Kind of? The notes are for a grad level film studies course, a mix of Baudrillard/Deleuze then making people write their own work. But I have taught on just Baudrillard before. Baudrillard factors heavily into my research which is mainly focused on the cultural impacts of mass media. I've got White Noise on a to-read list, should I move to reading it next?

Hahaha yeah man, if you like his ideas check out The Gift by Marcel Mauss and The Accursed Share by Bataille. They managed to have an influence on Baudrillard in all his thoughts. And I just ordered the book, I'm looking forward to it. Imo that was the best part of the Existentialists, their ability to put their philosophy into their fiction/plays

He's missing the fun one which exposes women for the vile creatures that they are. No, it isn't becuase of capitalism, it's because women themselves suck. I like to think that Coupat or one of the others just went through a breakup when they wrote it. Cybernetic Hypothesis is also theoretically available now (in English) but it's been online anyway if you know where to look (the website is down much of the time, really shitty host).
