Abstract
The theoretical center of Baudrillard's thought is a sort of map that lets understand postmodern. Our work investigates this concept in relation to post-human thought. Is Baudrillard a prophet of posthuman thought? The sense of this statement hides in the concepts of orgy and seduction. These matters are central to understand Baudrillard's relationship with the post-human: The concept of orgy can be used as a model of categorical post-humanism. With orgy the modern categories come to fruition, especially the human category. With seduction, instead, we think of a post-humanity linked to a biological and anatomical overcoming. Seduction, with its sexual reversibility, implies the overcoming of bios concept. Finally, through the study of paradigmatic film Paprika, our work tries to understand the consequences of these two concepts on the contemporary mediascape.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
