The lecture was based on Jean Baudrillard , and his views on reality. We payed particular attention to what Baudrillard refers to as ‘the code’. I found Baudrillard’s codes quite confusing and was almost at a point where i found it totally disinteresting. But as it was our first group session with lecturer William in the hatred and violence group; and the thought of being able to explore issues further, i felt i should give the topic more of a chance. Issues discussed in today’s lecture were:
· What is the code
· The symbolic exchange of ambivalence
· Defying the code
· The hate: racism
· And Baudrillard’s ‘solution’
I did leave the lesson feeling i didn’t understand what this ‘code’ theory was all about, but was eager to strive to come away with a better understanding in the next lesson.
