Umetnost in kultura v delih Fredrica Jamesona

In the first part of the article the author introduces Fredric Jameson as a central figure in contemporary theoretical thought and cultural debates within the Unites States, pointing out the relatively scarce critical attention he has received in Western Europe and some problematic aspects of his thought from the Third World viewpoint. In the second part Jameson's major works and intentions are presented, with the focus being on his writings on art and culture. In the third part Jameson's return to Hegel's philosophy is discussed, and its consequences for art, culture, philosophy and theory are presented. Finally, the critical role of art within postmodern society is examined, and the question of the »correct form of art« is raised.V prvem delu članka avtor predstavi Fredrica Jamesona kot osrednjo figuro sodobne teoretske misli in kulturnih razprav v ZDA, pri čemer izpostavi relativno majhno kritično pozornost, katere je bil deležen v zahodni Evropi ter nekatere problematične vidike njegove misli s stališča tretjega sveta. V drugem delu so predstavljena Jamesonova bistvena dela in njegove namere, s poudarkom na besedilih o umetnosti in kulturi. Tretji del uvaja razpravo o Jamesonovi vrnitvi k Heglovi filozofiji ter posledicah, ki jih ima le-ta za umetnost, kulturo, filozofijo in teorijo. Na koncu avtor obravnava še kritično vlogo umetnosti v postmodrni družbi in zastavlja vprašanje o »pravi obliki umetnosti«
