سلطة المثقف: أي دور مجتمعي للمثقف العربي اليوم?

Abstract EN

This study examines and discusses a set of problematic questions about the Arab intellectual today.

Does he possess any tools of confrontation within his society? Does he have any authority, even among his compatriots, or a position, objective / material or subjective, among his people today amidst communication changes, digital revolution, information prevalence? Does the intellectual still maintain a presence in Arab societies amidst the competition of information dissemination through new, easy, and inexpensive tools, and the lack of concern for the accuracy of their content and impact? Ultimately, does this intellectual, who we have constructed a real and symbolic image of in our imagination and reality, still exist, or has study of the Western academy.

The analysis is based on measuring a number of indicators.

These include shifts in foreign policy or institutional decision-making and public opinion-making.

Assessing the success or failure of these solidarity movements is best done at the level of academic politics rather than geopolitics in three regards: Sustainable reforms to curricula and methodologies used to approach the Palestinian cause, changes in the structure of administrations in favour of those supportive of Palestine, and boycott as well as divestment from Israel universities and organizations.
