Biografisk notat
Carlo Bordoni (born 1946) is a sociologist, journalist and writer. He has taught sociology at the Universities of Milan, Pisa and Florence and the Oriental Institute in Naples. 1990-2003 he was professor of Media Studies at the academy of fine arts in Carrarra. He writes for »Il Corriere della Sera« and 'Social Europe Journal' and is the author of 'State of Crisis' (Polity Press 2014) with Zygmunt Bauman. His research fields are cultural, political and social change as well as Sociology of literature.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.
