description This article aims to present a commentary on Fredric Jameson’s Marxism. The central objective is to offer an introductory overview of his work, in order to highlight both his main contributions and what specifies and singularizes his work as an effort to update the Marxist tradition, in particular, one of its specific lineages: Western Marxism. To this end, it is intended to rescue some constitutiveelements of Jameson’s theory (such as cultural criticism, the defense of dialectic, totality and utopia), as well as the particular way in which the author combines the Marxist perspective with other interpretative currents, something that many critics consider a recurring mark of current efforts to renew the Marxist tradition, especially after the so-called “crisis of Marxism”. With this, it is expected to contribute both to the understanding of Jameson’s thought, as well as to the characterization of the several Marxisms that were developed in the context of the end of the 20th century.

Este artigo visa apresentar um comentário sobre o marxismo de Fredric Jameson. O objetivo central é oferecer um panorama introdutório de sua obra, de forma a ressaltar tanto suas principais contribuições quanto aquilo que propriamente especifica e singulariza seu trabalho enquanto um esforço de atualização da tradição marxista, em especial, de uma de suas linhagens específicas: o marxismo ocidental. Para tanto, pretende-se resgatar alguns elementos constitutivos da teoria de Jameson (como a crítica cultural, a defesa da dialética, da totalidade e da utopia), bem como a forma particular com que o autor conjuga a perspectiva marxista com outras correntes interpretativas, algo que muitos críticos consideram uma marca recorrente dos esforços atuais de renovação da tradição marxista, sobretudo após a chamada “crise do marxismo”. Com isso, espera-se contribuir tanto para a compreensão do pensamento de Jameson, como para a caracterização dos marxismos que se desenvolveram no contexto do final do século XX.
