JAMESON FREDRIC THE YEARS OF THEORY POSTWAR FRE...

Fredric Jameson introduces here the major themes of French theory: 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 philosophical debates of the
period come to life through anecdotes and extended readings of work by the likes of Sartre 
Beauvoir  Fanon  Barthes  Foucault  Althusser  Derrida  Deleuze  groups like Tel Quel and
Cahiers du Cinéma   and contemporary thinkers such as Rancière and Badiou. Eclectic  insightful
and inspired  Jameson’s seminars provide an essential account of an intellectual moment
comparable in significance to the Golden Age of Athens  historically fascinating and of
persistent relevance.
