By pondering the conceptual elements that inform the term, this book offers not just a political critique, but a sense of the new challenges its meanings present. This collection complicates the notion of public intellectual while arguing for its continued urgency in communities formal and informal, institutional and abstract. While it is not quite accurate to say public intellectuals have disappeared entirely, it is clear they function differently in an age of global neoliberalism and techno-digital overdrive. Today the idea of the public intellectual bears only the slightest resemblance to what it was fifty or even twenty-five years ago. The essays in this collection provide a number of different ways to imagine the fate of public intellectuals and offers a thorough exploration of the commonplace ideologies and politics associated with them.Literature, Modern20th centuryLiterature, Modern21st centuryPolitical scienceEducationPhilosophyContemporary LiteraturePolitical TheoryPhilosophy of EducationLiterature, ModernLiterature, ModernPolitical science.EducationPhilosophy.Contemporary Literature.Political Theory.Philosophy of Education.001.1Di Leo Jeffrey Redthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtHitchcock Peteredthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910255231203321The New Public Intellectual2499974UNINA
