Disneyland is a perfect model of all the entangled orders of simulacra. It is first a play of illusions and phantasms: the Pirates, the Frontier, the Future World, etc. This imaginary world is ensure the success of the operation. But, what attracts the crowds the most is without a doubt the social microcosm, the religious, miniaturized pleasure of the in America.

BAUDRILLARD

 

Disneyland exists in order to hide that it is the "real" country, all of "real" America that is Disneyland.

BAUDRILLARD

 

It is no longer a question of a false representation of reality (ideology) but of concealing that fact that the real is no longer real, and thus saving the reality principle. The imageinary if Disneyland is neither true or false.

BAUDRILLARD

 

The search for proof, indeed the objectivity of of the facts does not put an end to this vertigo of interpretation.

BAUDRILLARD

 

We are in a logic of simulation, which no longer has anything to do with a logic of facts and an order of reason.

BAUDRILLARD

 

Simulation is characterized by a procession of the model, of all the models based on the merest fact – the model comes first, their circulation, orbital like that of the bomb, constitutes the genuine magnetic field of events.

BAUDRILLARD

 

Confusing the fact with it's model… is what allows each time for all possible interpretations, even the most contradictory – all true, in the sense that their truth is to be exchanged, in the image of the models from which they derive, in a generalized cycle.

BAUDRILLARD

 

All the referentials combine their discourse in a circular, Mobian compulsion.

BAUDRILLARD

 

Simulation is infinitely more dangerous because it always leaves open to supposition that, above and beyond its object, law and order themselves might be nothing but simulation.

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

BAUDRILLARD

 

It is always the same: once you are liberated, you are forced to ask who you are

BAUDRILLARD

 

With the truth, you need to get rid of it as soon as possible and pass it on to someone else. As with illness, this is the only way to be cured of it. The person who keeps truth in his hands has lost.”

BAUDRILLARD

 

Like dreams, statistics are a form of wish fulfillment.

BAUDRILLARD

 

There is nothing funny about Halloween. This sarcastic festival reflects, rather, an infernal demand for revenge by children on the adult world.

BAUDRILLARD

 

We have dreamt of every woman there is, and dreamt too of the miracle that would bring us the pleasure of being a woman, for women have all the qualities - courage, passion, the capacity to love, cunning - whereas all our imagination can do is naively pile up the illusion of courage.
