Description

Baudrillard and Aging seeks to delve into the intricate relationship between age and society, drawing on the influential theories of French philosopher Jean Baudrillard. This book will explore how aging and the aging process are shaped by the hyperreal world we inhabit, emphasizing the paradoxical amplification of youth and the loss of authenticity in contemporary society. By analyzing Baudrillard's theories in the context of aging, this book aims to provide a fresh perspective on the challenges and paradoxes faced by individuals as they grow older.
In our modern society, aging is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that is often met with anxiety and resistance. Jean Baudrillard's original theories on simulation, hyperreality, and the collapse of meaning offer unique insights into how the aging process has been transformed and mediated within a culture that relentlessly fetishizes youthfulness.
This book will examine how the hyperreal simulacra of aging are constructed, perpetuated, and imposed upon individuals as they age. It will also explore the consequences of this simulated lifecourse, including the erasure of authentic experiences of aging and the subsequent alienation and dissatisfaction experienced by older individuals.
