Abstract :This study aims to highlight the elements of Fredric Jameson’s analysis of postmodernism that remain relevant today. Although the term and periodization of postmodernism may seem to have lost popularity in contemporary theory, many theorists agree that capitalism has undergone a radical transformation since the 1970s. With this final stage of capitalism, the cultural and economic spheres have overlapped, and every aspect of daily life has become commodified more than ever before. In this article, after explaining Jameson’s concept of postmodernism as a historical condition and a mode of production-subjectivity, I argue that the theory remains valid in all three areas that constitute the triptych under the headings of a. the waning of affect, b. immediacy, c. new depthlessness, and d. pastiche and nostalgia. Ultimately, I contend that the decline of postmodernism should be interpreted as a sign of its complete realization.Keywords : Fredric Jameson, postmodernizm, dolayımsızlık, duygulanımın sönümlenmesi, pastiş
