About this title

Synopsis

Jean Baudrillard is arguably one of the most central figures in the current debate on postmodernism, and this book is a selection of previously untranslated writings spanning his earliest works of the 1960s, through to his most recent. The book covers the major developments in his analysis of culture and society, the dynamics of his encounters with Marxism, psychoanalysis, feminism, semiotics and postmodernism.
