Fredric Jameson: A Critical Reader

Fredric Jameson: A Critical Reader Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Fredric Jameson is one of the most important and audacious cultural critics writing today. His work impacts across a range of disciplines from literary and cultural studies to film, sociology and architecture. This new collection of previously unpublished critical essays covers the full corpus of Jameson's work: from his initial studies of Sartre and dialectical criticism, through his path-breaking work on the political unconscious, modernism and postmodernism, to his controversial essays on third world literature, space, architecture and Latin American studies.

Douglas Kellner is Professor, Graduate School of Education, UCLA.

Sean Homer is Lecturer, City College, Thessalonika, Greece.
