Liquid Love: Zygmunt Bauman’s thesis on sex revisited:

In his liquid-turn writings, Zygmunt Bauman has come to identify liquid
modernity as a period of interregnum. Education has a central role to
play within the contemporary interregnum by opening up a new public
sphere for dialogue. However, the processes of liquefaction manifest
themselves in conditions that severely limit a person’s ability to exercise
their human agency. Bauman provides no indication of how the
educators can escape the processes that limit agency, nor does he
explain how educators can combat the seductive consumerism that
students need to overcome before they can engage in a reconstruction of
the public sphere.

Education in the interregnum: an evaluation of Zygmunt Bauman’s liquid-turn writing on education

Although Zygmunt Bauman has written very little directly about education, his underpinning ideas
on the transition from solid to liquid modernity, the mechanisms of social exclusion, the Other
and the stranger have had a significant impact on education research. Taking his starting point
from a questionable secular reading of Emmanuel Levinas’s contribution to ethics, Bauman’s
account of social exclusion has become well respected. The social forces described by Bauman
are always external to the individual in Bauman’s social analysis of suffering in that it places no
emphasis on the culpability of other human agents as the cause of the Other’s suffering. This
article identifies this underemphasis on human agency as a flaw in Bauman’s analysis and evaluates
Bauman’s largely ignored and problematic understanding of inclusion, in which social inclusion and
exclusion are based on the same mechanisms and identified as two sides of the same coin central
for maintaining social solidarity.

Zygmunt Bauman: On What It Means to Be Included.

The article explores how in Modernity and the Holocaust to his liquid turn
writings Zygmunt Bauman’s work assumes that people live in a deterministic
world. Bauman fails to distinguish agency as an analytical category in its own
right and as such fails to capture self-determination, agential control and moral
responsibility. All of Bauman’s work is based upon the assumption that the
individual loses their autonomy and the ability to judge the moral content of their
actions because of adiaphortic processes external to themselves as individuals
giving rise to agentic state in which the individual is unable to exercise their
agency. In contrast to the argument in Modernity and the Holocaust this article
suggests that the Nazis developed a distinct communitarian ethical code rooted
in self-control that encouraged individuals to overcome their personal feeling
states, enabling them to engage in acts of cruelty to people defined as outside
of the community. In his post-2000 work where the emphasis is on the process
of liquefaction there is the same undervaluing of human agency in the face of
external forces reflected in Bauman’s concepts of ambivalence, fate and swarm.
