Hyperreality
Baudrillard introduced the idea of hyper-reality in which he explains how reality works in the postmodern world. He states it as a place that is physical but also a fictional representation of the world at the same time then Baudrillard says that this is just the surface meaning and there is o longer a distinction between any original thing for a sign to represent in which sign is referred to as meaning. Postmodernists believe that simulation of reality has replaced the pure reality of the world by replacing it with hyper-reality, blurring the line between what is real and imagery.
He once described Disneyland as one of the main examples of hyper-reality by representing the imaginary being more real than the reality itself, He believed that Disneyland attracts media consumers into a simulation to escape all of their real-world tension and give them a sense of happiness and joy.
