Synopsis "Los Antiguos y los Posmodernos (in Spanish)"

Si, como muchos ahora parecen sostener, todo cambió a comienzos de la década de 1980, no debería resultar sorprendente que otro tanto haya ocurrido con nuestra visión del pasado más inmediato. La historia reciente aquella en la que hunde sus raíces el mundo contemporáneo ya no es el siglo XIX, sino el modernismo del XX. En consonancia, nuestro nuevo clasicismo ya no arranca del mundo antiguo, sino que se ha desplazado en el tiempo hacia adelante, hasta el Renacimiento y más allá, periodos cuyas obras de arte se conciben ahora en distinta relación con el presente. En este innovador libro, el renombrado teórico y crítico Fredric Jameson muestra cómo esta perspectiva reactualizada altera la recepción crítica de Rubens, Wagner o Mahler. Esta renovada lectura se plantea asimismo para otras artes, singularmente el cine, objeto de un análisis más apegado a la literatura. Tentativas y prospecciones sobre las tendencias.

Fredric Jameson (1934–2024) was an influential American literary critic and Marxist theorist, known for his analysis of contemporary culture and its relationship with late capitalism. He earned his PhD from Yale with a thesis on Sartre and taught at universities such as Harvard, Yale, and Duke. His methodological approach combined Marxism, structuralism, and psychoanalysis, addressing issues like postmodernism and cultural production in the globalized era. In 2008, he received the prestigious Holberg Prize for his outstanding contribution to the study of the relationships between social formations and cultural forms.

Among his most notable works are Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism (1991), Theories of Postmodernity (1996), The Seeds of Time (2000), A Singular Modernity (2002), Archaeologies of the Future (2009), and The Realism and the Providential Novel (2006). The latter, published by the Circle of Fine Arts, examines narrative structures in Western literature, from Heliodorus to George Eliot, and suggests that happy endings are a literary rather than existential category. His work falls within the genre of critical essay and literary theory, and has left an indelible mark on contemporary cultural and literary studies.
