are central themes in the evolving discourse on the nature and role of higher education. Whether pushing institutions to become more responsive to industry and labour market demands or resisting these very pressures, leaders and policymakers insist that universities must adapt. Experiential Learning and Community explores the changing role of the university, with a particular focus on how the rise of experiential learning (EL) is reshaping teaching and learning.Through the lens of EL, universities are balancing two core principles: fostering an engaged citizenry and democracy, while also equipping learners with the skills needed for a prosperous economy. As EL rapidly expands in various forms – such as work-integrated learning like co-ops and internships, as well as community-engaged student placements such as service learning – universities are extending their reach far beyond the campus. The book asks: Should universities fully embrace EL? If so, how can institutions and faculty adapt to this fundamental shift in their core mission? Are community partners now equal collaborators with a voice in pedagogy and curriculum? And perhaps most importantly, are students better served by this emergent EL approach to teaching and learning? Experiential Learning and Community addresses these questions ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Despite our deep desire to feel a sense of belonging, many of us feel isolated. The rise of technology and modern workplace practices have led people to be even more disconnected, even as we remain constantly contactable. And as our human interactions have decreased, so too have our happiness levels. This is sparking a crisis in mental health that will have repercussions for years, leaving people lonelier and organizations less productive and profitable, too. What Christine Porath has discovered in her research is that leaders, organizations, and managers of all stripes may recognize there is a cost but have few solutions for how to implement the cure: Community.With her signature depth and grasp of research across myriad industries including business, healthcare, hospitality, and sports, Porath extrapolates from the statistics on the experiences of hundreds of thousands of people across six continents to show us the potential for change. Through uniting people and sharing information, unleashing them with autonomy, creating a respectful environment, practicing radical candor, providing a sense of meaning, and boosting personal well-being, anyone can help a community truly flourish. The applications of Porath''s findings are endless, and the stories and case studies are positive and uplifting. This insightful ... Unknown localization key: "more"

There is much talk today of ''new ways of being church'' and ''new monastic spirituality''. As Simon Reed explored the Celtic roots of the Christian faith, in community with others who drew inspiration from our spiritual ancestors in the British Isles, he came to realise that the third millennium church has much in common with the first millennium church, and more importantly, much to learn from it. In Creating Community, he introduces us to a new but at the same time very old way of being church which is based upon three core elements: a Way of Life, a network of Soul Friends, and a rhythm of prayer. The book shows how the rediscovery of these elements by Christians today offers a vital key that opens up an ancient way for modern churches, one which not only helps to bring believers to lasting maturity but creates genuine and much-needed community in an increasingly fragmented world.

1 Corinthians: A Community in Dissent approaches Paul’s letter not simply as a monologue from an authoritative apostle but as part of an ongoing, dynamic conversation within a diverse and complex early Christian community. Rather than assuming that Paul’s voice is the only word, this study pays close attention to the voices of the Corinthians, which often emerge through rhetorical clues, reported speech, and implied dialogue. By shifting the focus toward the community’s concerns and responses, the book encourages readers to see 1 Corinthians as a text shaped by negotiation, disagreement, and mutual engagement. Ekaputra Tupamahu offers a reading that resists portraying the Corinthians as passive recipients of correction or moral failure. Instead, he explores how their resistance and questions reflect meaningful engagement with issues of authority, identity, and communal life in the Roman imperial world. Without romanticizing either Paul or the Corinthians, the book opens space to consider the complexities of early Christian formation within settings of cultural hybridity and social inequality. In doing so, A Community in Dissent invites readers, especially students and scholars of the New Testament, to engage 1 Corinthians with historical sensitivity and interpretive humility.

Explores the unintended consequences of civic activism in a disaster-prone city After Hurricane Katrina, thousands of people swiftly mobilized to rebuild their neighborhoods, often assisted by government organizations, nonprofits, and other major institutions. In Rethinking Community Resilience, Min Hee Go shows that these recovery efforts are not always the panacea they seem to be, and can actually escalate the city's susceptibility to future environmental hazards. Drawing upon interviews, public records, and more, Go explores the hidden costs of community resilience. She shows that—despite good intentions—recovery efforts after Hurricane Katrina exacerbated existing race and class inequalities, putting disadvantaged communities at risk. Ultimately, Go shows that when governments, nonprofits, and communities invest in rebuilding rather than relocating, they inadvertently lay the groundwork for a cycle of vulnerabilities. As cities come to terms with climate change adaptation—rather than prevention—Rethinking Community Resilienceprovides insight into the challenges communities increasingly face in the twenty-first century.

Our broken economic model drives inequality and disempowerment, lining the pockets of corporations while extracting wealth from local communities. How can we reverse this? Joe Guinan and Martin O’Neill argue for an approach that uses the power of democratic participation to drive equitable development and ensure that wealth is widely shared. They show how this model – Community Wealth Building – can transform our economic system by creating a web of collaborative institutions, from worker cooperatives to community land trusts and public banks, that empower and enrich the many, not the few. This book is essential reading for everyone interested in building more equal, inclusive, and democratic societies.
