Opis

Often considered to be one of the most important modern cultural critics, Fredric Jameson's work targets subjects from architecture to science fiction, to cinema and global capitalism. Of his works, The Political Unconscious remains one of the most widely cited Marxist literary-theoretical texts, and a later article, Postmodernism, or the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism, is considered by many to be amongst the most influential statements on the nature of postmodernity ever published.
