Widely regarded as one of America's most important cultural
theorists, Fredric Jameson has been at the forefront of the field
of literary and cultural studies since the early 1970s. Author of
"The Political Unconscious: Narrative as a Socially Symbolic Act
and Postmodernism or, the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism",
Jameson is without doubt one of the leading intellectuals of our
time. "Fredric Jameson: Live Theory" offers an invaluable and
highly accessible introduction to the work of this important
thinker. Ian Buchanan explores and illuminates how Jameson forms
his concepts and how they operate, providing a fascinating account
of Jameson's important and ongoing contributions to Critical
Theory. The book provides a clear sense of his overall project and
the marvellous productivity of his thinking. Motivated by a desire
to inaugurate social change by illuminating the obstacles standing
in its way, the aim of Jameson's work is to dishabituate us from
the comfortable feeling that modern life is enhanced by the global
grip of capitalism. The book concludes with a new interview with
Jameson himself, in which he discusses the key themes and issues in
his work and future directions for the Jamesonian project.
Thematically organised, clear and accessible, "Fredric Jameson:
Live Theory" is a key resource for anyone studying this pioneering
thinker.
