Historizovat metahistorii – dialektický kriticismus Fredrica Jamesona
Historicising Metahistory – The Dialectical Criticism of Fredric Jameson

Summary/Abstract: Addressing various aspects of the work of Fredric Jameson, this article is an inquiry into the methodology that sustains Jameson’s Marxist approach. Neither nomadically eclectic about his methods or objects of study, nor an orthodox Marxist, Jameson calls for the kind of historicising stance that would relate cultural phenomena to the socio-economic realm and yet avoid metahistorical tendencies. Applying his method perhaps most notably to the phenomenon of postmodernism, Jameson unmasks the logic which governs this seemingly unrestrained cultural trend. As Jameson tries to show in his analyses of contemporary culture, dialectical criticism is particularly indispensable to understanding the logic of late capitalism that determines our society.
