However, even after Baudrillard's supposed break from psychoanalysis, which produces the concept of simulation, Freud's influence looms large as the Freudian conception of disavowal and fetishism reappears in his reconceptualization of the symbolic. The primacy of the sign without the signified becomes central to his understanding of reality's constitution in successive stages of simulation. His work from this point forward seeks to illuminate the dominance of objects without recourse to object relations theory. In Symbolic Exchange and Death, Jean Baudrillard (2017) claims that the psychoanalytic distinction between primary and secondary process will eventually collapse under the pressure of deconstructive efforts to break down binary oppositions.
