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.
