Baudrillard writes in Seduction: "Where a linear movement knocks against the wall of consciousness and acquires only meager gains, seduction has the obliquity of a dream element or stroke of wit.
He explores a number of recent novels, all of which take American consumer culture as the primary emblem of a late- capitalist power structure that demonstrates its seeming unopposability, and seeks to show how they often mirror or echo the theories of contemporary cultural theorists such as Fredric Jameson, Jean Baudrillard, Jean-Francois Lyotard, Gayatri Spivak, and others.
Segundo Trivinho (2007), embora Baudrillard seja conhecido nos centros universitarios metropolitanos, no Brasil, sua obra e desconhecida; alem do mais, nao se estuda seriamente esse pensador--a nao ser, talvez, na area de filosofia, pois, para estuda-lo seriamente, faz-se necessario ir ao encontro das suas ideias com o espirito aberto que ele exige, tomando a sistematicidade como necessaria.
