Blask I 26 Simulacra = are artificial worlds of signs. Baudrillard: Order of the Simulacra: 1st order: (Renaissance) Imitation, pretense, automat 2nd order: (industrial revolution) production/reproduction, robot 3rd order: (Present) There is random permutation. Negation is integrated. There is total relativity. There is no choice. All answers are already there. Blask I 29 Def Simulation/Baudrillard: simulation is that irresistible process, in which things are linked together as if they had a meaning. It eliminates the principle of truth and thus the semantic equivalence between the signifier and the signified. >Simulation, >Robots, >Truth, >Synonymy, >Sign, >Symbol, >Renaissance, >Relativism._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
