In a series of lectures for graduate and visiting students at Duke University in the spring of 2021, American philosopher and critic Fredric Jameson (1934–2024) explores major stages of French theory—existentialism, structuralism, poststructuralism, semiotics, feminism, psychoanalysis, and Marxism—by situating this turbulent period of thought within the context of significant European political events: the liberation of Paris, the Algerian War, the May 1968 uprisings, and the creation of the EU. Jameson brings the philosophical debates of this period to life, drawing on the works and lives of Sartre, Beauvoir, Fanon, Barthes, Foucault, Althusser, Derrida, Deleuze, the Tel Quel and Cahiers du Cinéma groups, and thinkers such as Rancière and Badiou, offering his perspective on one of the most important moments in intellectual history.
