A material analysis of the sign which deepens Marx's critique of political economy for spectacular times.
Jean Baudrillard è stato un sociologo e filosofo francese la cui opera è frequentemente associata al postmodernismo e al post-strutturalismo. La sua filosofia è incentrata sui concetti gemelli di 'iperrealtà' e 'simulazione', che descrivono la natura virtuale della cultura contemporanea dominata dalla comunicazione di massa e dal consumo. Baudrillard credeva che abitassimo un mondo di esperienze simulate, avendo perso la capacità di comprendere la realtà così come realmente esiste. Il suo pensiero esplora come la distinzione tra il reale e la sua riproduzione sia diventata confusa.







A material analysis of the sign which deepens Marx's critique of political economy for spectacular times.
”Симулякры и симуляция” - одна из важнейших работ выдающегося философа-постмодерниста, культуролога и социолога Жана Бодрийяра. Самая полная и доступная для восприятия книга подобной тематики, с которой можно начинать погружение в мир современной философии. Автор дает наиболее развернутые определения таким понятиям как, ”гиперреальность” и ”симулякры”, давно уже вошедших в массовый обиход. Это произведение помогло множеству людей по всему миру взглянуть на нашу реальность с принципиально иной стороны, с позиции признания ее фиктивной, поддельной, ”копией копии”, иллюзорной субстанцией, а также вдохновила кинематографистов на создание культового фильма ”Матрица”.

Jean Baudrillard je známy francúzsky postmoderný filozof, sociológ a fotograf. V knihe Heslá spôsobom autokomentára vysvetľuje sám seba, resp. základné pojmy, ktoré vo svojich ostatných knihách (Symbolická výmena a smrť, Priezračnosť zla, Simulakra a simulácia, Amerika, Zabudnúť na Foucaulta, atď.) filozoficky rozpracoval (podobe ako to svojho času urobil G. Deleuze vo svojom Abecedaire). Pojmy, ktoré Baudrillard v knihe slovníkovým spôsobom objasňuje, sú: objekt/predmet, hodnota, symbolická výmena, zvádzanie, aleatorickosť, virtualita, chaos, hranica, dokonalý zločin, osud, myslenie, obscénnosť, virtualita, priezračnosť zla, dualita. Štruktúra knihy je teda daná slovníkovým, abecedným zoradením jednotlivých hesiel za sebou. Všetky uvedené heslá sa priebežne objavujú v rozmanitých variáciách vo viacerých Baudrillardových textoch. Baudrillard zatiaľ do slovenčiny nebol preložený, predkladaná kniha je jeho prvý slovenský preklad.
The book provides a critical analysis of François Mitterrand's ascent to power and the allure of political authority for the French Left. It chronicles the political landscape of France from 1977 to 1984, examining the complex relationship between the Socialist Party and the Communist Party. Through a collection of previously published commentaries, it explores Baudrillard's concept of simulacrum in politics, revealing how political narratives can distort reality and influence public perception.
Baudrillard's "The Ecstasy of Communication" is a pivotal work summarizing two decades of his radical theory, reflecting on contemporary alienation and the shift from meaningful existence to constant communication. This anti-manifesto critiques influences like McLuhan and remains a crucial companion to Baudrillard's oeuvre, offering a dark reflection on modernity.
The book explores the concept of self-deterrence among Western powers, suggesting that traditional deterrence strategies have been internalized, leading to an inability to effectively utilize their own power. This internalized deterrence creates a paradox where the very measures intended to prevent conflict hinder the realization of military and political strength, impacting international relations and the dynamics of power.
The art of living today has shifted to a continuous state of the experimental. In one of his last texts, Telemorphosis, renowned thinker and anti-philosopher Jean Baudrillard takes on the task of thinking and reflecting on the coming digital media architectures of the social. While "the social" may have never existed, according to Baudrillard, his analysis at the beginning of the twenty-first century of the coming social media-networked cultures cannot be ignored. One need not look far in order to find oneself snared within some sort of screenification of a techno-social community. "What the most radical critical critique, the most subversive delirious imagination, what no Situationist drift could have done . . . television has done." Collective reality has entered a realm of telemorphosis.
Quintessential thinker of the postmodern on the uniqueness of all things
Baudrillard's unsettling coda: previously unpublished texts written just before the visionary theorist's death in 2007.
Diese hier erstmals als Buch auf Deutsch veröff entlichte Studie zählt zu den konzisesten und wichtigsten Abhandlungen Baudrillards und ist doch eine der am wenigsten bekannten. Er beschäft igt sich darin mit den Grenzen der Soziologie, der Informationstheorie und den Th eorien von »Masse«, für ihn der »Nullpunkt des Politischen«. Baudrillard formuliert eine Informationstheorie, nach der »die Masse ein Medium ist, das stärker ist als alle Medien «.
