‘the capital of fear can be turned to any kind of profit, commercial or political. And it is personal safety that has become a major, perhaps even the major selling point in all sorts of marketing strategies.’
Zygmunt Bauman, Liquid Modern Life and its Fears, p. 12 in Liquid Times, 2007.
Dit eerste essay in Liquid Times, Living in an Age of Uncertainty is hoogst actueel in de huidige Covid-19 crisis. Goed om te lezen in deze tijd waarin onze vrijheden sterk beperkt worden ‘voor onze persoonlijke en gezamenlijk gezondheid’.
