This is the best lecture on the hyperreal and simulation I've seen. Thankfully for us, you truly understand the material are able to convey it in a clear and meaningful way. Very well done. I usually wait for a lecture where I feel I have to take notes, and this was it.
Trying to get back in the mood to prepare for a master in social anthropology, this is one fine representation of representations (pun intended). Thanks!
what a lucent way of expressing things. big fan ma'am such a good narration and the modest way of explaining complex things literally touched by this video
You are clueless about Baudrillard, and this video is an excellent example of simulacra ... in that you are imitating to know, without knowing and especially without feeling. The meaning of the Gulf war did not take place is that it was not a war, but an invasion posturing as a war ... so the realities of war e.g. a dispute of two warring sides was absent.
