Baudrillard - Hyperreality & simulacra and simulation

Hyperreality.
lets take the coke advert...

As you can see from this advert you get the impression that this bottle of 'ice-cold coke' has been especially made for the man who put the coin into the machine. But as we know there isnt a little fantacy world behind the coke machine that is what we are made to believe. As we know coke is made in a factory and it hasnt been made in the way is shown; infact its just carbonated water made to look like somthing its not. this advert is a hypereality of the bottle of coke.

Simulacra and simulation.

List of things i need to do.

-Fiske
-derrida
-Bricolage
-simulacra and simulation
-baudrillard (hyperreality)

-pastiche (imitate nice) homage (nice) parody (not nice)
-Leotard (grand and samll narative)
-plurasism and relitivism.


Need to create a post on each of these to consolidate my learning.
