Jean Baudrillard is a central figure in the area of sociology and
cultural studies today, but his writings infuriate as many people
as they intoxicate. This collection aims to provide a wide-ranging,
measured assessment of Baudrillard's work. The contributors examine
Baudrillard's relation to consumption, modernity, postmodernity,
social theory, feminism, politics and culture. They attempt to
steer a clear course between the hype which Baudrillard himself has
done much to generate, and the solid value of his startling
thoughts. Baudrillard's ideas and style of expression provide a
challenge to established academic ways of proceeding and thinking.
The book explores this challenge and speculates on the reason for
the extreme responses to Baudrillard's work. The appeal of
Baudrillard's arguments is clearly discussed and his place in
contemporary social theory is shrewdly assessed. Baudrillard
emerges as a chameleon figure, but one who is obsessed with the
central themes of style, hypocrisy, seduction, simulation and
fatality.
