 AntiEssays.com : : Frederick James - The Limites of Post Modern Theory
This paradoxicality is what Jameson now identifies as the antinomies of postmodernity, the aporia or theoretical impasses which mesmerise postmodern theory and unlike the older (modernist) discourse of dialectical contradiction remain unresolvable at a higher level of abstraction.
Jameson's initial intervention in the postmodern debate, in a 1982 essay `The Politics of Theory',2 was primarily an attempt to map the ideological landscape of postmodernism, however, the article concluded on a characteristic Jamesonian note, insisting on `the need to grasp the present as history'.
Jameson's notion of cognitive mapping is founded upon a dialect of perception but it lacks any real sense of the physical and spatial practice that would follow from it.

 Jameson
All ideologies, to Jameson, are "strategies of containment" through which society provides an explanation of itself and suppresses the underlying contradictions of History.
As Jameson points out, "ideologies can...never be evaluated independently of their function in a given historical situation." The totality of life that realism presents through its interlocking structure, therefore, is not to be critiqued single-mindedly as some metafictionists do.
Although Jameson is right in adding a third term, postmodernism, to the Modernism/Realism debate, the correspondence he works out between classical capitalism, monopoly capitalism and a "multinational" capitalism on the one hand and realism, modernism and postmodernism on the other hand is to me too simplifying.

 Libretto: Wagner's Ring   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The common complaint is that it is outdated and incomprehensible; yet the old-fashioned style which Jameson adopts is in conscious imitation of Wagner's equally old-fashioned German.
Most of the criticism against Jameson's text -- that it sounds artificial and is hard to understand -- could just as easily be (and indeed is) leveled against Wagner's original text in German.
Jameson's English no more incomprehensible than Shakespeare's, and few readers of Shakespeare insist that his writing be modernized.

 Yale Daily News - Taiwanese film comes alive at WHC
Frederick Jameson arrived on campus, and with him he brought the question, "Is a National Cinema Possible?" At first this may seem paradoxical, since the conference itself was founded on the notion that, yes, nations do produce cinemas and that, yes, nation can be studied through their cinema.
Yet Jameson's question was not meant to confuse, but rather to set the groundwork for the discourse that was to follow.
Chen's films seem to respond to Jameson by saying that, yes, the influence of greater, hegemonic cultural forces are felt in the East.

 Genealogy of the Lupo Family: North Carolina
That John identified Jameson, Frederick and Juda Watson as his grandchildren suggests their mother married the Watson who fathered James and Jameson, but no record has been found to identify which of John's daughters this might have been.
Jameson (spelled Jimmerson) and Frederick Watson can be found on the census in Irwin County in 1860.
It is possible that their parents married between Jameson's birth and Fredericks and that their mother died a few years later and that it was her death which prompted the gift from John.

 Globalization, Culture, and Power: An International Symposium
Other speakers included three professors from Duke University in the United States: Frederick Jameson, professor of comparative literature and romance studies and a self-styled American intellectual; Susan Willis, associate professor of English, and Michael Hardt, associate professor of literature and romance studies.
Her presentation, also emphasizing the ills of free-market capitalism, was rendered eerily mesmerizing by her soft spoken insistence on "the massive," "relentless uncertainty" created in "the gun crazy USA" by the sniper attacks in northern Virginia in October of last year.
Michael Hardt suggested hope, similar to Jameson's new left and Makdisi's "fourth world," in the invention of "a new democracy, a democracy of the multitude for the global world." Heading picture: Prof.

The police arrive surrounding the place and at the very moment that Spider-Man thinks that this means Jameson is definitely the Big Man, he and the readers are shocked to learn that the police are after Frederick Foswell instead.
Jameson on the other hand is very embarrassed about the events and goes into detail as to why he hates Spider-Man, and this is probably the reason why even to this day, he despises him.
Frederick himself would go on to play a supporting cast role for awhile until he died in Amazing Spider-Man #52 giving his life to save J. Jonah Jameson.

It was but a small step from this to the view that society should be conceived of as a text, whose meaning is best recovered by exploring the web of linguistic conventions within which social agents operate as collective authors.
We are locked within a prison-house of language, as Frederick Jameson colorfully put it, the implication being that it is better to try to understand linguistic reality from the inside than to indulge vain fantasies of escape.
Different theorists had different views of how such understanding is best achieved, but they all agreed that the point of the exercise is to elucidate social meanings by exploring the linguistic conventions--the language games, as Wittgenstein had it--within which people inevitably operate.
