Product Description
Review
"A symbiosis between a few architects and young intellectuals effectively occurred at the end of the 1960s. Their intention was to surpass architecture, just as urbanism had been surpassed and as the Situationists liquidated the university. Everyone within Utopie was trying to go as far as possible toward disappearance, just to see what would happen out there. We were looking for a point of intellectual gravity from which it would have been possible to radiate out to all disciplines." - Jean Baudrillard, Utopia Deferred"
Product Description
This work features seminal essays written by Baudrillard for a journal devoted to a radical leftist critique of architecture, urbanism, and everyday life. The Utopie group was born in 1966 at Henri Lefebvre's house in the Pyrenees. The eponymous journal edited by Hubert Tonka brought together sociologists Jean Baudrillard, Rene Lourau, and Catherine Cot, architects Jean Aubert, Jean-Paul Jungmann, Antoine Stinco, and landscape architect Isabelle Auricoste. Over the next decade, both in theory and in practice, the group articulated a radical ultra-leftist critique of architecture, urbanism, and everyday life. "Utopia Deferred" collects all of the essays Jean Baudrillard published in "Utopie" as well as recent interviews with Jean Baudrillard and Hubert Tonka. "Utopie" served as a workshop for Baudrillard's thought. Many of the essays he first published in "Utopie" were seminal for some of his most shockingly original books: "For a Critique of the Political Economy of the Sign", "The Mirror of Production", "Simulations", "Symbolic Exchange and Death", and "In the Shadow of the Silent Majorities". But "Utopie" was also a topical journal and a political one; the topics of these essays are often torn from the headlines of the tumultuous decade following May 1968.
