Kathy Heldenbrand has requested I repost my earlier attempt to
generate discussion on Baudrillard.
I welcome the opportunity to explore a thread.

Subject: JEAN BAUDRILLARD: POST-MODERNIST ANTHRO?

I am new to the list and have greatly enjoyed the broad topics
explored. I wonder if I may begin a new thread directed at both
general opinion as well as those who teach "Symbolic" aspects of
Anthropology and consider "Post-Modernist" approaches to
ethnographic
theory?

What is the validity of the various views presented by Jean
Baudrillard in terms of his conclusions as to contemporary forms of
"culture," their ethnographic "presentation," and his "conclusions"
derived from his constructs of reality? Are his views based on
"opportunistic" exploitation of "fashionable" and "nihilist" trends
in contemporary "presentation" of "culture," or are his conclusions
a
more sophisticated version of the undercurrent of the neo-Fascist
"presentation" engendered by "Corporate" culture?

Does Baudrillard
provide a "system" to understand violence in media?
Is Baudrillard "valid" in considering a
choice in approaching an ethnographic centering?
Are there necessary "presumptions" in allowing Baudrillard a
"required" hearing in "Post-Modernist" approaches to ethnographic
theory?
