In such celebrated works as Postmodernism: The Cultural Logic of
Late Capitalism, Fredric Jameson has established himself as one of
America's most observant cultural commentators. In Signatures of
the Visible, Jameson turns his attention to cinema - the artform
that has replaced the novel as the defining cultural form of our
time. Historicizing a form that has flourished in a post-modern and
anti-historical culture, he explores the allegorical and
ideological dimensions of such films as The Shining, Dog Day
Afternoon and the works of Alfred Hitchcock, among many
others.
Fifteen years on from its original publication, this remains a
piercing and original analysis of film from a writer and thinker
whose influence continues to be felt long after that of the
fashionable post-modernists he has always critiqued.
