You need sociologists to meet in groups to translate it.

A lot of people do miss his point. The more you peer into Baudrillard, the more you realise his project was very similar to Derrida's. It's just that their fields of intervention were different.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06298147857234479278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-55484361938802769582007-12-14T11:35:00.000+00:002007-12-14T11:35:00.000+00:00I would also recomend: "The Gulf War Did Not Take ...I would also recomend: "The Gulf War Did Not Take Place", how war has become a simulacrum.<BR/>Comrade D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-86477291320418184152007-12-14T11:33:00.000+00:002007-12-14T11:33:00.000+00:00I would also recommend "the gulf war did not take ...I would also recommend "the gulf war did not take place" , how war has become a simulacrum.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-6652314038019469712007-12-13T17:55:00.000+00:002007-12-13T17:55:00.000+00:00Thanks for putting up an analysis.

I have heard about Baudrillard, but have yet to read any of his works. <BR/><BR/>Your quote of: <BR/>"We can no longer speak of the real in terms of authenticity, originals, or truth because our reality is completely simulated. To give an example, 'nature' in Britain is a simulacrum: it exists because it is completely artificial...There is no 'original' nature, that has long since been erased."<BR/><BR/>sounds really interesting...This is now on my list of works to read :)Nadia A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08703101945104328846noreply@blogger.com
