Zusammenfassung
Es ist schwer, mit Zygmunt Bauman Schritt zu halten. Gerade als dieses Kapitel geschrieben wurde, erschien ein neues Buch „The Individualized Society“ (Bauman 2000b). Der Herausgeber beschreibt dieses vorläufig letzte Buch wie folgt: „We are spurred into action by our troubles and fears; but all too often our action fails to address the true causes of our worries. When trying to make sense of our lives, we tend to blame our own failings and weaknesses for our discomforts and defeats. And in doing so, we make things worse rather than better. Reasonable beings that we are, how does this happen and why does it go on happening? [...] (The) task of sociology is not to censor or correct the storys we tell of our lives, but to show that there are more ways in which our life storys can be told. By bringing into view the many complex dependencies invisible from the vantage point of private experience, sociology can help us to link our individual decisions and actions to the deeper causes of our troubles and fears — to the ways we live, to the conditions under which we act, to the socially drawn limits of our imagination and ambition. Sociology can help us to understand the processes that have shaped the society in which we live today, a society in which individualization has become our fate. And sociology can also help us to see that if our individual but shared anxieties are to be effectively tackled, they need to be addressed collectively, true to their social, not individual, nature.“ (Bauman 2000b: Buchdeckel)
