Prepared by Işık Barış Fidaner • Fredric Jameson, a towering figure in cultural theory, has passed away, leaving behind a comprehensive body of work that helps us understand the contradictions of late capitalism. His famous quote, It is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism, highlights the structural limitations of our reality. In his vision of a utopian society presented in American Utopia, he explores two key institutions: the Universal Army and the Psychoanalytical Placement Office (PPB). These institutions reflect Lacanian discourses, organizing society while confronting the inherent failures of authority. Jameson understood that the end of capitalism would require a fundamental restructuring of desire, positioning him as a psychoanalytical utopian thinker rather than a naive idealist. His death prompts a reflection on the challenges ahead in navigating our collective desires as we face the complexities of a post-capitalist future. • https://zizekanalysis.wordpress.com/2... • This is part of Numerical Discourses: • Numerical Discourses
