Baudrillard and Signs: Signification Ablaze by Gary Genosko (English) Hardcover

Description: Baudrillard and Signs by Gary Genosko Addresses "the semiotic problem" in Baudrillards social and cultural criticism and provides a discussion of its development in relation to semiology, structuralism and poststructuralism. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Baudrillard and Signs documents Baudrillards tempestuous encounters with semiology and structuralism. It illuminates in detail his efforts to destroy structural analyses from the inside by setting signification ablaze with his concept of symbolic exchange. Simultaneously, the book shows that Baudrillards project to go beyond signification is fraught with difficulties which return him to a semiotic scene saturated with all kinds of signs. The book places Baudrillards work in the broad spectrum of European and American semiotic traditions. It also provides a critical appreciation of Baudrillards key concept of symbolic exchange while tracing its maturation and its development over some thirty years of theorizing. Genosko also discusses Baudrillards engagements with, and debts to, French theatre and literature with reference to Antoin Artaud, Alfred Jarry and Victor Segalen. Allied to the discussion of Baudrillards relation to the thought of Deleuze, Guattari, Lacan, de Certeau and Lyotard, he casts light on many neglected features of Baudrillards work.
