Lesson Two - Introduction into Patents, Hyper Reality and Image Rich.


Patent / Copyrights / Law Suits = PoMo
Hyper-Reality
Fractured identity, certainties of class, gender, place fade. Emphasis on lifestyle means identity is dynamic. Globalisation and the internet. Ethnicity, race, sexuality, age are not all recognised as significant. Everything is equal.

Levi Strauss
Saw any text as constructed out of socially recognisable ‘debris’ from other texts. He saw that writers construct texts from other texts by a process of: Addition, deletion, substitution and transportation.

Image Rich
-          Style over substance
-          Hyper reality – an image, aspiring to look / be perfect
-          Representations dominate
-          Simulacra; Everything is a copy
-          Boundaries between high and low culture no longer fixed
-          Everything is replaced by a copy.
