Valences of the Dialectic Quotes

“Perhaps only the acknowledgement of this radical incommensurability between human existence and the dynamic of collective history and production is capable of generating new kinds of political attitudes; new kinds of political perception, as well as of political patience; and new methods for decoding the age as well, and reading the imperceptible tremors within it of an inconceivable future.”
― Fredric Jameson, Valences of the Dialectic

“But I do think we have an interest in at least provisionally separating this now familiar
postmodern debate from the matter of globalization, all the while under- standing only too well that the two issues are deeply intertwined and that positions on the postmodern are bound to make their way back in eventually.”
― Fredric Jameson, Valences of the Dialectic
