Carnival and Cannibal, or the Play of Global Antagonism (Hardback) (ISBN: 9781906497200) Baudrillard, Jean Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Seagull Books London Ltd, United Kingdom, 2010. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 186 x 120 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. In "Carnival and Cannibal", distinguished French philosopher Jean Baudrillard (1929-2007) reflects on many of his most important ideas concerning the significance of language and the relationship between the technological and the social. In this, one of his final works, Baudrillard identifies two fatal modes in which the world is currently engaged: the carnival and the cannibal, arguing essentially that contemporary society is transfixed by the spectacle of its own cultural creation and self-consumption. Revisiting his most important concepts - such as reversibility, simulation, parody, and symbolic exchange - through the exploration of these two dominant modes, Baudrillard delivers a blistering diagnosis of globalization, as inflicted on the world by the richer nations. In the companion essay "Ventriloquous Evil", Baudrillard meditates on our present system of global technological and ideological domination, which has eradicated human accountability. Baudrillard argues that 'this entire electronic, cybernetic revolution is perhaps merely a piece of animal cunning that humanity has found in order to escape itself'.A brilliant synthesis of some of Baudrillard's most remarkable and influential ideas, "Carnival and Cannibal" is a timely and formidable exploration of a humanity that has cannibalized the human.

Carnival and Cannibal Ventriloquous Evil (ISBN: 1906497206 / 1-906497-20-6) Baudrillard, Jean Quantity Available: 4
Book Description: Seagull Books. Book Condition: New. pp. [vi] + 92 'Carnival and Cannibal' dissects the antagonism between globalizing Western modernity and traditional cultures. An initial impression of a carnivalesque culture of colonizing modernity being both derided and eagerly 'cannibalized' by subject populations gives way to a subtler picture in which Western culture is already a caricature of itself. For example, the carnivalesque elevation of Bush or Schwarzenegger to positions of power is shown not to be a perversion of the Western system but its normal operation, since that power actually consists in the fascination exerted by a vacuous, Disneyfied.
