In this video we use range of examples to explain aspects of Jean Baudrillard’s work on post-modernism. This is an essential media theorist for those that study A-level media studies, but also applies to communication studies and cultural studies. We look at hyperreality, culture as a simulation and simulacra, and hyperreal inertia.
