Jameson's concern is that the multinational, or the more telling term
"late capitalism," is now laying siege to the last three enclaves of
human identity: The Third World, the Unconscious, and the Aesthetic. To
say that the location of say space.23, a dominant freedom offered by
the postmodern theory supplying late capitalism's drive, will be able to
resist this geopolitical commodity once known as "a life" remains
wishful thinking. "Beware," is word of final critique. For, though
Marxist critique was theoretically correct, it offered neither
prophylactic nor escape. Truth is, I fear that we could all be
seriously fucked, ie, like globally brain dead very soon dudettes (so
few people, even now, are able to be aware of this).
When the vision is commercial, the image is alienated, impersonal, A
death. The Dark Age is now beginning, double time has lost most
meaning...the taste for space has gone flat. Beware, you seem to have
become your wares, as meaning goes to the grave...to escape.
