25. Critique Of Jean Baudrillard From the view of Don Cupitt, baudrillard is not poststructural. He accuses baudrillard of being too pessimistic. http://www.change.freeuk.com/learning/socthink/baudcrit.html

Baudrillard not poststructural! Don Cupitt, in his theological work which arguably most uses the world of signs (1992), says in his endnotes that: Baudrillard's books are very unsound indeed, but he does open up the territory. (Cupitt, 1992, 187) Why should the postmodern poststructural Cupitt come to such a conclusion? Cupitt accepts that the system makes people desire and they genuinely get what they desire (Cupitt, 1992, 79). There is no standard outside by which they can assess what they really want or need. There is no natural alternative. Even criticism of this situation must be given from within it. And Cupitt adds: Jean Baudrillard, whose very pessimistic criticisms of late capitalism have been so influential during the past decade or two, seems not to notice this reflective difficulty within his own argument (Cupitt, 1992, 80). What is Cupitt getting at? Is it that Cupitt is optimistic about the freedom within this flux of signs, particularly for a religious reconstruction, whereas Baudrillard is pessimistic? Applying this to religion and society (rather too easily together), Cupitt states: Maybe the loss of many of the old rituals, manners and conventions brings its own problems, but that is a separate argument. The present claim is merely that despite what is said by pessimists such as Foucault and Baudrillard, there are many obvious respects in which social controls are a bit less strict than they were and we have a little more freedom to make up our own lives. (Cupitt, 1992, 80-81).

SPECIAL TOPICS A ROUGH CHRONOLOGY OF JEAN BAUDRILLARD'S THOUGHTS ON THE WORLD (under construction) BACK TO SPECIAL TOPICS PAGE HOME INDEX CORE ... BEYOND ~~k.i.s.s.~~ When you think of Baudrillard, think "simulation" . A French intellectual, postmodern critic and most extreme (some would say whacked-out) proponent of postmodernity, Baudrillard looks at how our postmodern world is no longer real, but only a simulation of the real. He articulates his belief about simulations through his ideas on hyperreality, simulacra, and the mass media in our postmodern society (see below). I. Baudrillard (and other commentators who concentrate on the media as the main culprits behind postmodernism) would say that the media have become increasingly intense, both in terms of availability (TVs, VCRs, Walkmen, World Wide Web, etc.) and in terms of how culture comes to us. a) Baudrillard says that signs that used to represent things are drained of their meaning ( hyperreality ); the relation between

Bores and Boredom B oredom is like a pitiless zooming in on the epidermis of time. Every instant is dilated and magnified like the pores of the face. Depression D epression moods lead, almost invariably, to accidents. But, when they occur, our mood changes again, since the accident shows we can draw the world in our wake, and that we still retain some degree of power even when our spirits are low. A series of accidents creates a positively light-hearted state, out of consideration for this strange power. Fear T error is as much a part of the concept of truth as runniness is of the concept of jam. We wouldn't like jam if it didn't, by its very nature, ooze. We wouldn't like truth if it wasn't sticky, if, from time to time, it didn't ooze blood. Heroes and Heroism W hat is a society without a heroic dimension? Humankind I f we consider the superiority of the human species, the size of its brain, its powers of thinking, language and organization, we can say this: were there the slightest possibility that another rival or superior species might appear, on earth or elsewhere, man would use every means at his disposal to destroy it.

28. Jean Baudrillard- Two Essays ("Simulacra And Science Fiction" And "Ballard's Cra Two of Baudrillards essays are translated to English. These are Simulacra and Science Fiction and Ballard's Crash. http://www.depauw.edu/sfs/backissues/55/baudrillard55art.htm

Science Fiction Studies #55 = Volume 18, Part 3 = November 1991 Jean Baudrillard Two Essays Translated by Arthur B. Evans 1. Simulacra and Science Fiction There are three orders of simulacra: (1) natural, naturalistic simulacra: based on image, imitation, and counterfeiting. They are harmonious, optimistic, and aim at the reconstitution, or the ideal institution, of a nature in God's image. (2) productive, productionist simulacra: based on energy and force, materialized by the machine and the entire system of production. Their aim is Promethean: world-wide application, continuous expansion, liberation of indeterminate energy (desire is part of the utopias belonging to this order of simulacra). (3) simulation simulacra: based on information, the model, cybernetic play. Their aim is maximum operationality, hyperreality, total control. To the first order corresponds the imaginary of the utopia. To the second, SF in the strict sense. To the third...is there yet an imaginary domain which corresponds to this order? The probable answer is that the ``good old'' SF imagination is dead, and that something else is beginning to emerge (and not only in fiction, but also in theory). Both traditional SF and theory are destined to the same fate: flux and imprecision are putting an end to them as specific genres. There is no real and no imaginary except at a certain distance. What happens when this distance, even the one separating the real from the imaginary, begins to disappear and to be absorbed by the model alone? Currently, from one order of simulacra to the next, we are witnessing the reduction and absorption of this distance, of this separation which permits a space for ideal or critical projection.

Baudrillard in Cyberspace: Internet, Virtuality, and Postmodernity Mark Nunes DeKalb College Originally published in Style From advertisements to White House policy statements, the past two years have prepared America for a changed worldor more precisely, a new world: one that exists on the shimmering surface of our computer screens. In the first six months of 1994 alone, the number of computers connected to the worldwide network of Internet jumped by one million to a total of "host" machines ( InterNIC ). In response to this rapid growth, the media has refurbished that old American icon of both progress and freedom: the highway . Soon, every American will be back on the open road. New roadside businesses will emerge as the map of Internet continues to encompass the globe . But in its current figuration, the 'net does more than network the globe ; it creates a metaphorical world in which we conduct our lives. And the more ecstatic the promises of new, possible worlds, the more problematic the concept of "the world" becomes. Internet, both as a technological artifact and as a popular image, provides a site for exploring "the world," and the position of such systems of totality in postmodernity. Perhaps more so than any other contemporary theorist, Baudrillard provides a provocative heading for "navigating" this hyperreal terrain. Although he has not addressed worldwide networking and Internet in the specific in his writing, his comments on telematics, along with his more general critiques of modernity, provide an interesting means for exploring the metaphoricity of Internet. Of particular interest in this Baudrillardian reading are the geographical metaphors for Internetthe topological framework beneath the "Information Superhighway" that allows for travel, distance, and speed in a metaphorical world. "Cyberspace" no longer strictly refers to the fictional "matrix" in

Klar, da war die Reaktion frostig. Sie wollten sich um den Wiederaufbau kümmern, ich sprach von Destruktion. Mich interessieren weniger die Konsequenzen und Auswirkungen als das Entwertende, ein wenig Okkulte, die Macht des Ereignisses, seine Ursprünglichkeit.

Archiv Recherchedienst Impressum Abo ... Kontakt taz-Archiv Der taz-Recherchedienst bearbeitet Ihre Anfragen (kostenpflichtig): Recherchedienst Analyse ohne Grenzen Der 11. September nur Simulation? In seiner Reihe "Lesarten des Terrors" lädt das Literaturhaus Jean Baudrillard ins Audimax Von Stefanie Richter Ja und nein: Jean Baudrillards "Simulationstheorie" besagt, dass in der Mediengesellschaft, in der wir leben, das wirkliche Ereignis und seine mediale Vermittlung ununterscheidbar geworden sind, Ereignisse mithin ohne Vermittlung gar nicht existent. Den Anschlag auf das World Trade Center deutet Baudrillard als "globales symbolisches Ereignis", weil die Twin Towers die "definitive Ordnung" der Globalisierung verkörperten. Mit seinem Aufsatz "Der Geist des Terrorismus" hat Baudrillard im letzten Herbst eine heftige Feuilleton-Debatte losgetreten. Plötzlich hieß es überall, die Ereignisse vom 11. September würden einen endgültigen "Einbruch der Wirklichkeit" markieren. Folglich wurden postmoderne Theorien wie Baudrillards Analyse der Simulation nicht mehr nur belächelt, sondern als zynisch verurteilt. Auch Diedrich Diederichsen wusste schon im Oktober in der taz : Postmoderne hin oder her, das World Trade Center, das habe es auf jeden Fall gegeben. Schließlich seien bei seiner Zerstörung echte Menschen umgekommen. Und das beweise, dass die Doppeltürme mehr als nur ein Symbol gewesen seien. Deshalb, so Diederichsen, dürfte der "beliebte Baudrillardismus" ja wohl endgültig widerlegt sein.

Vivisecting the 90s Interview with JEAN BAUDRILLARD CTHEORY is an international journal of theory, technology, and culture, publishing articles, interviews, event-scenes and reviews of key books. * * * * * * * * CTHEORY: Your relation to McLuhan is interesting, the more so since few critics have analysed it, although they have often commented on it. What is the role of the strong presence of the visual, so real in your texts, in relation to the notion of distance, or of obscenity, and in relation to irony as distance? It is clear that the visual would be necessary to separate and distance an imaginary on which sense is founded. But how does one treat the question of the differentiation of image and sound, the latter being a much more supple, fluid, floating medium than the latter? JEAN BAUDRILLARD: I have some difficulty replying to this question because sound, the sphere of sound, the acoustic sphere, audio, is really more alien to me than the visual. It is true there is a feeling [word spoken in English] about the visual, or rather for the image and the concept itself, whereas sound is less familiar to me. I have less perception, less analytic perception, of this aspect. That is not to say that I would not make a distinction between noise and sound, but ultimately, in terms of this ambient world's hyperreality, this noosphere, I see it much more as a visualization of the world rather than its hypersonorization. What can I say about the difference between the two? I have the impression that cutting across the world of McLuhan - he too is very much oriented to the visual, of course, in spite of the fact that he was, I believe, a musician - there is a small problem, which is that the different sensorial, perceptual registers tend, in this media noosphere, to conflate, to fuse together into a kind of depolarization of sensory domains. We speak quite rightly today of the audio-visual; we couple them together in some sort, some kind of amalgam or "patchwork". Perhaps I am led to view space in this way by my lesser sensitivity to the acoustic, but it seems to me that everything is summed up in a logistic which integrates all the perceptual domains in a way even more undifferentiated than before. Everything is now received in a manner that is indistinct, virtually indistinct, in fact.

BAUDRILLARD, JEAN. SIMULACRA AND SIMULATION Baudrillard, Jean. SIMULACRA AND SIMULATION . Tr. Sheila Faria Glaser. Ann Arbor: University of Michigan. 1994. Originally published in French by Editions Galilee, 1981. 164 pages. Essays include The Precession of Simulacra; History: A Retro Scenario; Holocaust (review); The China Syndrome (review); Apocalypse Now (review); The Beaubourg Effect: Implosion and Deterrence; Hypermarket and Hypercommodity; The Implosion of Meaning in the Media; Absolute Advertising, Ground-Zero Advertising; Clone Story; Holograms; Crash (review); Simulacra and Science Fiction; The AnimalsTerritory and Metamorphoses; The Remainder; The Spiraling Cadaver; Value's Last Tango; On Nihilism. Baudrillard's idea of simulacra exemplifies the separation of an ideal existence and the existence apprehensible to the senses. This separation is fundamental to an understanding of the postmodern temper. The modernist temper preserved the semblance of an architectonic reality "behind" the reality that we deal with in the daily dimension. The modernist thought of the quotidian manifestat ion as a "copy" or reflection of the "really" real: this goes back to Plato. Baudrillard says that the "copy" has no original. The copy is all we have to go on. A CLOSE READING OF "THE PRECESSION OF SIMULACRA" Pages 1-7.

40. Baudrillard And Simulation A page on jean baudrillard's book Simulacra and Simulations. http://www.uta.edu/english/hawk/semiotics/baud.htm

S I M U L A T I O N In Simulacra and Simulation , French social theorist Jean Baudrillard argues that our "postmodern" culture is a world of signs that have made a fundamental break from referring to "reality." This process is analogous to Herbert Marcuse's notion of one-dimensionality. The multi-perspectival negating potential of art becomes collapsed into one-dimensional thinking promoted by dominant ideology. The potential for resistance is itself negated through a world of hyperreality, leaving the one-dimensional models to replace polyvalent "reality." Popular music provides a good example. The categories and forms of music are forced onto the musicians by music corporation's categorical conventions. They do change their categories to follow the times but the ultimate end is still restriction/conventionality. What begins as projecting a liberating function at the level of individual expression, gets turned into a repressive category. Byron Hawk intro
