Postmodernism, and Spatial Configurations in Jameson and Lefebvre

This article focuses on the relationship between Marxist sociology and postmodernist theory. The author explores this through Fredric Jameson's "Postmodernism, or the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism" and the spatial theory of Henri Lefebvre. She argues that Jameson's coined term and idea "culturally-dominant" is not as valid as Lefebvre's analysis of urban space, both pertaining to postmodernism. Topics include space and postmodernism, spatial systems of Jameson and Lefebvre, and the comparative method of analysis.
