I know I am missing one edition of Le système des objets in my collection – something to search for in Paris in June!

Delighted to be speaking and participating in a round-table on ‘disappearance’ with Diane Rubenstein and Mike Gane at the ‘Baudrillard Street One’ event in Paris in June.

I was in London on Friday for the rehearsal of my TED talk. Afterwards I went to the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) and Foyles bookshops where I was pleased to find the new book – Jean Baudrillard: The Disappearance of Culture, Uncollected Interviews – on sale. The last book – Jean Baudrillard: From Hyperreality to Disappearance, Uncollected Interviews – was available nationwide in the UK through Waterstones and so hopefully the new book will also be as widely available ‘off-line’.

Issue 14-1 of the International Journal of Baudrillard Studies is now posted and available to all on the World Wide Web:

I will be writing a report about the ‘Baudrillard Street One’ event (taking place in Paris in June) for the International Journal of Baudrillard Studies.

My new collection of interviews with Baudrillard arrived today from Edinburgh University Press. Together the two collections contain 48 interviews.

JUST PUBLISHED:

Dating from 1968 to 2006, from his first to his final interview, this selection covers all the phases of Baudrillard’s long career. Clear, coherent and often humorous – the lightning fast responses of a genial philosopher – these interviews catch Baudrillard thinking aloud.
