Silverman and Anne O'Byrne have brought together insightful and engaging essays on two figures now often neglected: Lacoue Labarthe and Baudrillard. The excellent set of writers in this volume make important claims against this neglect while engaging important topics in recent Continental philosophy. A highly recommended read. -- Peter Gratton, Memorial University of Newfoundland In this remarkable, interdisciplinary collection, a group of prominent scholars rethink the converging and diverging legacies of Baudrillard and Lacoue-Labarthe in the aftermath of their deaths in 2007. By pushing the boundaries of philosophy, psychoanalysis, aesthetics, politics and media theory, the essays probe the recalcitrance of the real and the remainders of subjectivity in the age of the ever-growing intensity and the new forms of the seduction of simulacra. With elegant and comprehensive introductions written by the editors, Anne O'Byrne and Hugh J. Silverman, Subjects and Simulations is an indispensable reading for anyone interested in the rapidly changing status of 'reality,' 'fiction,' and subjectivity, as well as in the political and ethical challenges brought about by these changes. -- Ewa Plonowska Ziarek, SUNY Buffalo In this important new book, the late Hugh J.
