Immensely saddened by Fredric Jameson’s passing, but genuinely moved by the flood of tributes I’m seeing. He once said he felt like he was one of the few Marxists left. But, in part thanks to his unceasing work, we are legion! May we prove equal to the task he helped set out.
We condemn in the strongest possible terms the Penn administration's decision to call in riot police early this morning to arrest students and faculty engaged in nonviolent antiwar protest on our campus [1/7]

Fredric Jameson "made an appearance at a University of Michigan literary conference several years ago conditional on the university also arranging for him to give a public address on Palestine, where he defended the right of self-determination with force and clarity."
Great to be presenting here at the “Aesthetics and/or Politics” symposium at the University of Campinas, and excited for upcoming papers by @ErickaBeckman1 @danieljhartley and more!
