Summary: Between perpectivalist situation and global-capital mandate
Comment: Jameson forges a backing-and-filling book that gives his own 'congnitive mapping' of postmodernity and cultural capitalist glut a new dimensionality and openness worthy of a vigilant, innovative, and necessary world critic, which Jameson has been all along. A version of critical sublimity, building a post Marxist US system "lest we be enslaved by another system," namely the Bush 2 war machine and its media somnambulists and new historical evaders. Not exactly beach reading in Irvine, A Singular Modernity gives modernity/postmodernity a capacious new figuration somewhere between the greed of Fashion Island and the innovative ethos of Venice Beach, but spreading outward and less in a mood to "take dominion everywhere" than to be a Jamesonian vase, customized and made for global/local planetary road use.
