The Need to Forget Baudiard's Theory of the Simulacrum

Baudiard's theory of the similacrum is that everything operates in an integrated circuit, a kind of death by recursion. When baudart is proffered up as the apotheosis of radical theories such as this he is concretized and possibility for development foreclosed. Victoria grace falls victim to this trap suggesting that hyper reality is an era or mode of representation, imploding and displacing the real from its location of reference. By succumbing to this trap she naturalizes so called natural real, as she puts it, social form tions, as opposed to hyperreal ones. I conclude by suggesting that baudiard's theories can be used by feminist thought
