Opis

This book documents Baudrillard's encounters with semiology and structuralism, detailing his efforts to destroy structural analyses from the inside by setting signification ablaze with his concept of symbolic exchange. The text also reveals Baudrillard's difficulties in attempting to go beyond signification. It situates Baudrillard's work in the broad spectrum of European and American semiotic traditions.
