Verso, 1998. 206pp. ISBN 1-85984-182-1	2020	5	.pdf	application/pdf	1999	80	44	In Postmodernism and Consumer Society, originally published in 1982, Jameson sets out his analysis of the major tropes of postmodern culture -- the substitution of pastiche for the satirical impulse of parody; the predilection for nostalgia and the flight from history as embodied in new forms of populist architecture; and the closing off of alternatives to capitalism through a fixation on the perpetual present. In Jameson's view, moralistic dismissals of postmodernism are useless; much more important is the task of furnishing a theoretical understanding of 'the postmodern moment' within the totality of capitalist social, political and cultural relations.	cache/clogic-192629.pdf	txt/clogic-192629.txt
