How might we reinvent the humanities? This is the question at the
heart of this provocative volume. It is a difficult mission and
definitely one which needs to be addressed with increasing urgency.
There is no better cast to confront and problematize this question
than the contributors to Conflicting Humanities. They are
world-renowned thinkers who can tackle the problem as researchers
and teachers but also as prominent public intellectuals. Taking the
intellectual and political legacies of Edward Said as a point of
departure and frame of reference, the contributors - working in a
range of disciplinary settings - consider the current condition of
humanism and the humanities. Said's definition of the core task of
the Humanities as the pursuit of democratic criticism remains more
urgent than ever, though it needs to be supplemented by gender,
environmental, and anti-racist perspectives as well as by detailed
analysis of the necro-political governmentality of our time. An
innovative piece of scholarship, this volume is committed to the
refusal of a world riven by new kinds of warcraft, injustice and
exploitation.
