A challenge to Zygmunt Bauman's thought on liquid modernity looking at contemporary society as an interregnum, a temporary break with the past, and being characterised by anomie.
Challenging the thought of Zygmunt Bauman on the subject of liquid modernity, where everything has become unstable, precarious and uncertain, Carlo Bordoni (author with Bauman of "State of Crisis") proposes to look at contemporary society as an "interregnum", a temporary break with the past. In a condition characterised by anomie, the questioning of democratic achievements and the primacy of an unbridled economy, he offers a new perspective on our social condition. Understanding the interregnum and being aware of its instability and the social degradation that it entails can help us to make the right choices.
