For our next session, we would like to propose this chapter from the Routledge introduction to Baudrillard on "Simulation and the Hyperreal". 

 

The text in question seems quite fitting for our research area since it explores the inter- and intramedial configurations of television, news reporting, military communication, and political discourse through Baudrillard's concept of "hyperreality"  specifically in regard to representations of war(s), giving an overview of how such a complex multimodal environment doesn't just transmit reality but actively shapes it.
