La 13ème édition du Festival « Les Promenades Photographiques de Vendôme » en Loir-et-Cher rend hommage au philosophe, sociologue et photographe Jean Baudrillard, décédé en 2007.
In The Political Economy of the Spectacle and Postmodern Caste, John Asimakopoulos analyzes the political economy of the society of the spectacle, a philosophical concept developed by Guy Debord and Jean Baudrillard. Using the analytical tools of social science and historical research, Asimakopoulos reveals that all societies in every epoch have been and continue to be caste systems legitimized by various ideologies. He concludes that there is no such thing as capitalism (or socialism)-only a caste system hidden behind capitalist ideology. Asimakopoulos's approach is broad, interdisciplinary, and draws on both quantitative and qualitative data to weave a narrative that is clear, well written, and offers much to both specialists and general readers.

Der französische Soziologe, Philosoph und Medientheoretiker Jean Baudrillard (1929-2007) ist hierzulande vor allem für seine einflussreichen Gegenwartsdiagnosen des Medienzeitalters bekannt. Begriffe wie Simulation, Simulakrum und Hyperrealität sind mit seinem Namen untrennbar verbunden. Sein Werk umfasst aber auch Themen wie die Ökonomie des Zeichens, die Ordnung des Konsums, das System der alltäglichen Dinge, die Implosion des Sozialen, das Ende der Geschichte, die Verdrängung des Todes oder die Terroranschläge vom 11. September. Präzise und verständlich führt dieses Buch in die Schriften Baudrillards ein und beleuchtet dabei auch bislang noch kaum erforschte Aspekte seines Werks. Es richtet sich sowohl an Studierende wie auch an Wissenschaftler, die nach einem weiterführenden Beitrag zur Baudrillard-Forschung suchen.
In Education in Radical Uncertainty, Stephen Carney and Ulla Ambrosius Madsen return to the philosophical and social critique of Jean Baudrillard and relate his work to the field of education, particularly to comparative studies of youth and schooling in different parts of the world. The book explores how the initial interest in Baudrillard's work has been replaced by skepticism, and how the field of educational studies has been complicit in marginalizing his influence. The authors argue that labelling Baudrillard as the most extreme of the post-modernists is both misguided and unfortunate, denying a generation of education researchers an engagement with insights that are both profound and challenging. They do so by exploring three of his key ideas: simulation leading to spectacle and seduction; integral reality leading to disappearance; and evil, reversibility and return. The authors situate Baudrillard's works in the broader context of works by other post-foundational theorists, such as Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze, as well as exploring them in relation to empirical studies. Considering ethnographic work with youth in three quite different contexts - Denmark, South Korea and Zambia - the authors use a range of data to bring the different field studies alive and to contrast them with conventional portraits of the Global South. Encompassing both theoretical and methodological innovation, Education in Radical Uncertainty provides inspiration for scholars and students attempting to approach fields of comparative education and youth studies anew-- | Author: Stephen Carney, Ulla Ambrosius Madsen | Publisher: Bloomsbury Academic | Publication Date: 12-Aug-21 | Number of Pages: 304 pages | Language: English | Binding: Hardcover | ISBN-10: 1474298834 | ISBN-13: 9781474298834
Drawing upon the long tradition of recalcitrant thought in Western humanist scholarship, this book rethinks education and educational research at a time of intense social transformation. By revisiting a range of post-foundational ideas and developing their own methodological experiment, Stephen Carney and Ulla Ambrosius Madsen reimagine the possibilities for the comparative study of education. Exploring the experiences of young people in Denmark, South Korea and Zambia, this book illustrates how these very different contexts are increasingly connected by common narratives of purpose, as well as overheated promises of success. Focusing on the writings of Jean Baudrillard, the authors examine them in the context of works by other theorists of modernity, to explore processes of simulation and disappearance that are shaping life worldwide. In the process, the authors paint a rich portrait of education and schooling as a site of joy, hope, pain and ambivalence. Encompassing both theoretical and methodological innovation, Education in Radical Uncertainty provides inspiration for scholars and students attempting to approach the fields of comparative education, education policy and youth studies anew. 31 bw illus

Illustrated guide to the controversial sociologist Jean Baudrillard, who died in 2007. Did the Gulf War take place? Is it possible to fake a bank robbery? Was sexual liberation a disaster? Jean Baudrillard has been hailed as one of France's most subtle and powerful theorists. But his provocative style and assaults on sociology, feminism and Marxism have exposed him to accusations of promoting a dangerous new orthodoxy - of being the 'pimp' of postmodernism. Introducing Baudrillard cuts beneath the controversy of this misunderstood intellectual to present his radical claims that reality has been replaced by a simulated world of images and events ranging from TV news to Disneyland. It provides a clear account of Baudrillard's work on obesity, pornography and terrorism and traces his development from critic of mass consumption to prophet of the apocalypse. Chris Horrocks' text and Zoran Jevtic?s artwork invite us to decide whether Baudrillard was a cure for the vertigo of contemporary culture - or one of its symptoms Illustrations, unspecified

Jean Baudrillard (via zealotry)
Highlights In his new book, perhaps the most cogent expression of his mature thought, Jean Baudrillard turns detective in order to investigate a crime which he hopes may yet be solved: the "murder" of reality. About the Author: Jean Baudrillard (1929-2007) began teaching sociology at the Université de Paris-X in 1966. 176 Pages Philosophy, Metaphysics Series Name: Radical Thinkers Description About the Book The thinker whose work constitutes some of the founding documents of postmodern theory turns detective to investigate the murder of reality. Book Synopsis In his new book, perhaps the most cogent expression of his mature thought, Jean Baudrillard turns detective in order to investigate a crime which he hopes may yet be solved: the "murder" of reality. To solve the crime would be to unravel the social and technological processes by which reality has quite simply vanished under the deadly glare of media "real time." But Baudrillard is not merely intending to lament the disappearance of the real, an occurrence he recently described as "the most important event of modern history," nor even to meditate upon the paradoxes of reality and illusion, truth and its masks. The Perfect Crime is also the work of a great moraliste: a penetrating examination of vital aspects of the social, political and cultural life of the "advanced democracies" in the (very) late twentieth century. Where critics like McLuhan once exposed the alienating consequences of "the medium," Baudrillard lays bare the depredatory effects of an oppressive transparency on our social lives, of a relentless positivity on our critical faculties, and of a withering 'high definition' on our very sense of reality. Review Quotes "Rarely do words convey such urgency as on a page by Baudrillard."--Los Angeles Times "Prophet of the apocalypse, hysterical lyricist of panic, obsessive recounter of the desolation of the postmodern scene and the hottest property on the New York intellectual circuit."--Guardian "The most important French thinker of the past twenty years."--J.G. Ballard "A sharp-shooting lone ranger of the post-Marxist left."--New York Times About the Author Jean Baudrillard (1929-2007) began teaching sociology at the Université de Paris-X in 1966. He retired from academia in 1987 to write books and travel until his death in 2007. His many works include Simulations and Simulacra, America, The Perfect Crime, The System of Objects, Passwords, The Transparency of Evil, The Spirit of Terrorism, and Fragments, among others.
Jean Baudrillard's last book was about America. His new one is about cats, Foucault, Alfa Romeas, leukemia, Catholicism, the Berlin Wall, mattresses, Laurent Fabius, Jean-Paul II, roses, Antarctica, Lech Walesa, mud wrestling, Zinoviev, porn films, snow, feminism, Rio, Jacques Lacan, Stevie Wonder, Palermo, DNA and terrorism. "Cool Memories is the other side of America, the disillusioned side, presented in the form of a diary, though not in the classical sense. I'm trying to grasp a world in all its silences and its brutality. Can you grasp a world when you're no longer tied to it by some kind of ideological enthusiasm, or by traditional passions? Can things "tell" themselves through stories and fragments? These are some of the questions posed in a book which may seem melancholic. But then I think almost every diary is melancholic. Melancholy is in the very state of things."
La consommation est devenue la morale de notre monde. Elle est en train de détruire les bases de l'être humain, c'est-à-dire l'équilibre que la pensée européenne, depuis les Grecs, a maintenu entre les racines mythologiques et le monde du logos. L'auteur précise : « Comme la société du Moyen Âge s'équilibre sur la consommation et sur le diable, ainsi la nôtre s'équilibre sur la consommation et sur sa dénonciation. »

Die Graffiti machen die Flächen und Wände der Stadt oder die U-Bahnen und Busse wieder zu einem Körper. Indem SUPER-SEX und SUPERKOOL ihre leeren Zeichen ins Fleisch der Wände einritzen, sie tätowieren, machen sie Schluss mit der Raum/Zeit der urbanen Transportmittel. Die U-Bahnzüge sausen vorbei wie Projektile, wie eine bis zu den Augen tätowierte Hydra.
