Archaeologies of the Future: The Desire Called Utopia and Other Science Fictions by Fredric Jameson
4.0
Finished the sections of this work that I really wanted to read for now, but I am certainly not done with it and will return to this A LOT. What a great contribution to the secondary literature supporting my PhD research!
I disagreed with Jameson on some minor points (which is totally ok) and would've liked him to elaborate on certain issues more. However... Maybe not. That leaves room for me to do so!
4/5 stars because what always confuses me is why cultural theorists feel the need to explain things in a style that is harder to read than necessary - unfortunately, Jameson is no exception. Also, I didn't like the fact that he almost entirely left out gender and race issues - which both almost scream to be part of a project such as Jameson's.
I found Kyle A. Wiggin's review Futures of Negation: Jameson's Archaeologies of the Future and Utopian Science Fiction very helpful
