Theory of representation - Jean Baudrillard
Media representation are always only at best a reflection of reality , the best media representations are reflections and are not the same as reality.
- The distinction between representation and reality breaks down over stages over time, the theory looks at stages this break down as this occurs
stage 1 - Early stages of a representation, is a reflection of reality
stage 2 - The representation masks and perverts reality
stage 3 - Next stage of representation , it marks an absence of reality
stage 4 - In the final stages of representation, it bears no resemblance to reality. It has become a simulacrum or hyper-reality.
