Frederic Jameson,as a marxist critic, influences the world deeply.In his diligently interpretational process of the literary theories, for instance,realism literature,modernism, and mass culture,we can see the utopian thought is ubiquitous.Through the literary works and cultural phenomena, he expects to find the battle between ideology and utopia. Previous scholars who take Jameson's utopia thought to research mostly stay on the theoretical level of interpretation, but lack the utopia text interpretation of the utopian text.The paper takes The archaeology of the future as the center, in an attempt to grasp Jameson's overall perspective of utopian, precisely,from the angel of its text construction theory in a comprehensive and in-depth research. Jameson carries on the interpretation of marxism narrative methods to have a analysis of the classic utopia text, as well as the characteristics of science fiction.Besides,he also tries to mine the ideological features what is hidden in utopia narrative. Jameson is not keen on historical analysis of utopia, but emphasizes the process of utopia building methods, themes, division and trouble.Therefore in such systematical discussion of the internal mechanism of utopia,it leaves an indelible mark on the research of the utopian thought.The article takes three parts of utopian development to demonstrate Jameson's utopian text construction theory progressively,respectively,spatiotemporal utopia;antagonism and division of utopia theme;construct methods and characteristics of utopia.Apart from looking deep into crus of the recession of utopia in the modern society. He also reiterates that the value of utopian imagines in today's society is to review and critique of social reality,which should be based on a strong sense of alienation of the world's imagination.Moreover,he prospects to rescue the people who are blind by ideology, urging them to regain utopia strength, and regain the imagination of ideal world.
