With the ever-greater mediatization of society, Baudrillard argues that we are witnessing the virtualization of our world, a disappearance of reality itself, and perhaps the impossibility of any exchange at all. This disenchanted perspective has become the rallying point for all those who reject the traditional sociological and philosophical paradigms of our age. Passwords offers us twelve accessible and enjoyable entry points into Baudrillard's thought by way of the concepts he uses throughout his work: the object, seduction, value, impossible exchange, the obscene, the virtual, symbolic exchange, the transparency of evil, the perfect crime, destiny, duality, and thought.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 198mmItem Length: 132mmItem Width: 10mmItem Weight: 131gBook Series: Radical Thinkers Set 05Release Year: 2011 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
