Abstract:

This study aims to reveal the effects of Zygmunt Bauman on social sciences in general and sociology in particular. In order to see these effects, Bauman's work in the Web of Science (WOS) database and publications referring to these studies have been examined. Although Bauman's own research seems to be focused on a number of basic themes, as is the case with visualization developed on the keywords, the texts produced via them have spread to a wide range of research fields such as Anthropology, Literature, History, Philosophy, International Relations, Business and Economics, Urban Studies, Public Administration and Education. Today, Bauman's domain of influence has expanded considerably with his contributions to psychology, ethics and communication fields and his views in researches are included many subjects such as globalization, mass culture, new media, social inequality and migration. The tables and graphics that are presented here make clear his position in the scientific world and allow us to make a strong prediction that his effects will continue to increase.
