Introducing Baudrillard by Chris Horrocks ( Book )
13 editions published between 1996 and 2011 in English and Spanish and held by 206 libraries worldwide
"Did the Gulf War take place? Is it possible to fake a bank robbery? Was sexual liberation a disaster? Strange questions? Nonsensical even? Yet these are questions to which there are unexpected answers. Jean Baudrillard has been hailed as one of France's most subtle yet powerful theorists. But his provocative style and assaults on sociology, feminism and Marxism have resulted in accusations of his promoting a dangerous new orthodoxy - of being the "pimp" of postmodernism." "This introduction presents Baudrillard's radical claims, including his work on obesity, pornography and terrorism, and a chronology of his evolution from critic of mass consumption to prophet of the apocalypse. Chris Horrocks' text and Zoran Jevtic's illustrations combine to help the reader decide whether Baudrillard is a cure for the vertigo of contemporary culture or one of its symptoms."--BOOK JACKET.

Foucault for beginners by Chris Horrocks ( Book )
3 editions published between 1997 and 1999 in English and held by 110 libraries worldwide
"Michel Foucault's work was described at his death as "the most important event of thought in our century". As a philosopher, historian, and political activist he most certainly left behind an enduring and influential body of work, but is this acclaim justified? Introducing Foucault places Foucault's work in its turbulent philosophical and political context, and critically explores his mission to expose the links between knowledge and power in the human sciences, their discourses and institutions." "Chris Horrocks, whose most recent publication is Introducing Baudrillard, explains how Foucault overturned our assumptions about the experience and perception of madness, sexuality and criminality, and the often brutal social practices of confinement, confession and discipline. He describes Foucault's engagement with psychiatry and clinical medicine, his political activism and the transgressive aspects of pleasure and desire which he promoted in his writing. Zoran Jevtic's inspired illustrations give an added dimension to this fascinating introduction to a major 20th century thinker."--BOOK JACKET.
