clogic-192190	González, Marcial	Jameson's "Arrested Dialectic": From Structuralism to Postmodernism	2019	10	.pdf	application/pdf	4681	206	48	If Harvey is correct in linking postmodernism to the most basic interests of capitalism-- namely, the eradication of social class as a primary category for social analysis and the discrediting of class struggle as a primary strategy for social change--and if he is correct also in concluding that identity politics and the new social movements function as postmodern ideological projects antagonistically opposed to working-class politics, then we can begin to understand with greater clarity the source of Jameson's claim that postmodernity is more propitious for the arrested dialectic than the contradiction, because the arrested dialectic replicates, in both form and content, the defeat of the political left that Eagleton describes in his hypothetical scenario, as well as the cancellation of the social contract between capital and labor theorized in the shift from Fordism to flexible accumulation. (For what is history if not the story of class contradictions--their formation, sharpening, and unraveling?)	cache/clogic-192190.pdf	txt/clogic-192190.txt
