From Representation to Simulation. From Construction of Oneself to the Crime of the Other. A Discussion among Women

The Perfect Crime (J. Baudrillard, 1996) addresses women's identity, the construction of Otherness, & the perfect crime in Western society -- the woman's encounter with radical Otherness. The implications of this book for women & feminists are discussed. The world has arrived at a "simulation" of freedom through the death of collective referents & signs, the double functioning of the mass media as both emitor & receptor, & the breakdown in unifying dialogue between subjects. 12 References.
