Baudrillard

Famous quotes containing the word baudrillard:

“Laughter on American television has taken the place of the chorus in Greek tragedy.... In other countries, the business of laughing is left to the viewers. Here, their laughter is put on the screen, integrated into the show. It is the screen that is laughing and having a good time. You are simply left alone with your consternation.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

“The surprises of thought are like those of love: they wear out. But here too you can carry on for a long time doing your conjugal duty.”

“There is no human reason to be here, except for the sheer ecstasy of being crowded together.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
