Within the last few decades, the emergence of public intellectuals as important cultural and social critics has raised fundamental questions not only about the social function of academics, but also about the connection between higher education and public life, between academic work and the major issues shaping the broader society.
Truthout's Public Intellectual Project will provide progressive academics with an opportunity to address a number of important social issues in a language that is both rigorous and accessible.

Social Media Strategy Plan. “Become the media !” Félix Guattari prévoyait au tout début des années 90, l’émergence d’une subjectivité post-médiatique « consistant en une réappropriation individuelle collective et un usage interactif des machines d’information, de communication, d’intelligence, d’art et de culture. » dans un contexte de convergence, un processus encore en devenir de « jonction entre la télévision, la télématique et l’informatique », alors que le câblage et le satellite permettront « de zapper entre 50 chaînes, tandis que la télématique nous donnera accès à un nombre indéfini de banques d’images et de données cognitives. » C’est alors qu’avec ce renversement du pouvoir mass-médiatique surplombant, vertical, unilatéral, les attitudes de passivité ainsi que le caractère de suggestion et d’hypnotisme qu’il engendrait devraient aller en s’estompant.

For some time now, one aspect of contemporary art has been very much to the fore in theoretical discussions: art as a field and a medium of specific knowledge production. In the context of disciplinary practice in particular, which describes academic activities as "artistic research", there are repeated, indeed ritualistic, references – not least by this side – to the constant need for a stable embodiment of artistic knowledge production, to be accompanied by a socially critical (self-) reflection of art and its producers.
