This is an expanded edition of the first comprehensive overview of the work of Jean Baudrillard, one of the most fascinating thinkers on the French intellectual scene. To the original selection of his writings from 1968 to 1985, this new edition adds examples of Baudrillard's work since that time. Reviews of the First Edition "This is a good book, and the author of its selected writings, Jean Baudrillard, deserves only a share of the compliment. It is difficult to introduce a difficult author, and Mark Poster has done a brilliant job. He has selected wisely from Baudrillard's writings. . . . More important, Poster has written what may be, pound for pound, the best introduction to a social theorist I have read. . . . Poster has somehow said everything the uninitiated needs to know before deciding to read Baudrillard."—Contemporary Sociology "Following the lead of thinkers such as Foucault, Derrida, and Deleuze, Baudrillard engages in a task of pointing away from any traditional sociological themes. His writings demand that one turn away from convenient or customary interpretations of society and, in the process, one is forced to use his or her imagination in new ways."—Choice "Poster's Introduction presents what is probably as clear and intelligent an exposition of Baudrillard's ideas as you'll find anywhere."—Philosophy and Literature

  • Zurman
    5.0 out of 5 stars Baudrillard is to be counted as one of the more profound critics of Americana.
    Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2014

    Baudrillard is a keen observer, one of the best critics of American culture; he sees that spiritual progress - however one views this phrase - cannot be attained through the fluff technology that stifles the public today.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Blowing Smoke Out of You Know Where
    Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    I've read Bachelard's Poetics of Space. I've read Lyotard's The Postmodern Condition. I've read both Mythologies and The Pleasure of the Text by Barthes. I've even read Derrida's Of Grammatology and Writing and Difference and once, in a pinch, surprised myself by giving a fairly cogent summary of the central strategy of deconstruction. What I'm saying is that I'm fairly used to French philosophers waving their hands and blowing a lot a smoke until they hit on something brilliant, then blustering their way through to the next brilliant bit. Baudrillard? My eyes glaze over.
