商品簡介
Jameson's The political unconscious; narrative as a socially symbolic act, published in 1981, had wide influence among theorists of art history. This collection of essays engages with Jameson's ideas in terms of architecture, pulling in the substantial theoretical literature that has appeared in the last three decades. Among the essay topics are applying the psychoanalytic term "setting" to the study of architecture, a comparison of Henri Lefebvre's notion of production of space with Manfredo Tafuri's ideas about architecture and utopia in light of Jameson, the notion of class struggle in architecture, and a critique of the use of Jameson in architectural criticism. The volume is graced by a number of prominent theorists, including Slavoj Zizek and Jane Rendell. Annotation c2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
