About the Book

This groundbreaking volume by Fredric Jameson, one of the most influential literary theorists of our time, offers his most comprehensive attempt to define the cultural and intellectual movement known as postmodernism. The book traverses an extraordinary range of artistic and social landscapes — examining the postmodern condition as it manifests in:

• High and low art forms

• Market ideologies and consumer capitalism

• Architecture, painting, and video art

• Punk cinema and experimental literature

With intellectual rigor and cultural depth, Jameson dissects the structure and logic of postmodernism as it permeates global culture. His reflections challenge readers to reconsider the meaning of artistic production, ideology, and social theory in an era of rapid globalization and cultural fragmentation.
