Jean Baudrillard Obituary
Baudrillard died at his home in Paris after a lengthy illness, said Michel Delorme of the Galilee publishing house.
The two men had worked together since 1977, when "Oublier Foucault" (Forget Foucault), one of some 20 books written by Baudrillard, was published, Delorme said by telephone. Baudrillard's last book was "Cool Memories V," in 2005.
Baudrillard, a sociologist by training, advocated the idea that spectacle is crucial in creating our view of events _ what he termed "hyperreality." Things do not happen if they are not seen to happen.
Although many Americans were puzzled by his views, Baudrillard was a tireless enthusiast for the United States – though he once called it "the only remaining primitive society."
