Is there a place for intellectuals in the new radicalism?
Lawrence Grossberg
In recent essays, some notable left intellectuals (e.g., Latour, Ranciere, Hardt) have questioned the value of critique. They seem to suggest that political acts of insurrection and experimentation displace the necessity for both analyses that might discover what’s going on and various projects of education. Professor Grossberg does three things: first, to engage with the logics of this internecine war; second, to place it into a genealogy of 20th century, anti-capitalist intellectual formations; and third, to put forth cultural studies as a unique formation that offers a vision of countercultural, counter-hegemonic politics.
Lawrence Grossberg is Morris Davis Distinguished Professor of Communication and Cultural Studies & Director of the Programme in Cultural Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
All welcome: free and open to the public.
