The Death of the Subject

[faustus]

RIP Jean Baudrillard (see here)

Though see this "Born in June 20, 1979, in Reims, west of Paris, Baudrillard, the son of civil servants, began a long teaching career instructing high school students in German. After receiving a doctorate in sociology, he taught at the University of Paris in Nanterre." H'mm.

Aw. I wrote a short paper about Baudrillard and cat snot once.

Okay, you've got my interest. Hollywood is snot real?

[esmeraldus-neo.livejournal.com]

No, it'ssnot.

The paper was something short, about the nature of the real...if you were imagining a cat, you'd never even approach the Real Cat, because most people would leave out the cat snot, and probably the kidneys as well.

Cats often leave out the kidneys. And other eviscera. Sp., no doubt.

Welcome to the desert of the real. Personally, I'd go for the real dessert. Such as chocolate puddle pudding
