Description
It is in the deserts of postmodernity where Baudrillard both found
and left us. It is in these deserts that we become aware, as did
Baudrillard and other poststructuralist thinkers, that theory
precedes the world (there is nothing that can be said of the world
that is not already framed by our approach to it). It is within
Coulter's absolutely lucid exploration - and it goes without saying
that the work of Jean Baudrillard should be recognized in such an
appropriate revelation - that Baudrillard's thought is unveiled.
