Overview

This book covers the full corpus of his work. It brings together work from internationally recognized scholars that critically engages with the full range of Jameson's work, including: Sartre, Lukacs, ""Third World"" literature, architecture and community politics, the economics of postmodernity, the political unconscious of globalization, film, dialectics and Brecht. In a series of lively readings, the contributors challenge accepted views of Jameson's work and locate his project in the historical, political and institutional context that shaped it.
