What is Simulacra?
A simulacrum (or simulacra) is a copy or representation of something that is not the real thing.
In the context of our world, simulacra can take many forms, from the subtle to the overt.
We'll be exploring the many facets of simulacra throughout this course, so stay tuned!
Simulacra in Practice
From the simulacra of memories to the simulacra of experiences, we'll be diving into the ways in which our perceptions of reality are shaped and reshaped.
We'll be discussing the implications of living in a world where the lines between truth and fiction are constantly blurred.
Simulacra and Technology
As technology continues to advance, so too does our ability to create simulacra of the world around us.
We'll be looking at the ways in which technology is used to create, shape, and control simulacra.
Simulacra in Society
We'll be examining the ways in which simulacra are used to control and manipulate society, from politics to advertising.
We'll be discussing the implications of living in a world where the simulacra of reality is constantly shifting.
Realism and Simulacra
We'll be delving into the relationship between the real and the simulacra, and what it means to truly be real in our world.
