Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"The scope and profundity of Postmodernism, covering theory, architecture, film, video, and economics, is truly staggering. . . . Brilliant . . ." -- Siauddin Sardar * The Independent * "No one theorist illustrates the recent history of postmodernism's history so well as Fredric Jameson." -- Michael Berube * Voice Literary Supplement * "Fredric Jameson is America's leading Marxist critic, a prodigiously energetic thinker whose writings sweep magisterially from Sophocles to science fiction. . . . Postmodernism is an intellectual blockbuster." -- Terry Eagleton * The Irish Times * "For anybody hoping to understand not just the cultural but the political and social implications of postmodernism . . . Jameson's book is a fundamental, nonpareil text." -- Gilbert Adair * Sunday Times (London) * "An encyclopedic grasp of modern culture." -- Stuart Hall * Marxism Today * "A classic of late 20th-century Euroamerican critical thought." -- Ned Lukacher * Choice * "Fredric Jameson, internationally recognized as a literary theorist and as America's most notable Marxist intellectual, has established a leading place in discussions of postmodernism. Jameson brings to the subject an immense range of reference both to artworks and to theoretical discussions; a strong hypothesis linking cultural changes to changes in the place of culture within the whole structure of life produced by a new phase of economic history (multinational capitalism); and a severely scholarly wish to analyze and understand, rather than praise or blame, the object of his study."-Jonathan Arac

Reseña del editor:

Now in paperback, 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.
