“…Geographers working with Baudrillard have too rarely emphasized the full political potential of hyperreality as a theoretical approach adequate for thinking difference in more radical ways (see Clarke et al., 1994 and Smith, 2003 for example; cf. Richardson, 2019). More recently other non-representational philosophies (namely that of Gilles Deleuze) have inspired new theorizations of “encounter” that are promising for geographic thought (Cockayne et al., 2017, 2020).…”

“…Importantly, geopolitics are also transformed under these conditions, evident in his essay “The Gulf War did not take place”, in which he claims that the conflict was transformed into a “non-event” for Western audiences who consumed a particular representation of the conflict as “high-tech” and “sanitary”, among other misleading imaginaries (Baudrillard, 1995). Recently, Miller and Del Casino (2018) have drawn on Baudrillard’s “non-event” to better understand the embodied politics of tourist spectacle in particular, while others explore Baudrillard’s relevance for the politics of sovereignty behind Brexit and the rise of Trumpism (Richardson, 2019).…”

In recent years scholars have explored the geopolitics of spectacle in exciting ways. While tourism presents a rich opportunity to think about the intersection of geopolitics and spectacle, only a small but growing number of researchers have explored this area where state-society relations unfold in complex ways. This article draws on this work and other traditions in feminist political geography and non-representational theories to explore the embodied geopolitics of a festival and its tourist landscape in the city of Chiang Mai in northern Thailand. As such, we glimpse a complex set of geopolitical relations at play in the multiple spaces of the Yii Peng Festival. A closer look at the Festival with the theoretical tools proposed here helps reveal ongoing geopolitical forces that shape its many contours, including a multiplicity of difference.

“…Such narratives have profoundly influenced public opinion and have limited potential for measured and evidence-based discussion about migration. Along similar lines the 'hyperreal' concept of taking back control of national borders is central to right-wing populist narratives, leading in the case of Brexit to disastrous political decisions (Richardson, 2019;. Indeed, the anchorings of illiberal bordering are often incoherent and irrational, reducing the complexity of national identity to singular and unambiguous categories.…”

Hungary’s illiberal border politics and the exploitation of social, spatial and temporal distinctions

Previous research on Hungarian right-wing populism has documented how the present government has identified different groups and individuals as threats to innate national interests and values, drawing distinctions between the ‘nation’, illegal migrants, non-heteronormative persons, liberal enemies in Brussels, George Soros and others. At the same time, the Orbán government has exploited the country’s internal divisions which, for example, reflect long-standing contestations between liberal and conservative understandings of national identity and purpose. Employing a critical border studies perspective, this article explores Hungary’s illiberal practices of socio-cultural, spatial and temporal border-making. These are central to Hungary’s project of ‘illiberal democracy’ and the forging of a political environment that marginalizes alternative viewpoints and that extends into the organization of civil society and everyday life. European dimensions of the Hungarian regime’s border politics are also briefly discussed in terms of evoking liberal-conservative divides and Hungary’s claims for greater national recognition as a defender of Europe’s Christian heritage. In the concluding section, the potential significance of Hungarian illiberal politics in terms of an erosion of social cohesion both nationally and within the European Union will be considered.

“…Dari hasil analisis mengenai hiperrealitas dalam novel Free to Fall, mereka menyebutkan bahwa orang Amerika menggunakan teknologi untuk menciptakan surga agar mendapatkan kebahagiaan. Pada kasus lain, Richardson (2019), melalui studi kasus pidato politis dan akun media Brexit dan kepresidenan "America First" dari Donald Trump, mengungkapkan bahwa hiperrealitas menyediakan logika untuk menguraikan kode imajiner sosiospasial kedaulatan masyarakat. Di samping itu, Leather and Gibson (2019) menyebutkan bahwa konsep hiperrealitas memfasilitasi pemahaman konsumerisme dan sifat kehidupan sosial kontemporer yang dimediasi dengan tidak memisahkan representasi dari pengalaman.…”

<p class="JudulAbstrakKeyword">Literature, as a work containing facts and fiction, can obscure the conventions of realities and create new realities so that there are no visible boundaries between the real thing and the unreal thing. Fact and fiction coincide and simulate to form hyperreality. In the short story “Yang Datang dari Negeri Asap (Who Comes from the Smoky Country)” by Hary B. Kori’un, the existence of facts and fiction overlap each other. The author created the country of smoke as a fictitious world due to his contemplation on the consumption culture, which is a phenomenon in people’s lives and relates it to the haze disaster that keeps going to occur every year. The researcher sorts out facts and fiction that are interconnected in the short story to explore the creation of hyperreality using the perspective of Jean Baudrillard. As a result, the researcher found a consumption culture in the community, especially plantation entrepreneurs. The presence of a new world in a short story is a reproduction of the value of a sign or symbol that simulates as if there was a poverty scenario created by globalization through a variety of industrial distribution media to extract all potentials to benefit an established industry. Finally, consumption culture causes all aspects of life to be a commodity object because the needs that arise will always exceed the production of goods.</p>
