Críticas:

"Probably the most important cultural critic writing in English today ... It can be truly said that nothing cultural is alien to him."--Colin MacCabe"Exploding like so many magnesium flares in the night sky, Fredric Jameson's writings have lit up the shrouded landscape of the postmodern ... "The Cultural Turn" offers the most compact and complete resume on the subject."--Perry Anderson

Reseña del editor:

Designed as a short introduction to Fredric Jameson's thought for both the student and the general reader, this reader gives accessible coverage to his writings on postmodernism. The book includes: "Postmodernism and Consumer Society", Jameson's analysis of postmodernity; "Marxism and Postmoderism", in which he responds to his critics; "Theories of the Postmodern", his survey of alternative approaches; "The Antinomies of Postmodernity", an extract from his recently published work, "The Seeds of Time", in which he surveys the philosophical tensions embedded in the postmodern; and "End of Art" or "End of History?" and "Transformations of the Image in Postmodernity", two pieces hitherto unpublished in English, on art and the image in the postmodern epoch. Fredric Jameson is also the author of "Late Marxism: Adorno, or, The Persistence of Dialectic" and "Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism".
