The first critical study of Jean Baudrillard’s media theory and the place of his thinking in media studies.
Baudrillard is a highly trendy thinker but one whose work can be obscure and densely theoretical, and this book makes accessible for the first time his most controversial and talked about theories for undergraduate students.
Employs a vast range of contemporary examples, from 9/11 and the wars in Afghan and Iraq to The Matrix.
Explains the complex ideas and theories in Baudrillard’s works in a clear and jargon-free manner.
Offers an overview and evaluation of the key arguments and themes in Baudrillard’s works, clearly situating these within the wider field of media theory.
