Baudrillard'ın simülasyon kuramı her ne kadar kapitalist topluma dair bütünlüklü bir açıklamayı ele alsa da simülasyonun yeniden üreticisi olarak medyayı merkeze alması oldukça önemlidir. Bu bağlamda kapitalizme, kitleye, medyaya bakışına yaslanarak yapılan bu çalışma basına bakışını konu edinmektedir.

This article explores the effect of these simulated wireless sites on a traditional mode of knowledge like architecture. What happened when architecture, framed within the institutional vision of the BBC, encountered the specific mode of production, reproduction and d...
