–  Fredric R. Jameson (1934–2024). Historical Materialism is deeply grieved by the passing of the Marxist intellectual giant, philosopher and cultural critic Fredric Jameson at the age of 90. Jameson’s work fundamentally reshaped our understanding of culture, politics and aesthetics, leaving behind an enduring legacy that has inspired generations of thinkers, activists and scholars.
