Forgive Foucault, forget Baudrillard: On the other side of power - Toward the ecstasy of seduction
- Abstract:
- This paper attempts to elucidate what Jean Baudrillard exactly means by encouraging an act of “forgetting” concerning Michel Foucault in 1977’s Forget Foucault, suggesting that in order to reveal the mechanisms beyond Foucault’s “power,” one must push that concept towards its ecstasy in order to enter into the new meta realm of “seduction.” With that in mind, the paper suggests that an additional act of forgetting is required as well, that in order to transcend “seduction,” Baudrillard’s own concept must be fatally hypostasized as well, and thus, forgotten.
