This book sees international academics from across five continents come together to critique the role of the present-day intellectual.

Arguing that the elitization of the social sciences and humanities has reached a major climax in the 21st century, owing to the commercialisation of knowledge and the advent of the capitalist model, it asks how intellectuals can free themselves of the ideological labyrinth in which they now find themselves, and reshape the contributions of the social sciences and humanities as adequate tools for the needs of our time. The international academy has the aim and the responsibility to look at, criticise, and work against the dominant logic and to allow knowledge and international debates to reach the farthest corners of the globe. Intellectuals from different areas of the social sciences and humanities offer unique insights along this theme to offer critical analysis and reflection on our current situation, asking: what are now the duties and responsibility of intellectuals?

Bringing together relevant and influential voices from diverse perspectives, it will appeal to scholars, intellectuals, and postgraduate students with interests in social and political theory, social and political philosophy, epistemology, social class, neoliberalism, and academia.

Arvustused

It is impossible to overstate the significance of this collection of essays, which assembles an impressive array of intellectuals to reflect on the current status and responsibilities of the social sciences and humanities. A truly monumental achievement.

Alenka Zupani, Philosopher, Slovenia.

For some time now, since the crisis of the neoliberal system in 2008, we have been facing various episodes including the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the hot period following the outbreak of the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza not to mention the importance of the irruption of AI in the midst of the Trump phase of US domination. Faced with these events, humanity feels the need to take a reflective pause to find schemes by which to reorient itself. This reflective halt must meet two conditions: To be radical and to be cooperative, and thus capable of involving the worlds intelligentsia. Nicol A. Barria-Asenjo fulfils these conditions with this book and it will therefore be indispensable as a starting point for thinking about the future.

José Luis Villacañas, Emeritus Professor of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain.

This remarkable collection is at once a map and a compass. Its authors represent multiple locations, generations, languages and critical traditions. With a powerful organizing voice from Chile, Prof. Barria-Asenjo generates a new geography of intellectual exchange and debate, which also offers a new territory of dialogue across disciplines from philosophy to critical theory, and from politics to psychoanalysis. Bringing together authors who refuse to accept their historical limits and contexts, this volume offers an unflinching claim on a variety of unclaimed and unsafe political futures.

Arjun Appadurai, Emeritus Professor in Media, Culture and Communication, New York University, USA

In times of uncertainty, the Universidad de Los Lagos, from the south of the world, takes on the challenge of being a space where critical voices from the five continents converge to rethink the present and project possible futures. This book demonstrates that critical thinking and international collaboration are powerful tools to open horizons of justice, dignity, and emancipation amid the tensions of the 21st century. Intellectual work, understood as an act of responsibility and commitment, is not the heritage of an elite: it is nourished by plurality, dialogue, and difference. Bringing together thinkers of diverse trajectories constitutes a resistance against the elitization of knowledge and, at the same time, an invitation to reflect on the issues of our time.

Oscar Garrido, University Chancellor, Universidad de Los Lagos, Chile.
