Quote by Jean Baudrillard
Neither dead nor alive, the hostage is suspended by an incalculabl

Neither dead nor alive, the hostage is suspended by an incalculable outcome. It is not his destiny that awaits for him, nor his own death, but anonymous chance, which can only seem to him something absolutely arbitrary. He is in a state of radical emergency, of virtual extermination. – Jean Baudrillard

Other quotes by Jean Baudrillard
