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.

在书店看到这本书的时候，并无意要买，因为自己对西方理论的淡漠。翻翻封三的介绍：“萨义德尖锐地指出，在当今媒体发达、政治与学术利益交融的时代，所谓的知识分子已经是一种特殊专业，集编辑、记者、政客及学术中间人于一身。他们身不由己，往往成为各种权力结构中的一员。...

评分长久以来，乔姆斯基与萨义德并称为美国最有名的公共知识分子,"那个国家的良心"。他们坚持己见，不局限于自己的专业学术，而是以文化批评为手段，积极参与公众议题的讨论，向权威发出挑战，为周围的不公而抗争。萨义德在自己的那本《知识分子论》里说得很清楚:知识分子的代表—...

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.
