Closely interviewed by the French journalist Philippe Petit,
Baudrillard covers a vast range of topics, including Fukuyama, 1989
and the collapse of Communism; Bosnia, the Gulf War, Rwanda and the
New World Order; globalization and universalization; the return of
ethnic nationalisms; the nature of war; revisionism and Holocaust
denial; Deleuze, Foucalt, Bataille and Virilio; nihilism and the
apocalyptic; the practice of writing; virtual reality; the west and
the East; the culture of victimhood and repentance; human rights
and citizenship; French intellectuals and engagement; the nature of
capitalism today; consumer society and social exclusion;
liberation; death, violence and necrophilia; reality, illusion and
the media; and destabilization of all aspects of life including
sexuality. Baudrillard's answers-which span politics, philosophy
and culture-are concise, witty and trenchant, and they serve as
both an accessible introduction to his ideas for the unfamiliar and
a fascinating clarification of recent positions for the
connoisseur.
