POSTMODERNISM OR, THE CULTURAL LOGIC OF LATE CAPITALISM

Fredric Jameson’s most wide-ranging work seeks to crystalize a definition of “postmodernism.” Jameson’s inquiry looks at the postmodern across a wide landscape, from “high” art to “low” from market ideology to architecture, from painting to “punk” film, from video art to literature.

Fredric Jameson is William A. Lane Professor of Comparative Literature and Director of both the Graduate Program in Literature and the Duke Center for Critical Theory at Duke University. He has published widely on Marxism, literary theory, post-structuralism, and postmodernism. His books include “Marxism and Form, The Prison House of Language, The Political Unconscious, The Ideologies of Theory: Essays 1971 – 1986, Fables of Aggression”, and “Late Marxism: Adorno, or, The Persistence of the Dialectic”.
