Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Fredric Jameson is America's leading Marxist critic. A prodigiously energetic thinker whose writings sweep majestically from Sophocles to science fiction." Terry Eagleton (in praise of A Singular Modernity) "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." Sunday Times (in praise of Postmodernism) "The scope and profundity of Postmodernism, covering theory, architecture, film, video and economics, is truly staggering ... Brilliant." Independent (in praise of Postmodernism)

Reseña del editor:

Fredric Jameson sweeps from the Renaissance to "The Wire" High modernism is now as far from us as antiquity was for the Renaissance. Such is the premise of Fredric Jameson s major new work in which modernist works, this time in painting (Rubens) and music (Wagner and Mahler), are pitted against late-modernist ones (in film) as well as a variety of postmodern experiments (from SF to "The Wire," from Eurotrash in opera to Altman and East German literature): all of which attempt, in their different ways, to invent new forms to grasp a specific social totality. Throughout the historical periods, argues Jameson, the question of narrative persists through its multiple formal changes and metamorphoses."
