Jean Baudrillard quotes about
columns consume culture delicious europeans mental newspapers panacea space special
Here in the U.S., culture is not that delicious panacea which we Europeans consume in a sacramental mental space and which has its own special columns in the newspapers -- and in people's minds. Culture is space, speed, cinema, technology. This culture is authentic, if anything can be said to be authentic.
democracies-have lust democracy
Democracy is the menopause of Western society, the Grand Climacteric of the body social. Fascism is its middle-aged lust.
destruction renovation reconstruction
Postmodernity is the simultaneity of the destruction of earlier values and their reconstruction. It is renovation within ruination.
sophisticated enough simulation
Simulation is the situation created by any system of signs when it becomes sophisticated enough, autonomous enough, to abolish its own referent and to replace it with itself.
