书名: Baudrillard's Bestiary: Baudrillard and Culture
作者: Mike Gane (Author)
出版社: Routledge; 1 edition (November 22, 1991)
语言: English
ISBN-10: 0415063078
ISBN-13: 978-0415063074
Book Description
This book provides an introduction to Baudrillard's cultural theory: the conception of modernity and the complex process of simulation. It examines his literary essays: his confrontation with Calvino, Styron, Ballard, and Borges. It offers a coherent account of Baudrillard's theory of cultural ambience, and the culture of consumer society. It also provides an introduction to Baudrillard's fiction-theory, and the analysis of transpolitical figures.
The book also includes an interesting and provocative comparison of Baudrillard's powerful essay against the modernist Pompidou Centre in Paris and Fredric Jameson's analysis of the Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles. An interpretation of this encounter leads to the presentation of a very different Baudrillard from that which figures in contemporary debates on postmodernism. Informative and consistently challenging, this book will be of interest to students of Sociology and Cultural Studies.
