MEN OF LETTERS BAUDRILLARD ON TOUR Issue of 2005-11-28 Posted 2005-11-21 There may never again be a year in Jean Baudrillard?s life quite like 1999. Baudrillard, the French philosopher, is best known for his theory that consumer society forms a kind of code that gives individuals the illusion of choice while in fact entrapping them in a vast web of simulated reality. In 1999, the movie ?The Matrix,? which was based on this theory, transformed him from a cult figure into an extremely famous cult figure. - synthum , posted 11/22/05 |
