Intellectual Topographies and the Making of Citizenship

This book gathers together writings on the transformation of the
intellectual and the challenges posed by citizenship against the
backdrop of dismantling the Modernity project, the decline of Marxist
ideology and the contradictory and competing value-systems of our times;
it also includes several studies regarding the Portuguese and Spanish
intelligentsia, particularly in the context of dictatorial regimes and
as an inherited framework for more recent intellectual topographies. The
analysis they provide draws relevant implications for our understanding
of the changes in the conditionings, nature and meaning of the
intellectual's function.
