Simulacra and Simulation by Jean Baudrillard

Wow, I was a little afraid because the last person that tried to explain S&S did a horrible job. This was actually not that bad. Good job

Wow, great video - definitely gave me a better understanding of the theory. Now to finish my paper.

Well done!!

[MrGrevy]

Wow so this is the future of the humanity? Disgraceful.

[JoGaECU]

@MrGrevy The future?

[MrGrevy]

@JoGaECU Yes. What part of that do you not understand?

[JoGaECU]

@MrGrevy Isn't it the present?

[MrGrevy]

@JoGaECU Is English a second language for you? Do you not know what someone means when they say "this is the future of humanity"? Stop trying to sound smart...you're not impressing anyone. Bizarre.

[JoGaECU]

@MrGrevy Yes, English is a second language for me.

Remember that YouTube isn't only for those that speak English natively…

[MrGrevy]

@JoGaECU The hell it isn't. Get off my internet NOW.

haha. thank you! i am working on a paper and was trying to read through this thing and OUI it jumbles my brain. if nothing is reality anymore then why do i still have to write papers? MEH.

REALLY CORNY, and yet, thoroughly enjoyable and insightful. And it properly dumbs it down for those of us who have a rough time wrapping our heads around Baudrillard's work.

Great job!

You only explained the successive phases of the image, which, I agree, interplays with media and the real. However, simulacra and simulation also delves into what he calls the hyperreal, the deterrent machine, binary opposition, simulation and dissimulation etc.

@fat1 Stop showing off for God's sake. He did a really good job of what is an awful topic.
