[...] Brett looked at zombies from the perspective of his favorite theorist to pronounce, Baudrillard. Brett takes Baudrillard’s idea of the hyper-real, and how the sign has come to mean nothing over the signified. Brett also writes on how in the film Dawn of the Dead, the main characters seek refuge in their local mall. This is compared to Baudrillard’s ideas of Disneyland. To the characters, the mall is their only safe haven while the rest of the world is going to hell. But is that the correct assumption. So head on over to Brett’s blog for all that and more, along with some cool pictures. http://bobsaget.wordpress.com/2007/05/03/jean-baudrillard-exterminating-zombies-with-theory/ [...]
