disappears in 77 years one of the most lucid intellectuals in describing the transition to postmodernity. Jean Baudrillard - a note on his life found here - Build an ironic thought pataphysical means of a book - translated his works can be found here - able to give an account of virtualization the world, processes abstraction of the symbolic through a scintillating and critical reading of contemporary forms. Among
i suoi concetti più noti e rilevanti per la lettura mediologica vale la pena approfondire quello di simulazione e iperrealtà.
Un modo degno di ricordarlo può essere rivedersi la trilogia di Matrix. A lui non sarebbe piaciuto. Una contraddizione che è un omaggio.
I film della trilogia di Matrix si ispirano alla teoria postmoderna del filosofo francese Jean Baudrillard, citato esplicitamente nel soggetto originale. In una delle sequenze iniziali del primo film il protagonista Neo (Keanu Reeves) usa proprio un libro di Baudrillard - una copia di «Simulacra and simulation» (1983) - per nascondere uno dei software piratati di cui fa illegalmente commercio. E quasi per invitare gli spettatori a leggere o a rileggersi this work, the filmmakers have altered some details of the text: When Neo opens the book in half, shows the first page of the final chapter, entitled "On Nihilism."
In "Simulacra and Simulation" Baudrillard observes that the proliferation of images that characterizes the capitalist society and technology have led a movement from the "representation" of something that exists in reality a "simulation" that has no real referent, and that takes the power to shape reality. Interpreters of the Matrix filmmakers have imposed a condition: the reading of Baudrillard. The philosopher, however, did not appreciate the homage, considering the reference to inappropriate his thought: the Wachowski contacted to collaborate on the screenplay of the two sequels, has refused to take part in the company.
