IV and cultural assimilation

[alice wellintown]

The cultures of globalization By Fredric Jameson is available Online.

A Review:   http://www.brynmawr.edu/bmrcl/rev11jameson.html

Self-reflexive, the academic contributors portray the anxieties of
intellectuals in an age where the tools of their trade --
communication and information -- have become the means of consumer
capitalism. Theirs are anxieties of power, aware of academic
contributions to political domination, and of powerlessness, fraught
with concern about the eroding prestige of university and scholarly
work. The desire to break out of this paradox appears most forcefully
in the essays of Jameson and Kapur, who long in different ways for the
modernist conviction that intellectual and artistic insight will spark
popular revolution. Some readers might not share this particular
longing.
