Synopsis "Posmodernismo 2 (in Spanish)"

Este es el libro clásico en la definición del posmodernismo, indispensable para comprender las lógicas de la producción de la cultura en el sistema mundial del capitalismo avanzado o capitalismo tardío. Desde una perspectiva histórica, Frederic Jameson pone de manifiesto las diferencias entre el periodo modernista, al que define por su vocación utópica, y el posmoderno, del que advierte la denuncia la estilización de la producción cultural devenida en mercancía. La clasificación de las ideologías, que rodea al concepto de lo posmoderno, su estructura sobre los ejes de la apología y el rechazo, tanto de la cosa posmoderna como del momento moderno. En este volumen, segundo de los tres en los que se divide la obra, el foco está puesto en la literatura y sus interpretaciones, la resignificación de la utopía y el nuevo historicismo en el discurso teórico posmoderno.

Fredric Jameson (1934–2024) was an influential American literary critic and Marxist theorist, known for his analysis of contemporary culture and its relationship with late capitalism. He earned his PhD from Yale with a thesis on Sartre and taught at universities such as Harvard, Yale, and Duke. His methodological approach combined Marxism, structuralism, and psychoanalysis, addressing issues like postmodernism and cultural production in the globalized era. In 2008, he received the prestigious Holberg Prize for his outstanding contribution to the study of the relationships between social formations and cultural forms.

Among his most notable works are Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism (1991), Theories of Postmodernity (1996), The Seeds of Time (2000), A Singular Modernity (2002), Archaeologies of the Future (2009), and The Realism and the Providential Novel (2006). The latter, published by the Circle of Fine Arts, examines narrative structures in Western literature, from Heliodorus to George Eliot, and suggests that happy endings are a literary rather than existential category. His work falls within the genre of critical essay and literary theory, and has left an indelible mark on contemporary cultural and literary studies.
