Review: Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism

User Review  - Lysergius - Goodreads

I am still not sure if this is a genuine phenomenon or some sort of late 20th century pastiche. Jameson's thesis is convincing, as convincing as anything can be once you have discarded all the props and structures which made Modernism a viable world view. Still worth reading. Read full review

User Review  - AC - Goodreads

I agree with the reviewer who said: simply read the first essay ("Culture"; which is a slightly edited version of a famous paper published in 1984), and leave it at that. There are some marvelous ... Read full review
