Jean Baudrillard on Media - Dictionary of Arguments
Blask I 24 Media/Baudrillard: the media's power is not enough to become concrete and real. It remains in the meaningless background noise. A critical handling of the electronic mass media is excluded. Only destruction would be possible. Blask I 36f Standstill of history: is the silence of the masses. The events follow each other so quickly and are presented by the media so incoherently that no more history can take place. >Events, >Media. On the other hand: Second argument: not acceleration, but deceleration causes the disappearance of the history. Nothing seems to happen. Symptom: one is addicted to newspapers and television news. Turning to relics and fossils of past epochs. >Newspapers, >Television._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
