Authors

Abstract

The main goal of this article is to analyse the affinity that Slavoj Zizek found between Gilles Deleuze’s concept of virtual and the film The Matrix. But, considering the idea of hyper real in Jean Baudrillard and the difference between virtual reality and reality of the virtual, is that an acceptable affinity?

Key words: Deleuze, Baudrillard, Zizek, virtual, hyper-real.
