Jean Baudrillard, alternately provocative and astonishing, is one
of the leading theorists of media and culture. Regarded by many as
the chief prophet of postmodernism, his writings raise important
issues about the changing nature of social and political life in
our contemporary, media-saturated age.
This book makes his most important writings available in a single
volume. It includes selections from the entire range of his work,
from his early writings on consumer culture and the political
economy of the sign to his more recent work on desire, simulation
and the 'hyperreal'.
This new edition includes five new extracts from Baudrillard's
writings in the 1990s, including his writings on the Gulf War, on
the internet and his autobiographical reflections. It also includes
an updated introduction by Mark Poster which provides an extremely
lucid overview of Baudrillard's work.
"
Jean Baudrillard: Selected Writings" is an excellent introduction
to the thought of one of the most important and influential
thinkers of our day.
