The Political Unconscious: Narrative as a Socially Symbolic Act Paperback – 13 June 2002

Boring book. Had to buy it for my MA studies

Jameson has a conception of the phylosophy of the history related to the Hegel activity. That doesn't have something to do with the surrealism in France. Because Jameson is particularly a pragmatist as Pierce and James, that implies to follow the ideas of Kant very seriously. By contrary, a Fench surrealist is usually a pseudo-revolution sponsor a la Voltaire, wating to become an yuppie. Jameson writes in pag. 222 that "the position of Barthes and Nietzsche stressed the lucidity which with the contemporany writer live". A very good economist as Stiglitz could came in the exact terms for this condition.
