Fredric Jameson:: a dialética após o “fim da história”

The Marxism is defined by the conceptual centrality of history as an explicative form and object in analysis, what conducts to the perpetual necessity of actualization of its elaborations self-criticism and incorporation of new problematic points according to the real movement. The periodization about the “postmodernism” as a correlate of a new “spatial era” seems in accord with such tradition. However, they bring doubts about the possibility of sustaining its dialectical character. Fredric Jameson is one of the great responsible people by the appropriation of such concepts in the area of the dialectic thought, because, when correlating the contemporary aesthetic process with the new capitalist phase, formulated the first and more influent Marxist reading about the cultural effects of globalization. His reflection about the possibility of making “time and history appear” in such context elucidates the merits and limits of such discussion, because the author aims to establish the relation between crisis and critics and the emergence of the possible “spatial dialectic” in the postmodernity.
