\u00c9tat et d\u00e9tails de cet exemplaire<\/h2>\n

Intellectuals occupy a paradoxical position in contemporary American culture as they struggle both to maintain their critical independence and to connect to the larger society. In Anxious Intellects<\/i> John Michael discusses how critics from the right and the left have conceived of the intellectual\u2019s role in a pluralized society, weighing intellectual authority against public democracy, universal against particularistic standards, and criticism against the respect of popular movements. Michael asserts that these Enlightenment-born issues, although not \u201cresolvable,\u201d are the very grounds from which real intellectual work must proceed.
\nAs part of his investigation of intellectuals\u2019 self-conceptions and their roles in society, Michael concentrates on several well-known contemporary African American intellectuals, including Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Cornel West. To illuminate public debates over pedagogy and the role of university, he turns to the work of Todd Gitlin, Michael B\u00e9rub\u00e9, and Allan Bloom. Stanley Fish\u2019s pragmatic tome, Doing What Comes Naturally<\/i>, along with a juxtaposition of Fredric Jameson and Samuel Huntington\u2019s work, proves fertile ground for Michael\u2019s argument that democratic politics without intellectuals is not possible. In the second half of Anxious Intellects<\/i>, Michael relies on three popular conceptions of the intellectual\u2014as critic, scientist, and professional\u2014to discuss the work of scholars Constance Penley, Henry Jenkins, the celebrated physicist Stephen Hawking, and others, insisting that ambivalence, anxiety, projection, identification, hybridity, and various forms of psychosocial complexity constitute the real meaning of Enlightenment intellectuality. As a new and refreshing contribution to the recently emergent culture and science wars, Michael\u2019s take on contemporary intellectuals and their place in society will enliven and redirect these ongoing debates.<\/p>\n

R\u00e9sum\u00e9 de Anxious Intellects Academic Professionals, Public Intellectuals, and Enlightenment Values<\/h2>\n

Ce livre examine la position paradoxale des intellectuels dans l'Am\u00e9rique contemporaine, partag\u00e9s entre ind\u00e9pendance critique et lien avec la soci\u00e9t\u00e9. John Michael y confronte les critiques de droite et de gauche sur le r\u00f4le de l'intellectuel dans une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 pluraliste : autorit\u00e9 intellectuelle face \u00e0 la d\u00e9mocratie, normes universelles face aux particularismes, critique face au respect des mouvements populaires. Selon l'auteur, ces questions h\u00e9rit\u00e9es des Lumi\u00e8res ne se r\u00e9solvent pas, mais forment le point de d\u00e9part de tout travail intellectuel r\u00e9el. L'ouvrage s'appuie sur des intellectuels afro-am\u00e9ricains comme Henry Louis Gates Jr. et Cornel West, sur les d\u00e9bats autour de l'universit\u00e9 avec Todd Gitlin, Michael B\u00e9rub\u00e9 et Allan Bloom, puis, dans sa seconde partie, sur la figure de l'intellectuel comme critique, scientifique et professionnel, \u00e0 travers Constance Penley, Henry Jenkins et Stephen Hawking.<\/p>\n
