Athens, Ga. – One of the most influential intellectual figures in North America, Fredric Jameson, William A. Lane Professor of Comparative Literature and Romance Studies at Duke University, will give a talk in the UGA Chapel on February 22 at 4 p.m., under the auspices of the UGA English Department's Lanier Speakers Series. Jameson is credited for instigating a debate about postmodernism in the 1980s, framing the terms by which most cultural critics discuss this complex historical idea.
Publishing widely in the subjects of film, architecture, art, philosophy and literary theory, literary criticism, and science fiction, Jameson has had a global impact. His books have been translated into all the major European and Asian languages.
Jameson's Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism (1991) in its twelfth printing, is a powerful synthesis of theoretical positions and remains the standard work in the field. Of Jameson's nearly twenty other books, among the most significant are The Political Unconscious (1981), The Prison-House of Language (1972), and Marxism and Form (1971). More recent titles include The Seeds of Time (1994) and A Singular Modernity (2002). A new book, Archaeologies of the Future, explores the relationship between utopia and science fiction, including works by Philip K. Dick, Ursula LeGuin, William Gibson, Brian Aldiss and Kim Stanley Robinson.
Jameson received his Ph.D. from Yale in 1959 and taught at Harvard, Yale, and the University of California, Santa Cruz, before joining Duke in 1985. His research interests include nineteenth- and twentieth-century French literature, modernism, Marxist literary theory, and postmodern culture and theory.
Andrew Cole, professor in the UGA English Department and former student of Jameson, says of his mentor, “He is a generous and magnetic teacher, always lecturing before a capacity crowd at Duke.”
Jed Rasula, Helen S. Lanier Distinguished Professor of English at UGA, adds, "It is an honor to welcome Fredric Jameson to UGA. This is a unique opportunity for the university community to experience first-hand one of the most audacious and necessary thinkers of our day."
Jameson's lecture is free and open to the public, as is the reception in Moore College immediately following the talk.
