Yapa, Lakshman. "What Causes Poverty? A Postmodern View." Annals of the Association of American Geographers (December 1996), 86(4):723-724n1, 725.
Everything is a copy of a copy -- a simulacrum. Disneyland is authentic because there is no real distinction between the real and the model.
Yasmeen, Gisèle. "'Plastic Bag Housewives' and Postmodern Restaurants? Public and Private in Bangkok's Foodscape." Urban Geography (August 16-September 30, 1996), 17(6):536, 541.
Depthless images or simulacra are fanciful recreations of a past that never really existed, much like "Main Street USA" in Disneyland.
A special issue on Urban Geography and Cultural Studies.
Yúdice, George. "Testimonio and Postmodernism." Latin American Perspectives (Summer 1991), 18(3):23, 29.
