TABET, Simon. Intellectual Itinerary and Reception of Zygmunt Bauman in France. Rev. mex. cienc. polít. soc [online]. 2017, vol.62, n.230, pp.305-328. ISSN 0185-1918.

Zygmunt Bauman’s sociology has known very divers receptions, depending on the intellectual contexts and periods of writing. Through a study of the proliferous work of the author, this article aims at describing the different steps of this path, in order to grasp the process leading to such disparities. This analysis will try to explain the feeble reception of the thinker within the French intellectual sphere, as well as the several polemics engendered by his work in the English-speaking academic world. Lastly, this article would like to partially define the form and status of what the author has called “liquid sociology” in recent years.
