Fredric Jameson
Fredric Jameson (b.
1934) is a
Marxist political and
literary critic and
theorist. Jameson's best-known works include
The Political Unconscious,
Postmodernism: The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism, and
Marxism and Form; he has published dozens of books on politics,
culture, and
literature. Jameson's neo-Marxism, with its emphasis on social and historical totality, is strongly influenced by the
philosophy of
G.W.F. Hegel through the work of
Georg Lukács in Marxist political and literary thought. He is also widely known as a theorist of
postmodernism, as a description of the current historical condition at the end of the
twentieth century, though Jameson is by no means a "post-modernist."
