false 927439 10 In this shimmering manifesto against dialectics, Jean Baudrillard constructs a condemnatory ethics of the "false problem." One foot in social science, the other in speculation about the history of ideas, this text epitomizes the assault that Baudrillard has made on the history of Western philosophy. Posing such anti-questions as "Must we put information on a diet?" Baudrillard cuts across historical and contemporary space with profound observations on American corporations, arms build-up, hostage-taking, transgression, truth, and the fate of theory itself. Not only an important map of Baudrillard's continuing examination of evil, this essay is also a profound critique of 1980s American politics at the time when the author was beginning to have his incalculable effect on a generation of this country's artists and theorists. 2177523 1983 Fatal Strategies (Semiotext(e) / Double Agents) total:35|5:2|4:1|3:0|2:1|1:0| 35 152 49 5 0 0 false false Sat Mar 07 19:01:00 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 09 00:48:46 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Mar 04 06:37:25 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 04 06:39:27 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Fri Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Wed Aug 01 21:25:44 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 01 21:30:58 -0700 2007 Fatal Strategies JB lets his 'outlaw sociologist' persona drive the text. The unhinged result is both challenging and entertaining.

Very ugly cover. It has that digital collage look that was so modern in the early eighties.]]> 5 0 false false Mon May 26 08:26:59 -0700 2008 Mon May 26 08:29:11 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 -0800 1914 Tue Oct 09 16:55:29 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 09 16:57:01 -0700 2007
Baudrillard at his best is really a sight to see. Or to read. Or to experience in the form of sensation. I love this man. Physically.
