The Years of Theory: Postwar French Thought to the Present by Fredric Jameson Pa

Description: The Years of Theory by Fredric Jameson, Carson Welch Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Magisterial lectures on the major figures of French theory from Americas leading Marxist critic Publisher Description Fredric Jamesons The Years of Theory introduces the major themes of French theory, including existentialism, structuralism, poststructuralism, semiotics, feminism, psychoanalysis, and Marxism. In a series of accessible lectures, Jameson places this effervescent period of thought in the context of its most significant political conjunctures, including the Liberation of Paris, the Algerian War, the uprisings of May 68, and the creation of the EU. The contentious philosophical debates of the period come to life as much through anecdotes as through extended readings of work by their participants, including Sartre, Beauvoir, Fanon, Barthes, Foucault, Althusser, Derrida, Deleuze, groups like Tel Quel and Cahiers du Cinéma, and contemporary thinkers like Rancière and Badiou. Drawing on a wide range of references and thinkers, Jamesons seminar provides an essential account of an intellectual moment whose significance is compared to that of ancient Athenian philosophy, both situating it historically and revitalizing its central concerns for the present.
