From the rear cover
'Dating from 1968 to 2006, from his first to his final interview, this selection covers all the phases of Baudrillard's long career. Clear, coherent and often humorous - the lighting fast responses of a genial philosopher - these interviews catch Baudrillard thinking aloud.' Mike Gane, Loughborough University Profound and original insights into the fate of culture in 25 conversations with Jean Baudrillard Jean Baudrillard (1929-2007) possessed an uncanny knack for divining the secret trajectory of the world. His clear vision and provocative ideas made sense of a bewildering array of contemporary phenomena. Originally published between 1968 and 2009, the interviews collected here - published to mark the tenth anniversary of his death - cover the key themes of Baudrillard's work and provide revelatory new insights into its purpose and conceptual experimentation. Key Features - 25 eloquent conversations, including six translated by Chris Turner where appear here English for the first time - Covers numerous contemporary topics and issues: from architecture, art, photojournalism and photography to war, terrorism and evil - Contains a dialogue with Baudrillard that is contemporaneous with the civil unrest in France and the events of May 1968 - Includes a new English-language transcription of a Q&A with Baudrillard following a lecture he gave in London in 1994 Richard G. Smith is Associate Professor in Human Geography. David B. Clarke is Professor of Human Geography. They are both at Swansea University.
