Beskrivning
This book is unique in its dedicated tackling of the subject of death in the work of Jean Baudrillard. Through new readings of his work, the book makes so patently clear the importance of Baudrillard’s tendency to poeticize, his core indebtedness to Georges Bataille, Alfred Jarry, and others, and his reliance on paradox. Ultimately, Stratagem of the Corpse is less a making sense of death and more a transcript of what occurred when death made sense of us, a reverse thanatology in which death delineates the variant forms of our encroachment, not so much death as seen by Baudrillard but Baudrillard as seen by death.

'Shipley’s work is one of the rare exceptions. Some of Baudrillard’s best-known, but least understood, ideas are here unleashed, freed of the disciplinary apparatus of academic convention – and rightly so.’ —William Pawlett, Senior Lecturer in Media, University of Wolverhampton, UK
