«El espejo de la producción» is the philosophical essay by Jean Baudrillard, published by GEDISA in paperback (184 pages, in Spanish).
It criticizes the idealization of work and production in modern societies: the critique of the capitalist mode of production leaves production intact as an idealized form. Against the utopia of redemption through work, it proposes a utopia of energies opposed to political economy and to the indefinite reproduction of the system.
The work belongs to GEDISA's CLA-DE-MA series; the full subtitle is «o la ilusión crítica del materialismo histórico».
For readers of philosophy and sociology interested in social criticism and in Baudrillard's thought.
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.
