L'Échange symbolique et la mort
Book •
L'Échange Symbolique et la Mort (Symbolic Exchange and Death) explores the nature of social relations and the role of symbols in contemporary society.
Baudrillard critiques traditional Marxist theories of production and argues that symbolic exchange, rather than economic exchange, is the foundation of social order.
He examines how death has become increasingly mediated and commodified, losing its symbolic significance.
The book explores the concepts of simulation, hyperreality, and the collapse of meaning, suggesting that modern society is characterized by a loss of authenticity and a proliferation of empty signs.
Baudrillard's work challenges conventional notions of power, ideology, and the relationship between the individual and society.
