Representations of the Intellectual: The 1993 Reith LecturesBased on his 1993 Reith Lectures, Said's essays explore what it means to be an intellectual today. He argues that the intellectual's role is to represent a message or view not only to, but for, a public, and to do so as an outsider - someone who cannot be co-opted by a government or corporation. |
