Publisher Comments:

Fredric Jameson, a leading voice on the subject of postmodernism, assembles his most powerful writings on the culture of late capitalism in this essential volume. Classic insights on pastiche, nostalgia, and architecture stand alongside essays on the status of history, theory, Marxism, and the subject in an age propelled by finance capital and endless spectacle. Surveying the debates that blazed up around his earlier essays, Jameson responds to critics and maps out the theoretical positions of postmodernism’s prominent friends and foes.

Synopsis:

An accessible introduction to the key writings on postmodernism by the influential Marxist critic.

Synopsis:

One of the leading Marxist critics in the English-speaking world, Fredric Jameson has had an immense impact on our understanding of postmodernism.

This book is designed as a short and convenient introduction to Jameson's thought for both the student and the general reader.
