Hyperreality and Global Culture

<p>This book explores a world where the boundaries between reality and representation have become blurred a world where LA Law is used to train lawyers.<br> Drawing on examples from around the globe Nick Perry presents a fascinating and entertaining analysis of both familiar objects and situations as well as the more unusual and absurd. Meals served in British pubs motor-cycle gangs in downtown Tokyo Australian movies are just some examples used by the author in his engaging exploration of modern sense of the 'unreal'.<br><em>Hyperrealities</em> also engages with well known theorists of contemporary culture from Baudrillard and Umberto Eco to Jameson and Sartre.</p>
