The Jameson reader

"Fredric Jameson is one of the most provocative and influential cultural critics of our age. Analyzing and historicizing cultural phenomena, he weaves together some of the most powerful critical paradigms, including Marxism, psychoanalysis, and poststructuralism, into an original and systematic vision of the contemporary world." "The Jameson Reader, which presents essays and excerpts from the broad spectrum of his writings, will be useful for both initiates and veteran readers of his work."--Jacket.
