The Public Intellectual and the Culture of Hope brings together a
number of winners of the Polanyi Prize in Literature - a group
whose research constitutes a diversity of methodological approaches
to the study of culture - to examine the rich but often troubled
association between the concepts of the public, the intellectual
(both the person and the condition), culture, and hope. The
contributors probe the influence of intellectual life on the public
sphere by reflecting on, analyzing, and re-imagining social and
cultural identity. The Public Intellectual and the Culture of Hope
reflects on the challenging and often vexed work of intellectualism
within the public sphere by exploring how cultural materials - from
foundational Enlightenment writings to contemporary, populist media
spectacles - frame intellectual debates within the clear and
ever-present gaze of the public writ large. These serve to
illuminate how past cultures can shed light on present and future
issues, as well as how current debates can reframe our approaches
to older subjects.
