This approach would apply to Baudrillard's conception of simulacra as well. In his occasionally rather heated discourse, in which he likens Disneyland's parking lot to a concentration camp, Baudrillard expresses a paranoia of simulation which implies a yearning for reality. Baudrillard readily acknowledges that reality does not exist within our contemporary society. He, however, stops short of asserting that reality does not exist, period. |
