The Fate of Hyperreality: Jean Baudrillard and the Sociology of Sport

Abstract

Jean Baudrillard has been probably the most provocative and controversial social theorist of the last twenty years. His theories of the masses, fatal strategies, symbolic exchange and hyperreality have courted widespread critical comment across the social sciences. More general public controversy has surrounded his sensationalist claims that the Gulf War ‘did not happen’ and that women should be offered up as sacrifices in the American desert (1991, 1986, p. 132). These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
