Within Frederick Jameson's "The Political Unconscious," how is the narrative as a socially symbolic act understood in terms of its relationship with history?
1
As an expression of individual artistic genius, largely detached from its historical context.
2
As a medium through which historical narratives are preserved unchanged for future generations.
3
As an inevitable reflection of the economic and class struggles endemic to the society from which it arises.
4
As a purely linguistic construct, whose connection to social structures is coincidental at best.
