Jean Baudrillard: Le simulacre est vrai – The simulacrum is true | Kritikos
– Intertheory Press | Online International Conference
| 27 July 2022
Le
simulacre n'est jamais ce qui cache la vérité - c'est la vérité qui cache qu'il
n'y en a pas. Le
simulacre est vrai.[1]
The simulacrum is never that which hides
the truth. It is the truth that hides that there is none.
The simulacrum is true.
Jean Baudrillard
