Jean Baudrillard quotes - page 4
Jean Baudrillard was a French philosopher, sociologist, and cultural theorist known for his work on postmodernism and simulations. His theories challenged traditional concepts of reality, media, and consumer society. He influenced a wide range of fields, including philosophy, art, and media studies. Here are 92 of his quotes:
Forgetting extermination is part of extermination, because it is also the extermination of memory, of history, of the social, etc. This forgetting is as essential as the event in any case unlocatable by us, inaccessible to us in its truth. This forgetting is still too dangerous, it must be effaced by an artificial memory (today, everywhere, it is artificial memories that effect the memory of man, that efface man in his own memory). This artificial memory will be the restaging of extermination - but late, much too late for it to be able to make real waves and profoundly disturb something, and especially, especially through medium that is itself cold, radiating forgetfulness, deterrence, and extermination in a still more systematic way, if that is possible, than the camps themselves.
