- <p><span>In this article we analyse Francis Fukuyama’s theory of the end of history and we oppose it to Fredric Jameson’s theory of the end of geography. According to Fukuyama, the fall of the Soviet Union starts the end of history, meaning that liberalism has proven to be the «unsurpassable horizon of our times» (to say it with Jean-Paul Sartre’s famous </span><span>dictum</span><span>). This thesis was misred by Jean Baudrillard as if Fukuyama were saying that, from 1991 on, history had entered inton an «event strike». Agains this misreading, in this article we argue in favor of Jameson’s theory of the end of geography.</span> </p>
