Killacam32 4/15 derrida

Its too bad that deridda died because i feel like he was a genuis. His perspective that humans were locked into words told us alot about the society we live in today. I feel that he made a connection to baudrillard and jenkins with the private and public. I think that when he talked about private and public names since we live in a computerized world that he was tlaking maybe our blogger,twitter, facebook, myspace, email, aim, etc screen names because now you have to make those names seperate from the names that you use wiht family freinds. For the fact that anyone can see your screen name on these public sites people change their names keeping people form seeing their last names or even just making a new name completely. The funny thing about that is people end up using those names of being claled by those names and so i think relates to baudrillards quote about "fiction outstripping reality". Another connection i made wiht derrida and the public names versus private names was jenkins quote, "People who may not ever meet face to face and thus have few real-world connections with each other can tap into the shared framework of popular culture to facilitate communication. 556 ". That quote has alot to do wiht public and private names because people can facilate what others know about them and by limiting the names to a screen name or made up name people can have a full conversation or play a game witout letting everybody know who they really are. His idea about public and private names was genuis and really connected witht he two other thoerist well.
