Reflection of Zygmunt Bauman's fluid modernity approach to communication phenomenon

Human beings are social creatures and one of its most basic feature is to be in communication. Different definitions have been made for the communication phenomenon in the literature. The common emphasis of these definitions is that human beings are in interaction. In this context, it is possible to evaluate the concept of communication as the crossroads of life. The passing of time changes, transforms and carries life to a different dimension. On the other hand, the change in life causes the communication phenomenon to change like everything else. In this study, which takes a critical view of the a mentioned change and transformation, sociologist Zygmunt Bauman's definition of "Fluid Modernity" and other views were used. In general, it is aimed to reveal the semantic equivalent of the communication understanding and functioning style of the postmodern period.
