In a decidedly anti-intellectual moment, exemplified by such recent
phenomena as denials of science, defunding of universities, and
distrust of "facts," Intra-Public Intellectualism examines the
relationships among qualitative inquiry, truth telling and social
activism. With contributions from scholars and activists around the
world, the book addresses three key tensions in the field of social
inquiry. The first tension concerns the proliferation of digital
environments and virtual spaces, exploring how the "public" in
public intellectualism might be reconsidered. The second tension
concerns the ongoing critiques of truth and subjectivity, exploring
how these disruptions change the work of the intellectual. The
third tension concerns the growing scientific and philosophical
rejection of static material worlds, exploring what becomes of
social responsibility and justice when agency extends beyond human
subjects. Intra-Public Intellectualism will be a must read for
those interested in the roles of the intellectual in the academy
and beyond and those keen on rethinking critical social inquiry for
the twenty-first century.
