Sound bites from "The Poetics of the Dialectic"

Some (approximate) quotes from Dr. Jameson's lecture and Q&A:

...at the intersection of multiple temporalities, time can appear [be 'represented']...

Marxist time/history invites "side-taking."

The Odyssey expresses "the defeat of exile" and "the secret language of the defeated."

through role reversals, mistaken identities, etc, the slave appears and can only be represented in epic through such acts of "unmasking" [anagnorisis]

...pathos is a spectacle to divert attention form the true suffering of slavery (the forced labor of exploitation) and the abundance it produces.

"Ethics are not politics, and traditional humanist values are not a political answer..."

if anyone has more accurate versions of the paraphrases, please correct me in the comments section.
