Postmodernism is Good Actually: Jean Baudrillard's Philosophy | Plastic Pills

This video is a companion piece to my Society of the Spectacle video (   • Society of Spectacle | Guy Debord  ) and I wrote it by putting three different chapters of 80s Baudrillard into a blender: "Ecstasy of Communication" from Ecstasy of Communication (https://amzn.to/3KgBzui), "Ironic Strategies" from Fatal Strategies (https://amzn.to/3usNspr) and "The Implosion of Meaning in the Media" from Simulacra and Simulation (https://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:    • Baudrillard as Post-Marxist @PlasticP...  

I also covered Fatal Strategies in a series of 8 videos on Patreon:   / plasticpills
