Drawing on theories of the simulacra from Jean Baudrillard, the collection looks at the hyperreal--the state of being more real than the real--in television, film, gaming, and cultural identity. DeRosa's collection covers diverse content: from celebrity socialites to cooking shows on TV; from Arnold Schwarzenegger to Jesus Christ on the big screen; from Farmville to Extreme Championship Wrestling in the world of games; and from the new German avant-garde to Florida Studies in its treatment of postmodern identities and cultures. Robin DeRosa's Simulation in Media and Culture: Believing the Hype asks new questions--ethical, entertaining, and epistemological--about how we can understand the shifting nature of the real.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobin DeRosa\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor of English and women's studies at Plymouth State University in New Hampshire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 248\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.8 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 06, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67612455993618,"sku":"9780739184585","price":106.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/2211\/5346\/files\/hJb0ANVfsu9780739184585.webp?v=1791759135","url":"https:\/\/ckbookstore.net\/products\/simulation-in-media-and-culture-believing-the-hype-paperback","provider":"CK BOOKSTORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
