摘要 : 本文从让 · 鲍德里亚 ( Jean Baudrillard ) 哲学的视角出发 , 以跨学科的方式调查 了美国讽刺电视剧 “ 南方公园 ” 近期的一则情景 。 由于众多剧情中的幽默元素较为下流 , 制作该剧的人士几乎没有因为其在剧情中处理的实质性问题而受到褒奖 。 然而 , 通过本调 查证明 , 该剧应该受到研究流行文化的国际学者更多的注意 。 具体而言 , 本文揭示了名为 “ 霍比特人 ” 的剧集值得学者对模拟现实 ( simulated reality ) 的危险和信息时代由计 算机合成的女性特质进行及时讨论 。 通过对让 · 鲍德里亚的复杂哲学进行深入研究 , 本文 对 “ 霍比特人 ” 的分析表明了 ‘ 模拟危机 ’(‘ crisis of simulation ’) 的真实存在和 深度 , 这在让 · 鲍德里亚的众多著作中都有所提及 。 本文运用鲍德里亚式的反思证明 , 模 拟现实的出现是一个真实存在的问题 , 它需要现代世界更多的关注 。
