Mimesis, Expression, Construction is a groundbreaking publication that presents the original and unedited version of Fredric Jameson's renowned Duke University seminar on Adorno's Aesthetic Theory. This seminar, which took place in 2003, has now been brought to print for the first time, offering a unique insight into Jameson's thought process and pedagogical practice.
Comprised of twenty-one seminar transcripts, this volume allows readers to engage with Jameson as he interacts with his students, delving into the intricacies of Adorno's influential theory of modern art. The transcripts are transcribed directly from audio recordings made by the editor, preserving the original tone and flow of Jameson's lectures. Presented in a play-like format with closed captioning and stage directions, Mimesis, Expression, Construction offers a fresh and dynamic approach to understanding Jameson's ideas.
What sets this volume apart is its commitment to preserving the raw and unpolished nature of Jameson's thought. Unlike later gentrified published versions, which may have undergone editorial adjustments, this book offers a direct and unfiltered glimpse into Jameson's mind. The detours through secondary topics, while sometimes distracting, are often more precious than the main line of argumentation, as they reveal the depth and complexity of Jameson's intellectual journey.
In conclusion, Mimesis, Expression, Construction is a must-read for anyone interested in contemporary philosophy, aesthetics, and the works of Fredric Jameson. It provides a unique and invaluable perspective on one of the greatest living philosophers, offering a glimpse into his thought process and pedagogical practice like never before.
