Abstract: What does the name mean to you?Chances are, if you're taking the time to read these thoughts on the first anniversary of his passing, the name means 'inspiration', 'imagination', perhaps even 'perspiration' if -like us -you've tried to keep up with him in either publication or conversation.If you are from the world of sociology, which he always declared to be his home, then chances are that the name Zygmunt Bauman may also mean 'over-generalisation', perhaps even 'frustration'.Especially in the UK, methodological sensitivities meant that he spent his long academic life held firmly at the threshold for want of a more robust and evidence-based explanation of how he had arrived there.Zygmunt Bauman.A stranger at the door.
