The article discusses the book "Arbiters of Patriotism: Right-Wing Scholars in Imperial Japan" by John Person, which explores the role of the Genri Nippon Society in shaping nationalist ideologies in early Showa Japan. The book examines the intellectual upbringing of Mitsui Kōshi and Minoda Muneki, the central figures of the society, and their influences from psychology, poetry, and religious interpretations. It also delves into the societal and political impact of the society's ideas, including their relationship with the Japanese state and their involvement in academic persecution. The book provides valuable insights into early Showa political ideology and offers a broader understanding of intellectual culture during wartime Japan. [Extracted from the article]

INTELLECTUALS , *SCHOLARS - Abstract
The article explores the dual nature of the public intellectual, who navigates the tension between the roles of scholar and statesman as envisioned by Max Weber, while also being a figure of distinct style and self-awareness. Topics discussed include the contrast between intellectuals like Noam Chomsky and Bernard-Henri Lévy, the blending of academic rigor with public appeal, and the internal conflict faced by intellectuals in balancing these roles.

LITERARY criticism , *LITERATURE studies , *INTELLECTUALS , *LIBERALISM , *SCHOLARS - Abstract
By insisting that only one method – critique or postcritique – can prove victorious, the 'method wars' in literary studies have brought out the worst in literary scholars: the inclination to dismiss arguments that conflict with one's own, the unwillingness to take seriously positions that challenge a person to question theirs, and the felt need to fight for intellectual superiority. As a result, literary scholars fight not against the neoliberal forces stripping the discipline of resources but with each other over whose claims about why literary studies matters are more convincing. The wager of this afterword is that both the present and future of literary studies depend on intellectual solidarity and collective action; how we argue bears on our future because it impacts our ability to forge collectives.

10. Is the Philippines a 'semi-feudal' or a 'backward capitalist' society?: A Review of Recent Data.

INTELLECTUALS ,FEUDALISM ,SCHOLARS - Abstract
In previous decades, different Marxist intellectuals examined a common set of indicators and highlighted more or less the same characteristics of Philippine society but proposed very different ways of categorizing it. Since then, new data on these indicators have accumulated--much of it still largely overlooked. Using this evidence, I ask whether those attributes of Philippine society, which led various intellectuals to advance their categorizations have remained unchanged. I show that data on the indicators these scholars cited no longer indicate what they indicated in the past, prompting us to reevaluate the continuing validity of their proposed categorizations. In the closing section, I draw on recent contributions to suggest how we might begin to develop more updated ways of grasping the character of Philippine society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

11. Social Proximity, Moral Obligation, and Intellectual Loyalty: The Commentaries of Muḥyī al-Dīn al-Nawawī (d. 676/1277) and Badr al-Dīn Ibn Jamāʿa (d. 733/1333) on the Muqaddima of Ibn al-Ṣalāḥ (d. 643/1245).

LOYALTY ,INTELLECTUALS ,SCHOLARS - Abstract
The Muqaddima of Ibn al-Ṣalāḥ on the science of Ḥadīth has attracted a large and complex commentary tradition. Its complexity lies in the fact that certain sorts of commentarial literature, such as abridgments (sg. mukhtaṣar), commentaries (sg. sharḥ), critical commentaries (nukat), and versifications (sg. manẓūma), were produced with a different focus across scholarly networks, locations, and time. Moreover, depending on the orientation of the scholarly networks that a commentator belonged to, the commentaries show different degrees of intellectual loyalty to the base text. Some support the arguments of the base text and follow its structure closely, while others refute ideas and restructure the content. This article centers its analysis on two examples of commentaries on the Muqaddima. Its leading hypothesis is that social proximity or distance to Ibn al-Ṣalāḥ and the network of his close students determines the degree of moral obligation and intellectual loyalty to Ibn al-Ṣalāḥ and the base text. The commentaries of al-Nawawī and Ibn Jamāʿa demonstrate this relation clearly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This chapter presents the perspective of a provost on public intellectuals in higher education. It provides practical guidance through a series of questions faculty members might ask themselves about their role and approach to public intellectualism, including how to translate academic scholarship into a legible message for the general public and establishing discernment process for accepting an interview, speaking engagement, or writing assignments. It also describes effective practices that can shape a public scholarship agenda and considers the implications for academic scholars who choose to enter the realm of thought leadership and public life, and the implications and repercussions of navigating public discourse in the context of a fragmented American evangelicalism.

How should we account for and assess the work of the public intellectual? This chapter unpacks approaches to the assessment of the public intellectual to broadly consider the roles and functions of the academic public intellectual, examine how their roles fit within Boyer's domains of scholarship and how institutional structures both support and impinge upon intellectual activities. It then discusses how the assessment of public intellectuals can be more appropriately and objectively conducted using alternative metrics and clearer expectations for evaluation.

DISABILITY studies , *SOLIDARITY , *SCHOLARS , *ATHLETES with disabilities , *INTELLECTUALS - Abstract
The article is an edited transcription of a three-way conversation, or trialogue, chronicling a collective participation in the emergence and growth of disability studies over the past thirty years. The authors divide their memories into specific sites or "rooms," both public and private, where they discover the power and pleasure of uniting to create change. They map a journey from uncertainty and isolation in the past to solidarity and support in the present which sustains them as colleagues and friends. Along the way they mark moments of institutional acceptance and collaborative innovations. They celebrate their particular form of interdependence, an expertise that comes from their singular and joint observations of their lives as disabled women and academics. They claim their place in a world that still wants to ignore or exclude them, in the hopes that this claiming will continue to make space for disability scholars and activists of the future.

DISABILITY studies , *PARADOXICAL embolism , *SCHOLARS , *ATHLETES with disabilities , *INTELLECTUALS - Abstract
In the article, the author discusses his topic in relation to two experiences that have stimulated his thinking. The first experience was that of co-editing, with Susannah B. Mintz, a two-volume reference work entitled Disability Experiences: Memoirs, Autobiographies, and Other Personal Narratives for Gale Cengage. The second was teaching the Illness/Disability Narrative Course in Columbia's Narrative Medicine Program in the spring 2021 term. Both experiences have entailed consideration of distinct and various limits of disability narrative (e.g. generic, geographical, physiological). The article addresses limits on both the production and the reception of such narrative and the consequent limitations of this discourse. Overall, the status of disability life writing today is paradoxical: on the one hand, it often exceeds what might have been considered its limits; on the other, it remains limited in troubling ways.

DICTATORSHIP , *SOCIAL science research , *INTELLECTUALS , *SCHOLARS , *CRITICAL analysis , *HISTORIOGRAPHY - Abstract
The dictatorships that ravaged Argentina during the 1960s and 1970s produced a profound restructuring of the universities and the scientific and technological research system. With their research and teaching activities decimated, public institutions suffered the closure of their academic spaces, defunding and ideological persecution. In contrast to this panorama which characterised a large part of the public academic environment, a considerable number of private institutions dedicated to social science research developed during the 1960s --and even with more momentum from the mid-1970s onwards--. These became an alternative to the extreme instability and repression of the public sphere. Most of these centres functioned as a kind of intellectual refuge for a not insignificant number of economists, sociologists, political scientists and historians who found a space of protection and relative autonomy. This phenomenon brought about changes in the ways of doing social sciences in the region, thematic, theoretical and methodological openings, as well as fluid dialogues with other national contexts. The Consejo Latinoamericano de Ciencias Sociales (clacso), which has always been based in Buenos Aires, stood out among these institutions for its regional multi-site presence, its institutional strength and that of its several member centres, its funding capacity as well as the protection it received from international organisations and agencies. Throughout this article we will analyse the activities carried out by clacso during the last dictatorship in Argentina (1976-1983). We will do so on the basis of a study of their publication titled David and Goliath. clacso Bulletin, the main source of our research. It quickly became the main means of disseminating activities as well as a space for reflection, critical analysis and coordination among Latin American intellectuals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

19. THE PRIMORDIAL LANGUAGE IN EPHREM THE SYRIAN.

LANGUAGE & languages ,HYMNS ,CAVES ,SCHOLARS ,INTELLECTUALS - Abstract
This article contributes to the discussion on the primordial language in the late antique Syriac tradition, specifically in the legacy of Ephrem the Syrian (c.306-373). The important milestone is the Cave of Treasures, a pseudepigraphal historical narrative ascribed to Ephrem but dated to the mid-sixth or early seventh century. The text emphatically asserts the priority of Syriac over Hebrew. The idea would later become popular among both Eastern and Western Syriac intellectuals. Some scholars have taken it as a testimony of Ephrem's views or an indication that these ideas had been in circulation in his time. However, the authentic writings of Ephrem the Syrian are surprisingly equivocal concerning the pre- Babel language. We can partially reconstruct his views by collating the bits of information from indirect statements in his hymns and his Commentary on Genesis. Analyzing Ephrem's discussion on the tower of Babel and language confusion helps rectify the assumption that Ephrem championed Syriac primordiality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

EDUCATORS ,CONSERVATIONISTS ,VOCATION ,INTELLECTUALS ,SCHOLARS - Abstract
This paper argues that the educators' vocation, in the Arendtian sense, is to prepare and cultivate in students the love for the world – amor mundi. Educators are responsible for introducing the world to students through the conservation and preservation of human tradition and the 'realm of the past.' Thus, it requires a practice of truth-telling or parrhesia. However, this parrhesiastic activity is not explicit in Arendt. This paper also invokes Foucault's account of parrhesia to emphasize another main point of this paper, i.e., Arendt's conservationist view of education implies or presupposes the practice of truth-telling. If such an idea is correct, the positioning of education becomes ambiguous. For Arendt, education islocated 'in between' the realms of the pre-political and political. However,suppose thisimplicitness of truth-telling is proven to be correct and affirmed.In such a case, we can say that education and its main motor – educators as intellectuals/scholars have a quasi-political role in society.

In the year 1514, a Quodlibet disputation took place at the University of Leipzig, where various topics of scholastic philosophy were discussed. The participants attempted to reconcile their philosophical interests with the claim of intellectual hegemony on the part of theology and the church. There was a moderate criticism of the Aristotelian doctrine of the soul and different opinions on the compatibility of Christian faith and Aristotelian philosophy. The article also describes the differences between the questions "quaestiones" and "problemata" in the Quodlibet disputations at the universities in Prague and Leipzig. [Extracted from the article]

In this essay, I reflect on my encounter with Daniel Philpott (Dan) across three distinct phases of my academic journey so far. First was my encounter with "Dan the scholar." When I was a PhD student, Dan's work introduced me to the field and profoundly shaped my thinking about religion and global politics. My second encounter was with "Dan the mentor," a generous scholar who supports early career researchers. The third encounter was with "Dan the intellectual giant." The unparalleled breadth and depth of Dan's thinking became fully apparent once I began to lecture on religion and global politics myself. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
The prominence of religion in recent debates around politics, identity formation, and international terrorism has led to an increased demand on those studying religion to help clarify and contextualise religious belief and practice in the public sphere. While many texts focus on the theoretical development of the subject, this book outlines a wider application of these studies by exploring the role of religious studies scholars and theologians as public intellectuals.This collection of essays first seeks to define exactly what makes an intellectual'public'. It then goes on to deal with a few questions of concern: How do public intellectuals construct knowledge in religious and theological scholarship? What is the link between public intellectuals of higher education and their role in society? Do higher education institutions have a responsibility to endorse public intellectualism?Looking at the individual and collective role of religious studies scholars and theologians in public life, this book will be of great interest to all scholars and academics involved in religious studies and theology across the academy.

Over the nineteenth century, several intellectuals from Terra d'Otranto have been ventured in Dante's exegesis, with particular reference to the Divina Commedia. Among these, it is worth noting Saverio de Pace, writer and critic from Nardò di Lecce, who focused on literary issues, with specific attention to linguistic aspects, and studied Dante's work with passion. As evidence of his commitment as a critic and scholar some interesting publications remain; he sent his Opuscoli letterarii to two of the most famous writers of the nineteenth century, Alessandro Manzoni and Niccolò Tommaseo, with completely different results: no response from the Lombard writer; approval and encouragement to continue by the second.

As a highly acclaimed novel for which Ha Jin won the U.S. National Book Award in 1999, Waiting covers the period from the early 1960s to the early 1980s, encompassing the Cultural Revolution through the early reform era. Its oft-noted central concern is the suppression of emotional life, and by extension humanity, in the totalitarian climate of Mao's regime. This article offers a new reading, which foregrounds the novel's use of masculinities as a central theme and driver of the plot. Through the prism of Kam Louie's wen-wu (literary accomplishment – military prowess) dyad, this study focuses on Ha Jin's critique of the socialist-era trajectories of two historically prominent Chinese male character types: the intellectually-oriented man of book learning and the physically-driven man of action. It shows how Waiting illuminates the conditions underlying a pervasive social and psychological paralysis of male intellectuals and the contrasting empowerment of a predatory class of nouveau riche entrepreneurs.

- Abstract
What is a public intellectual? Where are they to be found? What accounts for the lament today that public intellectuals are either few in number or, worse, irrelevant? While there is a small literature on the role of public intellectuals, it is organized around various thinkers rather than focusing on different countries or the unique opportunities and challenges inherent in varied disciplines or professions. In Public Intellectuals in the Global Arena, Michael C. Desch has gathered a group of contributors to offer a timely and far-reaching reassessment of the role of public intellectuals in a variety of Western and non-Western settings. The contributors delineate the centrality of historical consciousness, philosophical self-understanding, and ethical imperatives for any intelligentsia who presume to speak the truth to power. The first section provides in-depth studies of the role of public intellectuals in a variety of countries or regions, including the United States, Latin America, China, and the Islamic world. The essays in the second section take up the question of why public intellectuals vary so widely across different disciplines. These chapters chronicle changes in the disciplines of philosophy and economics, changes that'have combined to dethrone the former and elevate the latter as the preeminent homes of public intellectuals in the academy.'Also included are chapters that consider the evolving roles of the natural scientist, the former diplomat, and the blogger as public intellectuals. The final section provides concluding perspectives about the duties of public intellectuals in the twenty-first century.

This article demonstrates how social strategies deployed at the margins of French academic space to legitimize theoretical approaches to literary texts (semiology, semantics, structural analysis of narratives) in the 1960s and 1970s strongly relied on the interventions of their promoters beyond the academy. It specifically examines two strategies privileged by promoters of literary theory which allowed some of them to bypass several requirements for academic careers in taking advantage of the transformations of higher education, of the absence of stable and strong disciplinary frames, and of their own integration into the intellectual and literary fields. First, either through the alliance with literary avant-gardes or by the temporary constitution as one, the collective strategy of the literary avant-garde became a way to engage both politically and aesthetically. Second, the investment of transnational networks and internationalization allowed the critics and theorists to get around the national path to symbolic and academic consecration, and to reframe the modalities of their public engagement. Ultimately, this article offers an understanding of how, for aspirant or marginalized academics, interventions beyond the perimeter of the academic space have, at a certain point in French history, helped their acquisition of academic legitimacy.

In this article, we explore the academic life of Julia Grace Wales as a public intellectual and peace activist. The study addresses the largely neglected field of female educators and peace activists in the early to mid-twentieth century through a case study of one woman's lifelong popular education campaign to achieve peace and social justice. In these initiatives of lectures, publications, poetry, hymn, memoir, textbook, and correspondence with leaders in religious, academic, and government institutions, Wales took seriously her role as an academic in a democratic society to resolve international conflicts without war. As a public educator, she emerged at a time of growing professionalisation and specialisation among American universities. Although Wales was unique in her position as a woman, academic, and peace activist, we learn how she capitalised upon multiple profiles to advance her point of view. In this article, we assert that it was from her position on the margins that she drew her strength and determined her actions. In framing Wales' initiatives throughout her career, we gain a glimpse as to the complexity of her motivation to expand the profile of academics beyond universities' walls. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The following article aims to outline analyses on the relations of continuity and political and ideological tensions between the Hispanism of Iberian intellectuals, with an emphasis on the mentor of Luso-Integralism, António Sardinha, and the Lusotropicalism of Gilberto Freyre. To do so, it presents the various projects sustained by Portuguese scholars (Luso-Integralists, and later, members of the Salazarist movement) and Gilberto Freyre, based on proposals for an Ibero- American alliance. It also describes the process of creating a narrative of continuity and civilizational inheritance generated by the Iberian countries and perpetuated by the Ibero-American countries, of particular emphasis in our analyses of Brazil.

This article examines how American and Soviet/Russian cinematography presented a 'scientist' during the Cold War and in the works about that period. The article presents a comparative analysis of the films from both countries that focus on a 'scientist'. The analysis demonstrates that scientists/scholars have been depicted as both subjects and objects of ideological and political confrontation of the Cold War period. While American cinematography focused on the image of a 'mad scientist,' in the Soviet cinematography scientist is more of an intellectual. Some American films used the grotesque 'mad scientist' (e.g. Dr. Strangelove) to highlight the ultimate danger of nuclear catastrophe, and Soviet films used intellectual scientist conversations (e.g. Dr. Gusev) for the same purpose of warning about the dangers of a nuclear age). We trace gradual growing similarities of the cinematography of both countries: scientist becomes to be presented in a less confrontational way as both countries become aware that scientific cooperation is vital for the prevention of the world nuclear war and global conflict.

We explore the concept of interdisciplinary research impact and better understand what factors might be associated with it. Using the field of corporate governance research as a case study and linking our research impact concept to a novel measure of scholarly citation rates, we seek to understand why some corporate governance scholars are cited more than others. We first developed a comprehensive ranking of the top-100 scholars cited for their research in corporate governance and then compared that "high-impact" group with scholars who had published governance research that was not yet cited. We hypothesized that indicators from the social network perspective would be predictive of interdisciplinary research impact. Our data largely supported our hypotheses using this new and improved measure of research impact, and robustness tests also supported our results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Scholars across disciplines assert the importance of diverse faculty for the effective performance of vital higher education functions, including student learning and the generation and dissemination of knowledge. Further, a forecasted depletion of business faculty due to retirement and the persistent lack of diversity among business faculty have rendered insight into the factors determining entrance into the PhD pipeline, particularly in the case of minorities, relevant and timely. We examine factors that influence ethnic minorities’ (Black/African-American and Latinos) decisions to pursue PhDs in business by surveying a sample of participants at the annual PhD Project prospective business doctoral student conference. Results suggest that nonwork factors (cognitive values, social support, financial concerns) were more significant in shaping PhD program pursuit behavior than current job-related factors (job satisfaction).

The article discusses the role of management scholarship in the public sector. Many believe management scholars should matter more to how organizations operate. However, opinions differ as to whether the public sector demands greater involvement, and if scholars should immerse themselves in practical affairs individually or collectively. Some say interesting research should be pursued irrespective of its realm, while others identify the public sector as particularly in need of greater contributions.

The era of the Qajar government coincided with the formation of the thought of nationalism in the world as a result of the French Revolution. The occurrence of the Constitutional Revolution reflected the entrance of these ideas into Iranian society and Iranians demanded national and citizenship rights from the Qajar Autocracy. in opposition to different thoughts, the concept of the nation was interpreted in different ways after entering Iran. This paper examines the diversity of conceptions of the nation meaning among different classes of intellectuals, scholars, rulers, masses of people and groups influenced by Marxist ideas. And it turns out that each of these groups considered a different concept of the nation with respect to the field of thought.

Growing pressure from politicians and corporations has thrown into question the very egitimacy of opposition and critique. A language of political affirmation has confused and misled the ublic, driving many to adopt a cynical attitude to politics. The result has been a rapid decline of egitimate critique, the rise of populism, and a growing tendency to squelch civil disobedience with a nilitarized police force. The introduction to the special issue considers the role of the omplicit/dissenting intellectual in history and literature, politics and law. It explores the genealogy of he terms, as well as conditions for their appearance in our contemporary world. The introduction ollows the advice of leading scholars, who contributed to this issue, in calling for "solidarity between ;truggles" -- when one extends a sense of right and wrong beyond one's immediate identity or a vague iniversal understanding of "right."

Jerzy Jedlicki (1930-2018) should be regarded as one of the best and most interesting historians of the post-war generation. Not only can his oeuvre be defi ned by its wideranging scope (from economic and social history, including research on the 19th-century nobility and intelligentsia, to the history of ideas), but also by peculiar research methodology. By choosing letters Jedlicki wrote to Witold Kula, his mentor, between 1963 and 1974, and providing them with an original commentary, Marcin Kula strived to characterize the most important traits of this historical methodology. He called Jedlicki an 'unusual historian' which begs the question whether Jedlicki can really be referred to as such. According to the reviewer, the approach to historiography developed and practiced by Jedlicki should be treated as exemplary; some of its peculiarities stemmed mostly from his personality. As a deeply self-aware individual, by the way in which he chose his research interests, formulated and solved research problems, he was able to adjust them to his personality and transform weaknesses he found into strengths. He succeeded in combining the career as an historian with maintaining a keen interest in current affairs, which is refl ected in his journalistic writings; also while examining the past, he always bore in mind its impact on the contemporary human condition. His historical works have served readers if not as a source of ready-made answers, then at least as creative refl ection on the problems bothering modern man. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article explores the role of legacy recordings of song for a family of Arrarrkpi (Mawng-speaking people), who are contemporary singers and dancers of manyardi, a public ceremonial performance of western Arnhem Land, in their collaborative work with a team of Balanda (Euro-diasporic) researchers. Drawing inspiration from the dialogical approach of the Yolŋu ceremonial leader and scholar Joe Gumbula, the article reflects on various dialogues that inform the research, practice and archival recording of manyardi. We demonstrate how legacy recordings reinvigorate contemporary performance practice in collective settings, rather than serving as canonical or ideal versions of song sets to be replicated by an individual singer. We suggest that maintaining the linking and organisation of enriched song metadata from this community to the archival collection will enable future song inheritors to maintain dialogues with archives that hold recordings of manyardi.

This paper suggests that sport sociology may be ready to move from a generally atheoretical approach to "race and sport" to a critical analysis of racial relations and sport. Four theoretical groups are identified from the writing of racial relations scholars: bias and discrimination theories, assimilation and cultural deprivation theories, materialist and class-based theories, and culturalist or colonial theories. In the past, studies of race and sport have fit within the former two theories. A cultural studies approach that blends the latter theories is advocated in order to move toward the goal of critical theory and develop a comprehensive model for analyzing the complex of relations of dominance and subordination simultaneously structured along racial, gender, and class lines.

Is the degree of specialization and fragmentation in physical education threatening its future? Does specialization necessarily lead to fragmentation? Data are presented to define the degree of specialization that is occurring in graduate preparation. These data are used to infer how fragmentation may be happening. The thematic nature of sport science is suggested as a means to allow needed specialization without producing scholars who are so narrow in scope that fragmentation of the field occurs. In particular, the need to develop consistent terminology is stressed so that we may communicate effectively among ourselves and with others. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
