Spirit of Terrorism EPUB
by Jean Baudrillard
EPUB
- Information
Description
Baudrillard sees the power of the terrorists as lying in the symbolism of slaughter—not merely the reality of death, but in a sacrifice that challenges the whole system.
Where previously the old revolutionary sought to conduct a struggle between real forces in the context of ideology and politics, the new terrorist mounts a powerful symbolic challenge which, when combined with high-tech resources, constitutes an unprecedented assault on an over-sophisticated and vulnerable West.
This new edition is up-dated with the essays “Hypotheses on Terrorism” and “Violence of the Global.”
