«El otro por sí mismo» is the philosophical essay by Jean Baudrillard, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardback (90 pages, in Spanish).
Jean Baudrillard's essay analyses a society dominated by the ecstasy of communication: the subject is a terminal of networks and a screen that absorbs information, and absolute proximity makes the existence of private worlds illusory. Alienation gives way to the overly visible; appearances and simulacra keep the secret of things.
Number 90 of the Argumentos collection, first edition, translated by Joaquín Jordá. Published in Barcelona.
For readers of contemporary philosophy and critical essays on communication and the mediatised society.
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.
