Philippe Tanguy appears in the course readings as the translator of Jean Baudrillard's "The Evil Demon of Images" and as a facilitator of a 1984 interview with Baudrillard in Sydney, rendering questions and responses between French and English. While Tanguy himself is not a theorist being studied, his mediation work is crucial to how Baudrillard's critique of images—particularly his argument about the immorality and autonomy of the image in contemporary culture—reaches English-language audiences in this seminar. His presence marks the translation labor necessary for transatlantic theory circulation, a process itself implicated in the reproduction and circulation of images that Baudrillard critiques.
