LIQUID LOVE: ON THE FRAILTY OF HUMAN BONDS […]
The tone of Liquid Love isn’t elegiacal, or not often. Rather, Bauman’s book is a hymn to what he calls our liquid modern society. (…) The work of the liquid modern is likewise never done, but it takes much more imagination. Bauman finds his hero working everywhere – jabbering into mobile phones, addictively texting, leaping from one chat room to another, internet dating (whose key appeal, Bauman notes, is that you can always delete a dating without pain or peril). The liquid modern is forever at work, forever replacing quality of relationship with quantity. What’s the significance of all this anxious work? For Bauman the medium is not the message - the new gadgets we use hardly determine who we are. Nor are the messages that people send each other significant in themselves; rather, the message is the circulation of messages. The sense of belonging or security that the liquid modern creates consists in being cocooned in a web of messages. That way, we hope, the vexing problem of freedom and security will disappear. We text, argues Bauman, therefore we are. “We belong,” he writes, “to the even flow of words and unfinished sentences (abbreviated, to be sure, truncated to speed up the circulation). We belong to talking, not what talking about…So stop talking – and you are out. Silence equals exclusion.” (…) It is the fear of silence and the exclusion it implies makes us anxious that our ingeniously assembled security will fall apart. (…)

ANOTHER TWO BRAZIL DAMS ‘AT RISK OF COLLAPSING’ Brazilian mining company Samarco says two dams it uses to hold waste from iron production are damaged and at risk of collapsing
One of the company’s reservoir burst earlier this month, flooding dozens of homes in the southeastern state of Minas Gerais. Eleven people were killed and 12 are missing presumed dead. Emergency work to try to avoid another breach will begin immediately and will last up to 90 days, the company said. The company initially said that two of its dams – Fundao e Germano – had burst on 5 November. But it has now clarified that only the Fundao reservoir collapsed. Germano and another nearby dam, Santarem, are still standing but are at risk, said Samarco’s Infrastructure Director Kleber Terra.
‘First instalment’ Samarco is owned by mining giants Vale, from Brazil, and Anglo-Australian company BHP Billiton. It agreed on Monday to pay the Brazilian government 1bn reais (…) compensation. The money will be used to cover the initial clean-up and to offer some compensation to the victims and their families. Disponível em: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-3485 1895.
