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.
