Moving away from the Marxist/Freudian approaches that had concerned him earlier, Baudrillard developed in this book a theory of contemporary culture that relies on displacing economic notions of cultural production with notions of cultural expenditure. Baudrillard uses the concepts of the simulacra - the copy without an original - and simulation. These terms are crucial to an understanding of the postmodern, to the extent that they address the concept of mass reproduction and reproduceability that characterizes our electronic media culture. Baudrillard's book represents a unique and original effort to rethink cultural theory from the perspective of a new concept of cultural materialism, one that radically redefines postmodern formulations of the body.Country/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 133mmItem Weight: 218gTranslator: Sheila Faria GlaserContributor: Sheila Faria Glaser (Translated by)Genre: Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: Body in Theory: Histories of Cultural MaterialismRelease Year: 1994 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
