Special note on referencing

Please note that the referencing approach should be standard Harvard. That means that in-text citations should be matched by one comprehensive list of references. Do not add a second list styled ‘Bibliography’.

Titles

Baudrillard suggests that the present era is characterised by the sign of the real assuming greater importance than the real itself. He terms this the hyper-real[ Baudrillard, J. (1988) Simulacra and Simulations, in M. Poster (ed) Jean Baudrillard: Selected Writings, Oxford: Polity Press, pp 166-184.].

Critically discuss this suggestion. You should make reference to the theoretical origins of the concept of the hyper-real, and illustrate your understanding with examples from the tourism and/or events fields.
