Emma StamHOST
So the Transparency Society was an important book for me because it gathered together so many impressions and ideas that I was vaguely familiar with that hadn't at that point read the original literature that he was drawing from.
Emma StamHOST
And then later on, as a PhD student, I read Baudrillard's Ecstasy of Communication, which is those two books make different arguments, but Ecstasy of Communication.
Emma StamHOST
deals with a lot of the same stuff that Han is dealing with in Transparency Society.
Emma StamHOST
The idea that an informational world is a pornographic, obscene world.
Emma StamHOST
But this idea that rendering everything in a fully representational format is profane.
Emma StamHOST
And that the society of technological media is a society of total illumination that vanquishes any sense of differentiation, any sense of mystery, any sense of interiority.
Emma StamHOST
It doesn't allow for anything that could be considered a dialectical unfolding of All of these ideas coming together in a more sophisticated theoretical version that we get in Baudrillard, not to sideline Han, but it's just how it is.
Emma StamHOST
I love Han, but Baudrillard deals with a lot of the same things earlier and at a more sophisticated level, at least in this domain of topics.
Idiot MysticHOST
in how comedy was destroyed by an anti-reality doomsday cult, which fans lovingly called the Comedy Jonestown video.
Idiot MysticHOST
The Elephant Graveyard brings in French philosopher Jean Baudrillard to explain what happened to the Austin scene.
Idiot MysticHOST
They built a hyperreal simulacrum.
Idiot MysticHOST
Let's translate Baudrillard's hyperreal simulacrum into plain English because it's one of the most useful occult concepts of the 21st century.
Idiot MysticHOST
In ordinary life, a map represents a physical territory.
Idiot MysticHOST
In a simulacrum, the map replaces the territory entirely.
Mahyar Mohaghegh DolatabadiGUEST
So there is, of course, this potential for right-wing capture, but it's also how we conceptualize the entire operation.
Mahyar Mohaghegh DolatabadiGUEST
So, for example, I'm sure you know, your readers know, Or your viewers might know this guy named Baudrillard.
Mahyar Mohaghegh DolatabadiGUEST
He came up with this idea of hyper politics or basically the notion that I always like this example given by Rick Roderick.
Mahyar Mohaghegh DolatabadiGUEST
He was actually a lecturer at Duke University.
Brad WeedHOST
As Japan-based political scientist Christopher Hobson recently concluded, acceleration accelerates, disorientation deepens.
Brad WeedHOST
This on the heels of a Jean Baudrillard quote from 1995 that further complicates the articulation of the current moment because the interpretation of things is always beyond the event.
Brad WeedHOST
Where the cloud touches the ground.
Brad WeedHOST
Technology disorientation and a political and economic geography of AI.
Patrick BoyleHOST
You have to make a really big bet and win, or at least that's the idea.
Patrick BoyleHOST
Dimitri ties social media and the larger phenomenon of living our lives online to the concept of hyperreality proposed by the French postmodernist philosopher Jean Baudrillard, as a state where we can no longer distinguish between reality and mere representations of reality in the world we live in.
Patrick BoyleHOST
This idea deeply influenced the Wachowski brothers in their development of the Matrix movies, The idea that we're increasingly living in a simulation and in such a world reality, if there is such a thing, takes on a more tenuous hold.
Patrick BoyleHOST
The term selfie was first coined in 2002 and at the time it would have been seen as shameful to be seen taking photos of yourself in a way that's totally normal today.
Neema ParviniGUEST
Like the pseudo-reality.
Neema ParviniGUEST
There was a French thinker many years later called Beau Baudrillard who talked about hyper-reality, that we live in a constant state of kind of... thinking we care about stuff that we know but then the only thing the only reason that we know that is because we've seen it one of the things i always go back to is in the 90s uh when i was a teenager princess diana died yes okay i don't know if you it's the
Julian DoreyHOST
first thing i can remember fully in my life oh right well well
Neema ParviniGUEST
there we go
Graeme GillochGUEST
The Odysseus myth, for instance, is almost the foundational story for the idea of nostalgia in that way.
Graeme GillochGUEST
And I continue to work on some of the key theorists I'm really fascinated by and been fascinated for many years, like Walter Benjamin, Siegfried Krakauer, Jean Baudrillard, and others.
Graeme GillochGUEST
So, yeah, I will carry on writing about them and reflecting and trying to think about how their ideas enable us, through reworking their ideas, how these ideas enable us to explore film, photography, and urban culture today.
Vincent M. GaineHOST
Well, on that, thank you, Graham, and goodbye.
Sid MengeleckHOST
Really wonderful book.
Sid MengeleckHOST
Really nicely aligns with anyone that's been reading stuff like Jean Baudrillard.
Sid MengeleckHOST
A lot of people that are interested in like, I won't say simulation theory, but if you love the matrix, you should give this book a read.
Sid MengeleckHOST
I think you'll find there's a lot in common.
MikeyHOST
has been challenging in some way, some presupposition of mine from day one.
MikeyHOST
I don't care if it was Kierkegaard or Simone de Beauvoir or Judith Butler or Deleuze or Heidegger or land or Baudrillard or Zizek go down the list.
MikeyHOST
It's all been a threat to my pre-established conceptual default setting.
NanceHOST
All right.
Alexander RoseHOST
in this sort of late-stage capitalist system.
Alexander RoseHOST
Philosophers, Jean Baudrillard comes to mind with simulacra, simulation.
Alexander RoseHOST
Pierre Bourdieu, the idea of an aesthetic sensibility structuring society, structuring social class.
Alexander RoseHOST
It's not particularly contentious, I guess that's what I mean to say.
