  • Sorry, but--as with its Germanic philosophical forefathers (i.e., Heidegger)--French post mod philosophy-speak now strikes me as faux-profound. A pretty thin gruel, ideas-wise, for a great deal of spade-work required to follow the thread of the thought. Read Freud and forget Lacan, read Nietzsche and forget Heidegger, Derrida, Foucault, et. al. Better still, read Shakespeare, Wordsworth and Keats & forget the lot of 'em (except Nietzsche)! Grad school flashback time--oh, the horror! The horror!

  • The sound is secondary.

  • Baudrillard only says that he is "more left than Marx" because he resists the Marixist idea that cultural practices outside of production do not have value.

  • rfgd

  • A LA VERGA SIN BAUDRILLARD...

  • YouTube is the perfect example of the "reciprocity" Baudrillard dreamed of that wasn't possible with T.V. medium. The producer/consumer model is now transgressed.

  • Equally fascinating and flawed.

    There's no way a theory so depoliticising and lacking in pragmatism could belong to the left. Yet Baudrillard pictures himself as 'more left than Marx'?

    Baudrillard's work stands in itself like an ironic allegory for the cultural logic of late capitalism.

  • haha! :) Nice story.

  • My political theory professor met Baudrillard when he was in grad school when Baudrillard spoke on his campus. He goes to a bar with Baudrillard an a Brazilian student studying abroad. My prof. starts spouting off his analysis of Baudrillards "Simulation and Simulacra," Debord and all that.

    "So what do you think?" my prof asks Baudrillard

    "Baudrillard takes a drink, looks at him, looks at the other student and says, "So... tell me about Brazil."

    Jean, you are sorely missed.
