Features: "Dialogue with Contemporary Masters" is not a product born out of opportunism or superficial learning, but rather the result of deep reflection and thoughtful effort by middle-aged and young scholars who are dedicated to reviving academic endeavors. Every editor, author, planner, and writer involved in this series will discover its following characteristics: First, selecting academic masters for dialogue from the perspective of communication studies. Second, emphasizing direct dialogue with Western academic masters. Third, making valuable attempts in comparative studies of Chinese and Western cultures. Fourth, deepening the awareness of problems. This book is a study of the American postmodern literary school, taking the theory of Jameson, a prominent figure in the contemporary American cultural school, as its object of discussion. It analyzes the theoretical framework of his "postmodern culture" and explores the conflicts and interpretive paradoxes between "totality" and "postmodernism" within his theoretical system.
