Fantasy as a simulacrum

Demina A.V.

Annotation

The author of this article substantiates the provision of simulation fantasy nature, based on the lack of a model-referent in fantasy and display in the works of fantasy a “secondary”, a non-existent reality. This approach allows us to consider this phenomenon of contemporary culture as a kind of simulacrum of the third order, according to the theory of French postmodern philosopher Jean Baudrillard's.
