Simulacra and Simulation: Baudrillard, Techno-Fascism, and the Tyranny of Advertising
Description
Cameron Carsten is back with us to enjoy an exploration of Jean Baudrillard’s concept of “absolute advertising” and its transformation of communication, desire, and the public sphere. This discussion addresses the rise of techno-fascism and the symbolic saturation of everyday life in view of Baudrillard's 'Simulacra and Simulation'. What happens when advertising becomes the default mode of mediation, indistinguishable from culture itself? Together, we unravel how content collapses into form—and how even resistance may be a commodity.
