Baudrillard, Jean (1929–2007)

French cultural theorist. Originally influenced by Marxism and structuralism in works such as The System of Objects (1968), Baudrillard evolved a critique of consumer society and of an information world dominated by the reproduction of images, producing a state which he called ‘hyper-reality’. His theories are expressed in a wide range of writings, including In the Shadow of the Silent Majorities (1978) and Simulacra and Simulations (1981).
