Simulacra and Simulation
by Jean Baudrillard
Translated by Sheila Glaser

The first full-length translation in English of an essential work of postmodernist thought.

What Professors Are Saying
"I'm teaching a course which provides an interdisciplinary and theoretical approach to the idea of the body, our experience of it, and its status in the 'post-modern world.' Baudrillard's concept of simulation calls into question the traditional Cartesian split between the mind and the body. As such, Baudrillard raises the issue of the metaphysical status often accorded to the human body (and to the idea of the human, in general). Thus, Baudrillard's book fits nicely into both Cultural Studies and the English Departments' approach to the question of the body, by encouraging students to think critically and analytically about preconceived notions of bodily experience and how these influence our 'human' experience of the world."
