ABSTRACT

The present research aims to deconstruct the proclamatory discourses on COVID-19 circulating in the networks of cyberspaces. The study attempts to analyse whether the knowledge produced about the precautionary assumptions such as a lockdown or social distancing are intentionally highlighted through media and other social networks. For this purpose, the research borrows Jean Baudrillard’s concept of Simulacra and Simulation to analyse how the COVID-19 pandemic creates a sensation of unreal fear at the global level. This excessive sensation constructs a culture of exercising power that gradually replaces the real understanding of discrimination between reality and imitation. This projection of sustained discordance aligns with Baudrillard’s basic tenets of media simulation of reality, wherein a simulation process is a fabricated culture constructed by human beings that dominates nature through a reversal of commonsensical understanding about the relationship between nature and the culture that is constructed by man. Hence, whatever knowledge is consumed as a constructed entity remains a copy ad infinitum. The exploration demonstrates the stage of hyper-reality highlighted in the process of simulation and simulacra. The present analysis is interested in perusing the effects of interpenetration between the real/created media knowledge production through Baudrillard’s concept of simulation simulacra.

摘要

本研究旨在解构在网络空间网络中流传的关于 COVID-19 的宣传性话语。该研究试图分析有关预防性假设（例如封锁或社交距离）的知识是否通过媒体和其他社交网络有意突出显示。为此，该研究借用了让·鲍德里亚 (Jean Baudrillard) 的拟像和模拟概念来分析 COVID-19 大流行如何在全球范围内造成一种不真实的恐惧感。这种过度的感觉构建了一种行使权力的文化，逐渐取代了对现实与模仿之间的区别的真正理解。这种持续不和谐的投射符合鲍德里亚的媒体模拟现实的基本原则，其中，模拟过程是人类构建的一种虚构的文化，它通过对自然与人类构建的文化之间关系的常识性理解的颠倒来支配自然。因此，作为构造实体消费的任何知识仍然是无限复制。探索展示了模拟和拟像过程中突出的超现实阶段。目前的分析有兴趣通过鲍德里亚的模拟拟像概念来研究真实/创造的媒体知识生产之间的相互渗透的影响。任何作为构造实体消费的知识仍然是无限复制。探索展示了模拟和拟像过程中突出的超现实阶段。目前的分析有兴趣通过鲍德里亚的模拟拟像概念来研究真实/创造的媒体知识生产之间的相互渗透的影响。任何作为构造实体消费的知识仍然是无限复制。探索展示了模拟和拟像过程中突出的超现实阶段。目前的分析有兴趣通过鲍德里亚的模拟拟像概念来研究真实/创造的媒体知识生产之间的相互渗透的影响。
