Consumer society - shohishakai (English spelling) consumptive society; société de consommation (French)
It is considered to be a society that appears after industrialization has progressed sufficiently. J. Baudrillard called a consumer society a society in which things are consumed not for their own utility, but for the symbolic value that arises from their distinctive relationship with other things. If all things have symbolic existence, then the distinction between originals (non-symbolic) and copies does not hold. Baudrillard tries to describe the state in which reality is composed of such symbolic existences using words such as "simulation" and "simulacrum." A simulacrum is a symbolic existence without an original, and a simulation is a system that produces such existences.

産業化が十分に進展した後に現れる社会と考えられている。 J.ボードリヤールは,物がそれ自身として持つ効用のためではなく,他の物との示差的な関係から生れる記号的な価値のゆえに消費されるような社会を,消費社会と呼んだ。もし,すべての物が,記号的な存在であるとすれば,オリジナル (非記号) とコピーの区別は成り立たないことになる。現実がこのような記号的な存在によって構成されている状態を,ボードリヤールは「シミュレーション」「シミュラークル」などの語によって記述しようとしている。シミュラークルとは,オリジナルなしの記号的な存在のことであり,シミュレーションはそのような存在を生産するシステムのことである。
