my first interactions with Baudrillard's book, "Simulacra and Simulation" have not been that of ease. not so far in as the first paragraph, the quote on which he starts his book, i have found myself worried. i knew the goal i had chose to set for myself was not an easy one, but i couldn't have predicted it'd be so challenging, because I've not came across such a difficult read in my short years.
So, I'm setting out with two goals in mind; the first, and arguably lesser of these two evils is the job of understanding what Baudrilliard is trying to say. the second, should i accomplish the first of decoding his cryptic and and frustrating text, is that of putting it into words that can be understood by my piers with greater ease than his work. my gift, to my fellow classmates, is to be the go-between, to save everyone else from having to figure out his infernal writings.
