mollusque commented on the word pseudopanic
The final aim of Jameson's project is to offer a theory of the fractured nature of postmodern or technological subject in terms of an equally disfigured and dehumanized multinational capitalism. For this reason "older theories of the sublime" are dragged out in an act of pseudopanic to explain the subject "blissed out before feats of postmodern commodification".
