Jameson (Routledge Critical Thinkers).pdf

FREDRIC JAMESON

Widely recognised as one of today’s most important cultural critics,

Fredric Jameson’s writing addresses subjects from architecture to

science fiction, cinema and global capitalism. His 1981 work The

Political Unconscious remains one of the most widely cited Marxist

literary-theoretical texts, and ‘Postmodernism, or the cultural logic of

late capitalism’ is amongst the most influential statements on the nature

of postmodernity ever published.

This volume examines not only Jameson’s key ideas, but also the

sources and contexts of his writing and his impact in the field of critical

theory. With a fully annotated bibliography of Jameson’s work and

suggestions for further secondary reading, this volume offers valuable

entry points into some of today’s most significant critical thought.

Adam Roberts is Lecturer in English at Royal Holloway, University of

London. He is the author of Science Fiction in Routledge’s The New

Critical Idiom series and his science fiction novel Salt (2000) is

published by Victor Gollancz.
