In fact, we almost lost our lives because of his honesty. In 1939 we were running away from Posnan as the Germans were invading - the town was almost on the German border. We took the last train east, but we were stopped at a station which was being bombed by the Germans.

Probing details of Bauman's life for the events which have shaped his intellectual  preoccupations is not easy. He is a private man, subscribing to Richard Sennett's thesis that public life is vitiated by the confessional culture."Men and women can only actin public if they are not forced into the paralysing straitjacket of displays of ersatz intimancy," Bauman has said.

Varcoe believes Bauman never moved on party because of the 'terrible trauma of exile' in his 40s and partly because of 'he was pleased to be left alone, he had peace and quiet and a predictable environment'.

or all his international popularity, Bauman is very much a loner and something of an intellectual maverick. ''I've never dreamt of belonging,'' he says with sudden fierceness.

Ormai era divenuta un'espressione proverbiale. L'immagine delle liquidità associata alla nostra epoca. Vita liquida, modernità liquida, paura liquida e, persino, amore liquido. Come molti dei titoli di alcune delle opere del professor Zygmunt Bauman, morto a 91 anni in Inghilterra, paese nel quale si era trasferito agli inizi degli anni Settanta, dopo la ripresa dell'antisemitismo nella Polonia del Blocco Sovietico.

He was a brilliant teacher, attracting young people around him, of whom he expected hight standars and from whom he had a knack of drawing out their full potential; a group of them would meet in his flat for a seminar every Saturday to discuss ideas.

It forced them and a number of other leading Jewish intellectuals into exile in Israel, leaving close relatives and friends behind. It was a difficult experience for them; Janina writes of the "despair" of starting life again their late 40s. Tarkowska  remembers the gap they behind: "All of us were very shocked when he was expelled - it was a kind of catastrophe".

Bauman argues that to blame Germany effectively exonerates everyone else in whereas the ideas of eugenics were adopted and received scientific credibility in many countries including the US and Scandinavia.

For Bauman, the fabric of contemporary society was "liquid" This is a cause of globalization, consumerist dynamics, the collapse of ideologies that in post-modernity have caused a disorientation of the individual and therefore his brutal exposure to the pressures, changes and "violence" of contemporary society to uncertainty, often to immediate collective and sometimes inexplicable homologations to exorcise the "loneliness of the global citizen", as one of his most famous works is called.

Bauman's thesis was that the Holocaust was a product of modernity rather than being specific to German nationalism.

The Holocaust triggered the ethical preoccupations of his books of the early to mid-90s: "What is it in our society which makes this sort of thing possible? The real problem is why, under certain circumstances, decent people who are good husbands, neighbourn and so on, participate in atrocities. That's the real heart of the problem. There are not so many psychologically corrupted people in the world to account for all the many atrocities around the world. So that was my problem: people who, under other circumstances, would be exemplary members of society, participate in monstrous things - though it's difficult to say if they become monsters."

He says he" sees nothing in the corridors of power" for his kind of sociology; the audience he has in mind for his work are ordinary people "struggling to be human". What preoccupies him is how social conventionts obstruct the possibility of human liberation and it makes him a stern critic of the status quo, particularly in his growing focus on how an individualistic society finds common cause, and how the public realm can be renewed and sustained.

1. "Immediately i saw her, i knew i didn't have to look further and within nine days, i'd proposed. why did i know i didn't need to look any further? i'm not a poet," says Bauman shortly,though he adds that she has been the most important woman in his life. Janina's wry comment on theyr 55 years of marriage is obviously a familiar joke: "We're Poles apart"

The turning point in Bauman's research nevertheless takes place before these famous works, in 1989, with Modernity and Holocaust. A theme that is obviously enormous for anyone, pachyderm for a Jewish sociologist who, thanks to the family's escape to Russia in 1939, had avoided the direct consequences of the Holocaust. Magisterial bridge that builds the dynamics of modernity between the persecution of the Jews, identifying them as elements of destabilization of order, finance against land. In this sense, Bauman makes extermination repeatable, removes it from isolation, transforming it into the fruit of modern civilization, of its economic and efficient rules, to which thought and action are subordinated. The Holocaust as a part of technology and bureaucracy, for which anti-Semitism was necessary but not sufficient reason. A development of the long history of society, almost a horrible test that revealed the hidden possibilities that are difficult to verify in the ordinary.

I was brought up in the kitchen. My mother was a woman of great ambition, inventiveness and imagination, but we were relatively poor and she was confined to the housewife role. My father came back from work in the evening and immediately fell asleep, he was so tired. But I hold him in very high esteem; he was a self-made man. e never went to any schools, but he learnt to read several languages and was an avid reader of wide horizons. Above all, he was amazingly honest.

The escape to Soviet Russia saved Bauman from the worst experiences of wartime Poland: the ghettos, concentration camps and the Holocaust. Indeed, he says that it was not until his wife wrote her own memoirs of life as a young Jewish girl in the Warsaw ghetto that the enormity of the of the suffering hit home. Janina's account, Winter in the Morning, which was published in 1985, describes how she was hidden and survived while much of her extendend family perished.

Zygmunt Bauman is one of the greatest interpreters of our present time, a time which turns into a shapeless mass tending to a constant and relentless change. This is not the modern era, nor the postmodern one, if anything, this period can be well identified as liquid modernity: a concept, able to focus on the transformations that affect human life concerning the general policy determinations of life. Bauman offers no comfortable optimism for the future; in his recent books he has shown a bitter gloominess. (Desirèe IV P)

“Sociology was very interesting to our generation; it was seen as a kind of medicine for many problems, social and phychological, a way of helping people. Now, young people look in a different direction”, says Elzbieta Tarkowska, professor at the Polish Academy of Sciences, who has known Bauman ever since her interview for Warsaw University as an 18 year old.
