Description
An
annotated portfolio of hundreds of people who appear in Baudrillard's books.
The entries in this book are intended to provide the reader with an assessment
of Baudrillard's major and minor influences, numerous people who stimulated
his thinking about a variety of his key concepts, as well as those that
were simply kindred spirits or favorite artists. This work illuminates some
of the most significant, and often surprising, influences on Baudrillard's
thought, and his many references to literary sources. It shows Baudrillard
was paramount among contemporary theorists in showing how, by example, theory
fed off literature and art as our poststructural present advanced after
the mid-1960s.
