  Quotes Baudillard's remarks about social reality as a mere world of floating signs, the political economy of symbolic exchange, and that the body as an object of salvation has replaced the ideological function of the soul, and cites a conference paper by M. Hobart that summarises Baudrillard's earlier critiques of Marx's "Law of Exchange Value."

  Invokes Baudrillard's view of the reality principle (signifying principles of truth around which other truths operate) to discuss karaoke which takes as its reality principle the idea of role-playing, satirizes it, revealing the simulation.

• Adams, Paul C. "Television as Gathering Place." Annals of the Association of American Geographers (March 1992), 82(1): 126, 132.

  Refers to Baudrillard's Simulations (1983) and observes that people on TV are divorced from their original referents (persons) and become like the simulacra described by Baudrillard.

  Refers to Baudrillard as the most sociological of four postmodernist thinkers, cites his view that consumers buy products for their sign-value: hyperreality, constructed by media, is simulated for people, making them incapable of distinguishing simulation from reality, a precondition of all social criticism. Baudrillard carries Marxist theory of culture to a new step, to reconsider the relative autonomy of symbolic and cultural systems and to decode cultural simulations as false representations of reality.

• Ahmed, Sara. "Beyond Humanism and Postmodernism: Theorizing a Feminist Practice." Hypatia (Spring 1996), 11(2): 80-84, 90-91.

  Baudrillard's views are antagonistic to feminist theory and practice, that his stress on the instability and indeterminacy of signifying structures makes categories such as "gender" impossible. The author problematizes Baudrillard's shift from the argument that sexuality is nonreferential to the conclusion that sexual difference is indeterminate.

        On Baudrillard's view, the villain is consumer society, and the absence of critical debate by the silent majorities is evidence of a politics that views the democratic state as a ruse, which merely delivers an ersatz public life in which there is no critical debate on important issues. This reaffirms, rather than attacks, the moral foundations of politics.

        Argues that Baudrillard's early essay "Requiem for the Media" (1971, 1981) recapitulates Sartre's theory of mass media in Critique of Dialectical Reason (1960). Baudrillard then carried this further with the view that mediatized reality, simulacra, superceded reality, and imposed meaning, and the only critical response is to refuse all meaning. But, the author argues, artistic discourses depend on representation, not simulation.
