Recensione:

"The text is extremely well researched, written and organized, covering the entirety of Jameson′s corpus. The study is also very lively and polemical, bringing in a wide range of critical literature to bear on Jameson′s thought. There is no such comparable book on the market which provides such a comprehensive and engaging study." Douglas Kellner, University of Texas at Austin

"A lucid and accessible guide to Jameson′s work." Radical Philosophy

Dalla quarta di copertina:

This book provides the first comprehensive critical analysis of the work of Fredric Jameson, one of the most important cultural critics writing today. Homer provides a clear exposition and appraisal of Jameson's theories and an assessment of his contribution to contemporary cultural theory.

Homer reappraises Jameson's writing in the context of European and Anglo-American critical and social theory. Detailed analyses are given of contemporary debates within Marxist cultural theory, post-structuralism and postmodernism, including dialectical theories of literature, the representation of history, the politics of desire, spatial theory, and the status of totalizing thought. All of Jameson's major works are considered and Homer gives a lucid and critical assessment of the debates to which they have given rise.

Fredric Jameson will be invaluable to students and academics in literary and cultural studies, sociology and media studies, as well as those interested in one of the leading thinkers of our time.
