Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: In this, his most important collection of essays since Le systeme des objets, Jean Baudrillard contemplates Western culture âafter the orgyââthe orgy, that is, of the revolutions of the 1960s. The sexual revolution has led, he argues, not to sexual liberation but to a reign of transvestism, to a confusion of the categories of man and womanâto the âandrogenous and Frankenstein appeal of a Michael Jackson.â The revolution in art has led to a âtransaesthetic realm of indifference.â The cybernetic revolution has blurred the distinction between man and machine, while the political revolution has led to a âtranspoliticsâ that merely simulates old political forms. Such are the points of Baudrillardâs compass as he steers his way through the mental landscape of this febrile fin de siecle.
