תשעים לאיש שניתח, זיהה והכריז לפני שנים רבות על מותה של האמת, ומי שנותן לנו כיום כלי החלפת "סימן" ו"מסמן" לניתוח המציאות שלנו כיום אולי טוב מכל, השבוע עם הסימולקרות של ז'אן בודריאר  

 

Postmodernity is the simultaneity of the destruction of earlier values and their reconstruction. It is renovation within ruination

BAUDRILLARD

 

Western faith and good faith became engaged in this wager on representation: that a sign could refer to the depth of meaning, that a sign could be exchanged for meaning and that some thing could guarantee this exchange – God of course.

BAUDRILLARD

 

If once we were able to view the Borges fable in which the cartographers of the Empire draw up a map so detailed that it ends up covering the territory exactly (the decline of the empire witnessed the fraying if this map, little by little and its fall into ruins, though some shreds are still discernible in the deserts - the metaphysical beauty of this ruined abstraction…)

BAUDRILLARD

 

Simulation is no longer that of a territory, a referential being, or substance. It is the generation models of a real without origin or reality : a hyperreal

BAUDRILLARD

 

The territory no longer precedes the map… it is the map that precedes the territory - precession of simulacra

BAUDRILLARD

 

It is the real, and not the map, whose vestiges subsist here and there, in the deserts which are no longer those of the Empire, but our own. The desert of the real itself.

BAUDRILLARD

 

Sadder than destitution, sadder than a beggar is the man who eats alone in public. Nothing more contradicts the laws of man or beast, for animals always do each other the honor of sharing or disputing each other's food.

BAUDRILLARD

 

It is in love with its limitless horizontality, as New York may be with its verticality

BAUDRILLARD

 

Mistakes, scandals, and failures no longer signal catastrophe. The crucial thing is that they be made credible, and that the public be made aware of the efforts being expended in that direction. The "marketing" immunity of governments is similar to that of the major brands of washing powder.

BAUDRILLARD

 

The obese is in a total delirium. For he is not only large, of a size opposed to normal morphology: he is larger than large. He no longer makes sense in some distinctive opposition, but in his excess, his redundancy.

BAUDRILLARD

 

We are becoming like cats, slyly parasitic, enjoying an indifferent domesticity. Nice and snug in the social, our historic passions have withdrawn into the glow of an artificial coziness, and our half-closed eyes now seek little other than the peaceful parade of television pictures

BAUDRILLARD

 

Never resist a sentence you like, in which language takes its own pleasure and in which, after having abused it for so long, you are stupefied by its innocence.

BAUDRILLARD

 

Cowardice and courage are never without a measure of affectation. Nor is love. Feelings are never true. They play with their mirrors.

BAUDRILLARD

 

Perhaps our eyes are merely a blank film which is taken from us after our deaths to be developed elsewhere and screened as our life story in some infernal cinema or dispatched as microfilm into the sidereal void.

BAUDRILLARD

 

The world is not dialectical - it is sworn to extremes, not to equilibrium, sworn to radical antagonism, not to reconciliation or synthesis. This is also the principle of evil.”

BAUDRILLARD
