The Utopie group was born in 1966 at Henri Lefebvre's house in the                  Pyrenees. The eponymous journal edited by Hubert Tonka brought together sociologists                  Jean Baudrillard, René Lourau, and Catherine Cot, architects Jean Aubert, Jean-Paul                  Jungmann, Antoine Stinco, and landscape architect Isabelle Auricoste. Over the next                  decade, both in theory and in practice, the group articulated a radical                  ultra-leftist critique of architecture, urbanism, and everyday life. Utopia Deferred                  collects all of the essays Jean Baudrillard published in Utopie as well as recent                  interviews with Jean Baudrillard and Hubert Tonka.Utopie served as a workshop for                  Baudrillard's thought. Many of the essays he first published in Utopie were seminal                  for some of his most shockingly original books: For a Critique of the Political                  Economy of the Sign, The Mirror of Production, Simulations, Symbolic Exchange and                  Death, and In the Shadow of the Silent Majorities. But Utopie was also a topical                  journal and a political one; the topics of these essays are often torn from the                  headlines of the tumultuous decade following the uprisings of May 1968.
