This edited volume will illustrate the continuing interest in Bauman's work through a number of chapters each dealing with the important aspects of his work and shedding light on some new angles and perspectives on his life and work. It seeks to position Bauman within the field of sociology and to provide some examples of his lasting contribution to and relevance for the discipline.

Bauman's ideas remain an important source of inspiration for many scholars and researchers working within a variety of different fields and sub-fields, appealing equally to empirical work and theoretical elaboration. This book contains ten chapters, and all chapters are devoted to the presentation and discussion of themes and ideas that were characteristic of Bauman's way of doing and writing. The purpose of this volume - as with the other volumes published in the Anthem Press 'Companion to Sociology' series - is to provide a comprehensive overview of Zygmunt Bauman's continued importance within the field of sociology and related social science disciplines.
