The first full-length translation in English of an essential work
of postmodernism.The publication of Simulacra et Simulation in 1981
marked Jean Baudrillard's first important step toward theorizing
the postmodern. Moving away from the Marxist/Freudian approaches
that had concerned him earlier, Baudrillard developed in this book
a theory of contemporary culture that relies on displacing economic
notions of cultural production with notions of cultural
expenditure. Baudrillard uses the concepts of the simulacra - the
copy without an original - and simulation. These terms are crucial
to an understanding of the postmodern, to the extent that they
address the concept of mass reproduction and reproduceability that
characterizes our electronic media culture. Baudrillard's book
represents a unique and original effort to rethink cultural theory
from the perspective of a new concept of cultural materialism, one
that radically redefines postmodern formulations of the body.
