Challenging Zygmunt Bauman's characterization of "liquid modernity," where everything has become unstable, precarious, and uncertain, Carlo Bordoni causes us to reconsider our present condition. Bordoni, Bauman's co-author on State of Crisis, proposes to look at contemporary society as an "interregnum," a temporary break with the past. In an era characterized 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, being aware of its instability and the social degradation that it entails, can help us to make the right choices.

Industry Reviews

Interregnum casts very welcome doubts about the many rushed attempts at offering grand theories for the present.--Peter Wagner, University of Barcelona
Interregnum is a concept and a book which opens exciting new ways of thinking about the confusions and possibilities of the world in which we live. We owe a debt of gratitude to Carlo Bordoni for the stimulation his timely intervention provides.--Keith Tester, La Trobe University, Melbourne
