I’m too tired to read stuff like this…

11 Jan

In Baudrillard, for example, an analysis based on the production of goods gives way to one based on the exposure and critique of the production of meaning, for instance the ’simulation’ and ‘hyperreality’ that characterize sustaining fictions of the ‘real’ within modern culture. -Patrick Joyce in “Class”

I’ve read it about ten times now, written it two times, and I still fail to grasp the meaning of it. Maybe tomorrow. Now, I will take a non-curriculum book with me to bed – my bedmate (besides the husband, obviously) for the last week or so has been George R. R. Martin’s “A Clash of Kings”, and it’s marvelous. Never too tired for some good fantasy.

    Haha. That’s like you’ve taken a random quote from a random piece of culture student curriculum. I’ll be so glad to get this thesis overwith.

    Well, it IS cultural history, so… ;) I gave up on the article though.
