En 'Representaciones del intelectual', Edward W. Said analiza la importancia de la visión ética y la lucha contra la arbitrariedad del poder por parte de los intelectuales. Said parte de la idea clásica del intelectual como un perturbador del 'status quo', un desmitificador obligado a la soledad del juicio ante la manipulación de los medios de comunicación. En este libro, Said defiende la independencia de criterio como la principal misión del intelectual, una postura que a menudo conduce al marginamiento o al exilio. Este libro es una recopilación de seis conferencias magistrales del ciclo Reith, que inició Bertrand Russell en 1948.
Edward Wadie Said was a Palestinian and American academic, literary critic, and political activist. As a professor of literature at Columbia University, he was among the founders of post-colonial studies. As a cultural critic, Said is best known for his book Orientalism (1978), a foundational text which critiques the cultural representations that are the bases of Orientalism—how the Western world perceives the Orient. His model of textual analysis transformed the academic discourse of researchers in literary theory, literary criticism, and Middle Eastern studies.
