diabolically nietzschean
critics of "postmodernism" often fail to see past ideological blinders or perhaps are just too lazy to actually read the works of (anti)theorists like jean baudrillard. this collection is superb as mark poster offers a concise overview of baudrillard's "project" and also reveals baudrillard's work in all its iconoclasm and hyperbole all at once...

A prominent instance of chic obfuscation.
Like so much travelling these days under the fashionable banner of "post-modernism," Baudrillard and his ilk fuel the arrogant irrelevancy that has reached epidemic proportions in the lower reaches of the Humanities, exemplified by that most dubious of 'disciplines,' "cultural studies."

This review is from: Jean Baudrillard: Selected Writings (Paperback)
Like so much travelling these days under the fashionable banner of "post-modernism," Baudrillard and his ilk fuel the arrogant irrelevancy that has reached epidemic proportions in the lower reaches of the Humanities, exemplified by that most dubious of 'disciplines,' "cultural studies." A no less fashionable curative to this pretentious non-sense is the (otherwise, but much more fruitfully, problematic) work of Richard Rorty, particularly his widely-read book, CONTINGENCY, IRONY AND SOLIDARITY.
