Representations of the Intellectual:The 1993 Reith Lectures by Edwardw Said
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.
Edward W. Said is University Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University. He is a prolific writer on a wide range of topics including literature, music, cultural criticism and Palestinian issues. He is the author of Beginnings: Intention and Method; Orientalism; The Question of Palestine; The World, the Text, and the Critic; After the Last Sky: Palestinian Lives; Musical Elaborations; Culture and Imperialism and The Politics of Disposession.
