Correct option is D
The correct answer is multinational Introduction: In his seminal work
Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism (1991), Marxist theorist Fredric Jameson argues that cultural forms are deeply tied to specific stages of economic development.
Information Booster:
· Jameson famously posits a direct correlation: postmodernism is the "cultural dominant" of the economic stage he calls "late capitalism," which he specifically identifies with "multinational" or "consumer" capitalism.
· He outlines a historical sequence: Market capitalism (1840s-1890s) -> Monopoly capitalism/Imperialism (late 19th-mid 20th century) -> Multinational/Late capitalism (post-WWII to present).
· The fragmentation, pastiche, depthlessness, and hysterical sublime he identifies in postmodern art and architecture are, for him, the cultural expressions of this new, globalized, media-saturated economic order.
Additional Knowledge:
· Market capitalism is associated by Jameson with realism.
· Monopoly capitalism/Imperialism is associated with modernism.
· Imperialist is a term he uses within the second stage (monopoly capitalism), not the third, postmodern stage.
