A bold, dialectic engagement with Fredric Jameson’s thought
Fredric Jameson (1934–2024) is widely regarded as the most influential literary and cultural theorist of the past fifty years. The culmination of more than three decades of sustained engagement with Jameson’s work, Late Theory offers a critical response to his late writings, namely the final volumes of his “Poetics of Social Forms,” to develop an original and dialectical reading practice in conversation with his evolving thought.
Jameson’s final works bring renewed clarity to three foundational concerns that structure his intellectual legacy. These are the problem of periodization and the challenge of grasping the present as a historical category, the dangers posed by the rise of moralizing modes of critique in literary and cultural studies, and the radical interpretive potential unlocked by allegory and the semiotic method. Phillip E. Wegner shows how these late interventions mark not a conclusion but an extension of Jameson’s long-standing project: envisioning the dialectic as a living, collective form of reasoning—a “thought mode of the future” capable of transforming our lives.
At its core, Late Theory is a passionate argument for cultural and aesthetic education as a practice of solidarity and imagination. Foregrounding Jameson’s enduring effort to build heterogeneous communities of readers committed to shared inquiry, Wegner affirms the urgency of reading, teaching, and thinking together in a moment of crisis for the university and global culture.
