«De la seducción» is the philosophical essay by Jean Baudrillard, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (176 pages, in Spanish).
Against the great systems of production and interpretation, Baudrillard defends seduction as a strategy of appearances, tied to the sign and ritual rather than to nature. Far from being a mere superficial artifice, it is a force that perverts the divine order and all orthodoxies, and proves more powerful than power itself due to its irreversible character.
It belongs to the Teorema collection. Major series; it is the 10th edition, published on 10 May 2005.
Intended for the general public interested in contemporary philosophy and in discussions about desire, power, and culture.
Jean Baudrillard was a French sociologist and philosopher with an interest in cultural studies. He is best known for his analyses of media, contemporary culture, and technological communication, as well as his formulation of concepts such as hyperreality. Baudrillard wrote about diverse subjects, including consumerism, critique of economy, social history, aesthetics, Western foreign policy, and popular culture. Among his best-known works are Forget Foucault (1977), Seduction (1978), Simulacra and Simulation (1981), America (1986), and The Gulf War Did Not Take Place (1991). His work is frequently associated with postmodernism and specifically post-structuralism. Nevertheless, Baudrillard had also opposed post-structuralism, and had distanced himself from postmodernism.
