Baudrillard and Signs - Signification Ablaze (Paperback)

This book documents Baudrillard's encounters with semiology and structuralism, detailing his efforts to destroy structural analyses from the inside by setting signification ablaze with his concept of symbolic exchange. The text also reveals Baudrillard's difficulties in attempting to go beyond signification. It situates Baudrillard's work in the broad spectrum of European and American semiotic traditions. The book also traces the development of his key concept of symbolic exchange over 30 years of theorizing. It discusses Baudrillard's engagements with and debts to French theatre and literature, with reference to Antoin Artaud, Alfred Jarry and Victor Segalen. Finally, it considers Baudrillard's relation to the thought of Deleuze, Guattari, Lacan, de Certeau and Lyotard.
