- Summary:
- The writings of Jean Baudrillard have dramatically altered the face of critical theory and promise to pose challenges well into the twenty-first century. His work on simulation, media, the status of the image, the system of objects, hyperreality, and information technology grow increasingly prescient and continue to influence intellectual work in many disciplines. This volume uniquely provides both overviews of Baudrillard's career and examples of current engagements with Baudrillard's work and thought, thus offering chapters useful to the novice and the well-versed in critical theory and Baudrillard studies alike. Contributors to the volume include John Armitage, John Beck, Ryan Bishop, Doug Kellner, John Phillips, and Mark Poster.
- Baudrillard Now provokes sustained interaction with one of philosophy's most important, provocative, and stimulating thinkers. Book jacket.
