ARTICOLI / 6 / Vincenzo Cuomo /
Until in the last writings, Baudrillard oscillates between two different theoretical strategies: that of the symbolic violence, on one side, and that of the radical illusion, on the other side. This paper, starting from the socio-economic analysis and sociological notion of rest and negative in the thought of Baudrillard, seeks to clarify the differences between his two theoretical strategies. In both cases, he is confronted with the function of art in our contemporary world.
