You're right Katlaughing,it ought to be 1929.
If Baudrillard was right,his surviving works ought now to attain the status which he labelled "Third Order of Simulacra".
I shall resist the temptation to make any jokes on the lines of "What does Baudrillard's passing signify"
He had some perceptive insights & ,within his field,was impossible to ignore.
Very difficult to like but he was never into popularity contests.
