Stratagem of the Corpse

'Shipley’s work is one of the rare exceptions. Some of Baudrillard’s best-known, but least understood, ideas are here unleashed, freed of the disciplinary apparatus of academic convention – and rightly so.’ —William Pawlett, Senior Lecturer in Media, University of Wolverhampton, UK

‘Gary J. Shipley explores the intensities of his meticulously constructed, artificial insanity with a philosophical and literary elegance that is truly exceptional. This is a book that evidently triumphs in its primary directive, of making Baudrillard, once again, necessary.’ —Nick Land, Author of The Thirst for Annihilation: Georges Bataille and Virulent Nihilism

‘This is not a book “about” Baudrillard. It is a book infected with the necrotic spirit of Baudrillard’s post-orgiastic thought, as well as the transgressive spirits of those who infected him in turn (Bataille especially).’ —Dominic Pettman, Professor of Culture and Media, New School, USA, and Author of After the Orgy: Toward a Politics of Exhaustion

‘There is extraordinary power behind those books which ask the wrong questions, perfecting the art of imperfection by taking thought toward death itself. Gary J. Shipley’s reflections on Baudrillard and beyond are of this same rare quality of elegant disturbance: they wrest the fatal imagination elsewhere and otherwise, between death and the dying; among enigmatic corpses and unnameable catastrophes; through varied meditations on decay, apocalypse, chance, obscenity, mutilation, vertigo and terror.’ —Jason Mohaghegh, Associate Professor of Comparative Literature, Babson College, USA, and Author of The Chaotic Imagination; Omnicide: Mania, Fatality, and the Future-In-Delirium; and Night: A Philosophy of the After-Dark

‘Shipley’s book about dying with Baudrillard, of death becoming Baudrillardian, is testament to the growing realization that Baudrillard’s philosophy is only becoming more relevant – perhaps one day this century will be known as Baudrillardian.’ —Richard G. Smith, Author of The Baudrillard Dictionary
