Representations of the Intellectual

Representations of the Intellectual pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025

Edward Said is well known for speaking his mind on controversial issues. In this brief lecture series, he goes beyond speaking up for a cause or a social group to defend the act of speaking up itself. Hence the double significance of the title, Representations of the Intellectual: In representing an idea to the public, the intellectual also represents an image of what it means to be an intellectual. Positioning himself against the "expert" who provides "'objective' advice for pay" (to a government, corporation, or the media), Said articulates a vision of the intellectual "as exile and marginal, as amateur, and as the author of a language that tries to speak truth to power," by "bearing witness" to forgotten, ignored, or suppressed stories. Appreciating the postmodern anxieties that may arise from his bold claims about universal moral principles and the neat separation of truth from power, Said honestly confronts the problem of objectivity. He illustrates his idea of the intellectual with historical, literary, and personal examples, candidly confiding his heroes and villains, and revealing the beliefs and passions behind his own life's work.

In this series of essays, based on his 1993 Reith Lectures, Edward Said explores what it means to be an intellectual today. It is, he argues, the intellectual's role to represent a message or view not only to, but for, a public, and to do so as an outsider - someone who cannot be co-opted by a government or corporation. Interweaving literature, history and philosophy, Said describes and demonstrates how the intellectual must remain a dissenter, never putting solidarity before criticism, and speak from the margins for both the people and the issues which are routinely forgotten or ignored.

从萨义德的这本书里,我们可以看到他对知识分子的定义是独立于社会而又惊醒这个社会,从地域政治学派抽离出来的个人不受影响的发表作为人个人的观点而不是代表一个群体利益的观点,才是他眼中的知识分子,这样的抽离和西方传统思想的物质意识二分密切相关,我们中国讲...

文/简LEE 萨义德曾说:“在我的所有著作中,以对于(《知识分子论》)这本书的反应最为一致……人们说我触及了他们社会中的真实情境,即使我对那些社会一无所知。”而我对这本书的看重,也是因为它也触及了我们的“真实情境”。因此,我在这里想从“中国经验”出发,谈谈知识分...

Such a powerful account on the meaning and role of intellectual. Intellectuals are resistant, often marginalized, and pursue what is just and right that arises from their deepest convictions. This book is worth multiple readings, very incisive and thought provoking.
