This is a brilliant study of utopia and science fiction, from Thomas More to Philip K. Dick, by the master literary critic. "Archaeologies of the Future", Jameson's most substantial work since "Postmodernism", investigates the development of the Utopian form since Thomas More, and interrogates the functions of Utopian thinking in a post-Communist age. The relationship between utopia and science fiction is explored through the representations of otherness...alien life and alien worlds...and a study of the works of Philip K. Dick, Ursula LeGuin, William Gibson, Brian Aldiss, Kim Stanley Robinson and more.

大師註解大師之作
從駝背侏儒、遊蕩者、文學評論家到說故事的人
在每一字句轉折處，窺見班雅明的靈光哲思
班雅明無疑是20世紀最獨特、最豐富，也最難懂的思想哲人。他的創作力極為豐沛，一生留下大量評論、書信、未完成的研究計畫、遊記，以及許多難以歸類的文字。1950年代，阿多諾、鄂蘭將其中部分手稿編纂為文集，使班雅明聲名大噪。然而，仍有謎團遺留在他充滿隱喻、矛盾與實驗性的文字之中，他的身影則游移在文學、哲學與神學的邊界。人們著迷於他的著作，卻也往往迷失其中。
在這部巨作中，後現代大師詹明信以其畢生功力，嘗試引領我們更深入班雅明宏偉的思想迷宮。除了全面審讀班雅明的著作、書評、信件與雜文，也對班雅明同時代作家、思潮進行龐大的梳理考察，重建班雅明各種書寫、各種身分的歷史語境，最終凝聚為九個展現班雅明關鍵／多重概念的章節。書中搭配的示意圖，更清楚扼要地展示了詹明信對班雅明複雜思想的理解。喜好班雅明的讀者，必定不能錯過這本絕佳的指南。

Jameson's first full-length engagement with Walter Benjamin's work.
The Benjamin Files offers a comprehensive new reading of all of Benjamin's major works and a great number of his shorter book reviews, notes and letters. Its premise is that Benjamin was an anti-philosophical, anti-systematic thinker whose conceptual interests also felt the gravitational pull of his vocation as a writer. What resulted was a coexistence or variety of language fields and thematic codes which overlapped and often seemed to contradict each other: a view which will allow us to clarify the much-debated tension in his works between the mystical or theological side of Benjamin and his political or historical inclination.
The three-way tug of war over his heritage between adherents of his friends Scholem, Adorno and Brecht, can also be better grasped from this position, which gives the Brechtian standpoint more due than most influential academic studies. Benjamin's corpus is an anticipation of contemporary theory in the priority it gives language and representation over philosophical or conceptual unity; and its political motivations are clarified by attention to the omnipresence of History throughout his writing, from the shortest articles to the most ambitious projects. His explicit program – "to transfer the crisis into the heart of language" or, in other words, to detect class struggle at work in the most minute literary phenomena – requires the reader to translate the linguistic or representational literary issues that concerned him back into the omnipresent but often only implicitly political ones. But the latter are those of another era, to which we must gain access, to use one of Benjamin's favorite expressions.
