The System of Objects is a tour de forceâa theoretical letter-in-a-bottle tossed into the ocean in 1968, which brilliantly communicates to us all the live ideas of the day.
Pressing Freudian and Saussurean categories into the service of a basically Marxist perspective, The System of Objects offers a cultural critique of the commodity in consumer society. Baudrillard classifies the everyday objects of the ânew technical orderâ as functional, nonfunctional and metafunctional. He contrasts âmodernâ and âtraditionalâ functional objects, subjecting home furnishing and interior design to a celebrated semiological analysis. His treatment of nonfunctional or âmarginalâ objects focuses on antiques and the psychology of collecting, while the metafunctional category extends to the useless, the aberrant and even the âschizofunctional.â Finally, Baudrillard deals at length with the implications of credit and advertising for the commodification of everyday life.
The System of Objects is a tour de force of the materialist semiotics of the early Baudrillard, who emerges in retrospect as something of a lightning rod for all the live ideas of the day: Batailleâs political economy of âexpenditureâ and Maussâs theory of the gift; Reismanâs lonely crowd and the âtechnological societyâ of Jacques Ellul; the structuralism of Roland Barthes in The System of Fashion; Henri Lefebvreâs work on the social construction of space; and last, but not least, Guy Debordâs situationist critique of the spectacle.
