Follow up questions re the Hyppereal by Elisa Oliver
Following on from our class discussion last week could you revisit your notes and the text we looked at and answer the following questions. Please use these questions as a point of consolidation of what we have done to date and as a launchpad of further research on the subject-particularly if you are looking to pursue this topic for your essay.
1. What does Baudriallard mean when he refers to the 'fullness' of the sign? And in contrast what does he then mean by the hyppereal?
2. How would you define the terms simulation and simulacra?
3. Why is Disneyland a 'third order simulation?

1. What Baudriallard meant that the 'fullness' of the sign referring to how the sign represents the voice of the people and how it means something.
2. The definition of the terms simulation and simulacra are in comparison to how disney 2d creations to 3d creations of the cartoons creating similar characters but different perspective and how one can be physical and one can't.
3. Disneyland is referred to as a 'third other simulation' because it's 2d creation has been recreated in a 3d physical shape allowing interaction.
