However, it would be a mistake to think that this world of spectacle and simulation is an autonomous realm. The boundaries between what is real and what is fiction are notoriously permeable and people tend to negotiate their own relationship between the two.

Answer

People do tend to form their own ideas on what is real and what's imaginary. "To negotiate a relationship between the two" = to decide what is a relationship between fiction/reality.

Answer

Your thought about moving freely between these realms seems plausible, I would have said that people choose their position somewhere between the two. I think you need a philosopher to answer this!
