Summary: Not About Dreams!
Comment: This book is not about dreams, so if you want to know about dreams, you should get "The Dream Book" instead. I don't understand this book.
Rating: 3
Summary: Radical Vision, Utopian Prospective
Comment: Jameson's groundbreaking literary criticism and sociological analysis underscore the release of the sublimated repressed desires in realist representation (realism) and orientates itself toward a relax of political unconscious.It mediates the symbolic narrative and its mirrored ideological interpellations. As a Marxist, he foresees the fuse of the super/infrastructure and a utopian sense of humanism that isolates from alienation and reification.
Rating: 5
Summary: Tour de force literary criticism
Comment: I read "The Political Unconscious" in college and was quite dazzled with it at the time. The book is quite difficult, and I approached it after reading another work of Marxist criticism, Terry Eagleton's "Literary Theory: An Introduction," which contains a footnoted reference to Jameson. The key thing about Jameson's book is that he forgoes a formalistic close-reading approach to works of narrative literature in favor of a historicist, totalizing vision. After I read the book, I recommended it to a graduate student in philosophy, who found it a brilliant synthesis, but no more. It is true that Jameson isn't a philosophical pathbreaker, but the fact that he has read and can convincingly use the work of German Hegelian Marxists like Theodor Adorno and especially George Lukacs is quite amazing. And his readings of authors like Gissing, Hofmannsthal, and Conrad are nothing if not supple. If "Marxist criticism" seems to you the recipe for disaster (or ignorance), this entrancing book is definitely the corrective for you!
