Terry Eagleton reflects on Jameson's humility, generosity, and unrivalled erudition. "He was without doubt the greatest cultural critic of his time."

Fredric Jameson died on September 22nd, aged 90. Few radical thinkers have had such a phenomenal impact on literary criticism, critical theory, and philosophy. To mark his 90th birthday, in April 2024, we published a series of short essays focused on the major books in Jameson's oeuvre

In case you have any Jameson gaps, Verso is having a sale through Wednesday. www.versobooks.com/blogs/news/f... @versobooks.bsky.social

Fredric Jameson passed one year ago today. Jameson contributed some of the most important Marxist cultural criticism of the twentieth century. To honor the great writer's life, we've discounted his titles and encourage everyone to read the works he produced in his 90 years.

It’s succinct but also far-reaching in scope, and could be an amazing resource for groups looking to get on the same page in terms of big-picture analysis.

After Paris, the IPCC justified the expansion of the fossil-fuel system by implicitly promising that we could "overshoot” 1.5C yet ultimately meet the target anyway. What does this mean? Read my deep dive into Andreas Malm & @wimcarton.bsky.social's *Overshoot* lareviewofbooks.org/article/the-...
