From Symbols To Simulacra--a Study Of Baudrillard's Thought Based On The Principle Of Subjectivity

In postmodern philosophy,Baudrillard's ideological position cannot be ignored and its influence is extensive.It was in Baudrillard's that French modern left-wing thought completed the transformation from modernism to postmodernism and from Marxism to post-Marxism.This article will talk about the process of symbolization of real objects,and examine that in the comprehensive abstracted process of modern society,meanswhile objects gradually departing from reality become a self-contained symbolized existence,and finally enter into the construction of pure imagism,which is a surreal world that is more realistic than reality.In this process,the subjective status of humankind is excluded from the world picture,and the objective based on sign-object becomes the principle of human construction.This article mainly study the process of losing the subjectivity status of human beings under the logic of sign-objects in Baudrillard's thoughts.At the same time,objects that should be the subject's construction objects in turn structure and dominate human being and the world.This article is mainly divided into five parts.The first part is the introduction;it includes the research background and research purpose,and analyzes the research status of Baudrillard's thought.The second part is an explanation of the background of Baudrillard's thoughts.It traces the historical origin of the subjectivity category from the perspective of philosophical history and finally ended to Marx's Practical Materialism,explains the relationship between subjectivity and reality,and introduces the alienation problem deduced from it,in particular the Frankfurt School critiques the usefulness,then briefly describes the basic theory of semiotics.The third part discusses the reality from the three levels of existence,idea and discourse.In the image of usefulness,the process of abstraction as sign-objuects is discussed,and it is pointed out that human being losing their own existence of realism and active creative principles,which are constructed as pseudo-subjective illusions in the sign-object context.In the fourth part,the world view of the contemporary Bourgeoisie society constructed by the sign-objects is explained from the perspectives of the social-history field and the ontology of imagery.At the level of social-history,sign-objects are characterized by the current consumption society dominated by signs consumption.The logic of distinguishing the signs replaces the functional logic of the real thing,that is,the value of use.In the ontological realm,the current world is flooded with signs as the result of the sign-objects realized by the Infinite Semiosis of the signs theirselves in the process of simulating,created a closed self-referential system,the boundary between reality and image was broken here,and it became the Surreal,which is more real than reality.And the fifth part of this article summarize the full text and conclude that in the view of Baudrillard,under the mediating role of technology,that is,the imagery of usefulness,the current world has become a signized world.The system created by the logic of sign-objects is full of fields that should belong to the real object.All levels of the modern world are constrained by the structure of the sign system.The structure has become the standard that defines the present,and the subjectivity of mankind,which is the principle of active construction,The structure of the sign-objects is suspended and then dissolves.
