Ah, Jameson. As much as I love the guy for kickstarting Left theory in the US (me and many of my fellow rads wouldn't have read Adorno and Sartre otherwise), sometimes you just want to whack him upside his White Boy head. His column on globalization in the Used Left Review put me to sleep faster than sodium pentathol. In contrast, Bourdieu continues to put the hammer down on the neolibs. Why is it the radical profs are always from France? Is there something in the water supply? Can they bottle it or something?
