Los estudios culturales

Resumen del libro

En un ensayo breve que destaca por su fluidez y su lenguaje ameno, Fredric Jameson pasa revista a una serie de investigadores que elucubran diversos desarrollos alrededor del concepto de "cultura" y "estudios culturales". Anclado desde una perspectiva pos-marxista y posmoderna, Jameson desarma esas ideas y define el concepto de "Estudios Culturales" desde su postura, con rechazo a quienes, para sus propios beneficios, subsidios y becas, enmarcan sus trabajos dentro de esa categoría, aunque sea forzadamente.
