ReviewsInterregnum 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., Interregnum casts very welcome doubts about the many rushed attempts at offering grand theories for the present., What is this interregnum? Modernity is not liquid but viscous: it splatters, and calls out new interpreters like Bordoni., This brilliant essay offers a lucid and surprising answer to a longforgotten or in its broad scope even suppressed question: Where do we stand today, how can the situation of our western societies be analyzed if we don't want to stick to the old debates on modernism, postmodernism, and second or liquid modernities? For Bordoni our western societies are characterized by an end of mass- and class-structures, a return of the individual, new forms of precarization and commodification, but also by the emergence of communities beyond territory, multilocalisms and a cosmopolitism of migration. If we no longer take the uncertainties of this global situation as a danger but as a political chance and task, we can portray our epoch as an interregnum. Modernity, the old sovereign resigned and something totally unexpected is on its way. The possible shape of the new sovereign can only be deciphered from the traits of the old sovereign's disappearance

SynopsisChallenging 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., 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.
