view, the power to unravel the very idea of 'justification' or 'legitimation' and, with it, the rationale for research altogether especially . in disciplines pertaining to human life, society and meaning.
We are now controlled not by binding extra-linguistic value paradigms defining notions of collective identity and ultimate purpose, but rather by our automatic responses to different species of "language games".
The assumptions of universality, consensus, and generality are essentially Humanistic enlightenment narratives. the appeal of transcendentals and metaphysical unities are now beyond belief.
The traditional epistemological perspectives of Representationalism and Correspondence theory that rely upon the
independence of knowers is no longer tenable.
Jean Baudrillard (1929–2007),
In Simulacra and Simulation, introduced the concept that reality or the principle of the "Real" is short-circuited by the interchangeability of signs in an era whose communicative and semantic acts are dominated by electronic media and digital technologies.
Baudrillard proposes the notion that, in such a state, where subjects are detached from the outcomes of events (political, literary, artistic, personal, or otherwise), events no longer hold any particular sway on the subject nor have any identifiable context; they therefore have the effect of producing widespread indifference, detachment, and passivity in industrialized populations.
He claimed that a constant stream of appearances and references without any direct consequences to viewers or readers could eventually render the division between appearance and object indiscernible, resulting, ironically, in the "disappearance" of mankind in what is, in effect, a virtual or holographic state, composed only of appearances.
A hologram (pronounced HOL-o-gram ) is a three-dimensional image, created with photographic projection. The term is taken from the Greek words holos (whole) and gramma (message).
