Felsefe ve Postmodernizm uzerine yaptigi eserleriyle taninan Fransiz filozof ve sosyolog Jean Baudrillard'nin dogum yildonumu (27 Temmuz 1929)
Cayi icen insan degil, cay insanı iciyor.
Pipoyu tutturen sen degilsin, pipo seni tutturuyor.
Kitap beni okuyor.
Televizyon beni izliyor.
Hedef bize isabet ediyor.
Sonuc bizim nedenimiz oluyor.
Dil bizi konusuyor.
Zaman bizi yitiriyor.
Para bizi kazaniyor.
It isn't the man who drinks the tea, it's the tea which drinks the man
It isn't you who smoke the pipe, it's the pipe which smokes you
It's the book which reads me
It's the TV which watches you
It's the lens which focuses on us
It's the effect which causes us
It's language which speaks us
It's time which wastes us
It's money which earns us
"Turlerin karisimi yasasi dayatiliyor bize. Her sey cinseldir; her sey politiktir; her sey estetiktir; hem de ayni zamanda. Her sey politik bir anlam kazandi, ozellikle de 1968'den bu yana sadece gundelik yasam degil; delilik, dil, medya ve hatta arzu bile politik bir anlam kazandi. Her sey ozgurlesme ve kolektif kitlesel surecler alanina girdigi olcude politiklesiyor. Ayni zamanda her sey cinsel hale geldi, her sey arzu nesnesidir. Iktidar, bilgi, her sey fantasma ve bastirma terimleriyle yorumlaniyor, basmakalıp bir cinsellik her yere egemen durumda. Aynı zamanda her sey estetiklesiyor: Politika gosteri icinde, cinsellik reklamcilik ve pornoda, her tür etkinlik kultur olarak adlandirilan seyin icinde estetik nitelik kazaniyor; her seyi istila eden medyatik ve reklamci gostergelesme tarzi; kulturun fotokopilestigi nokta. Her kategori mumkun oldugunca genellesir ve boylece tum ozgullugunu yitirir ve tum diger kategoriler tarafından emilir. Her sey politik oldugunda artik hicbir sey politik degildir ve politika sozcugunun anlamı kalmaz. Her sey cinsel oldugunda artik hicbir sey cinsel degildir ve cinsellik tum belirlenimini yitirir. Her şey estetik oldugunda artik guzel ya da cirkin olan bir sey kalmaz ve sanat da yok olur." Kotulugun Sefafligi
"The law that is imposed on us is the law of the confusion of categories. Everything is sexual. Everything is political. Everything is aesthetic. All at once. Everything has acquired a political meaning, especially since 1968; and it is not just everyday life but also madness, language, the media, even desire, that are politicized as they enter the sphere of liberation, the sphere of mass processes. Likewise everything has become sexual, anything can be an object of desire: power, knowledge - everything is interpreted in terms of phantasies, in terms of repression, and sexual stereotypy reigns in every last corner. Likewise, too, everything is now aestheticized: politics is aestheticized in the spectacle, sex in advertising and porn, and all kinds of activity in what is conventionally referred to as culture - a sort of all-pervasive media- and advertising-led semiologization: 'culture degree Xerox' . Each category is generalized to the greatest possible extent, so that it eventually loses all specificity and is reabsorbed by all the other categories. When everything is political, nothing is political any more, the word itself is meaningless. When everything is sexual, nothing is sexual any more, and sex loses its determinants. When everything is aesthetic, nothing is beautiful or ugly any more, and art itself disappears."
