Description: Fredric Jameson introduces here the major themes of French theory: existentialism structuralism poststructuralism semiotics feminism psychoanalysis and Marxism. In a series of accessible lectures Jameson places this effervescent period of thought in the context of its most significant political conjunctures including the Liberation of Paris the Algerian War the uprisings of May 68, and the creation of the EU. The philosophical debates of the period come to life through anecdotes and extended readings of work by the likes of Sartre Beauvoir Fanon Barthes Foucault Althusser Derrida Deleuze groups like Tel Quel and Cahiers du Cin ma and contemporary thinkers such as Ranci re and Badiou. Eclectic insightful and inspired Jameson's seminars provide an essential account of an intellectual moment comparable in significance to the Golden Age of Athens historically fascinating and of persistent relevance.
