Description

Fredric Jameson is one of the most important cultural critics. His work impacts across a range of disciplines from literary and cultural studies to film, sociology and architecture. This book covers the full corpus of his work. It brings together work from internationally recognized scholars that critically engages with the full range of Jameson's work, including: Sartre, Lukacs, "Third World" literature, architecture and community politics, the economics of postmodernity, the political unconscious of globalization, film, dialectics and Brecht. In a series of lively readings, the contributors challenge accepted views of Jameson's work and locate his project in the historical, political and institutional context that shaped it.
