Perspectives: Lecture 8 - Key Words

• Hyperrealism:
is the blend of real and fiction forming a simulation of reality especially in technologically advanced postmodern societies such as the one in which we live, As example is social media in which everyone projects the best version of themselves online to validate their credibility to their peers.

•  Simulation:
 Simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system over time  

•  Simulacra
copies that depict things that either had no original to begin with, or that no longer have an original

•  ‘Fake news’
 is not just a public figure’s spinning of half-truths. It is mainly a media-driven, and deliberate attempt to spread a false narrative of propaganda to advance a political agenda that otherwise would be rejected by a common-sense public. The methodology is to manufacture a narrative attractive to a mass audience through media that will then devour and brand it as fact—and even lobby for government redress.
