Fredric Jameson is renowned for his incisive analysis of postmodernism and its cultural implications. In his seminal work, “Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism,” Jameson argues that postmodern culture reflects not a break from, but a deep entanglement with, capitalist history. He suggests that the aesthetic practices of postmodernity—marked by pastiche and recycled styles—are symptomatic of a loss of historical depth and the erosion of utopian narratives. Jameson’s work challenges us to consider how cultural forms, far from being liberatory innovations, often serve to mask the persistent influence of capitalist structures and the ghosts of unfulfilled futures.
