| dc.description.abstract | The present thesis aims to examine Bret Easton Ellis’ Glamorama (1998) in the light of Jean Baudrillard’s theory of simulacra and simulation, which has been of crucial importance in terms of adjudicating the notion of reality in a postmodern context. Not only does Baudrillard state that our ideas of what we call “real” are not valid, but he also argues that there is not one single, universal reality at all. Reality is often defined as the state of things as they actually exist, rather than as they appear or are thought to be. As opposed to this general understanding, Baudrillard asserts that we cannot talk about reality as correspondence to the way things are since the way our consciousness defines what is actually “real” is determined by a multitude of media that are able to filter and change what one think is an “original” event or experience. | hu_HU |
