In Ulysses, the Latin name for the Greek Odysseus, the modern epic hero Leopold Bloom takes his journey on the labyrinthic city of Dublin, meets his archetypical son Stephen, experience adventures and come back home to the arms of his unfaithful wife, Molly Bloom, the modern Penelope (Odysseus's faithful wife).

	In his book Postmodernism, or the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism, Jameson (2001) says that "we can no longer represent the historical past; but can only 'represent' our ideas and stereotypes about the past." Which idea does he want to convey? 
		
	
	He defends that the past cannot be represented, only the present.
	
	Jameson explains that as the past is not accessible, it is not possible to represent it.
	
	Jameson argues that the idea of representation is associated with the truth.
	
	He states that, usually, people represent the past in a prejudiced way.
	 
	He claims that there are different views of reality, all of them possible and true.
	Respondido em 26/05/2022 09:38:08
	
	Explicação:
Right answer: He claims that there are different views of reality, all of them possible and true.
Feedback: Denying an objective truth or reality, Postmodernism poses the anti-essentialist argument that everything is ideologically constructed. This constructivist idea leads to relativism. Our identities are constructed and transformed every moment in relation to our social environment. Thus, there is room for multiple and diverse identities, multiple truths, and views of reality. The issue here is not the non-accessibility of the past, or the way it is represented, in a prejudiced way, or associated with the truth, but the realization that there are different truths, dependent on different views of it.
