PlasticPills | Postmodernism is Good Actually: Jean Baudrillard's Philosophy | Plastic Pills @PlasticPills | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 1 hour ago
This video is a companion piece to my Society of the Spectacle video (youtu.be/0blWjssVoUQ) and I wrote it by putting three different chapters of 80s Baudrillard into a blender: "Ecstasy of Communication" from Ecstasy of Communication (amzn.to/3KgBzui), "Ironic Strategies" from Fatal Strategies (amzn.to/3usNspr) and "The Implosion of Meaning in the Media" from Simulacra and Simulation (amzn.to/3KarO0F). They figure as a challenge to humanist social theory, including the Marxist humanism espoused by Guy Debord.
If you want more we discussed Baudrillard as "post-marxist" recently on the podcast: youtu.be/qXXOIGav_5s
I also covered Fatal Strategies in a series of 8 videos on Patreon: patreon.com/plasticpills
