Book Description
This edited collection gives voice to neglected public intellectuals in the arts, humanities, and journalism in South Africa who gave voice and presence to those who have been marginalized and silenced in South African history Edward Said described a public intellectual as someone who uses accessible language to address a designated public on matters of social and political significance. The essays in Public Intellectuals in South Africa apply this interpretive prism and activist principle to a South African context and tell the stories of well-known figures as well as some that have been mostly forgotten. They include Magema Fuze, John Dube, Aggrey Klaaste, Mewa Ramgobin and Koos Roets, alongside marginalized figures such as Elijah Makiwane, Mandisi Sindo, William Pretorius and Dr Thomas Duncan Greenlees. The essays capture the thoughts and opinions of these historical figures, who the contributors argue are public intellectuals who spoke out against the corruption of power, promoted a progressive politics that challenged the colonial project and its legacies, and encouraged a sustained dissent of the political status quo. Offering fascinating accounts of the life and work of these writers, critics and activists across a range of historical contexts and disciplines, from journalism and arts criticism to history and politics, it enriches the historical record of South African public intellectual life. This volume makes a significant contribution to ongoing debates about the value of research in the arts and humanities, and what constitutes public intellectualism in South Africa.

Book Description
Este libro, La mirada y la experiencia artística. Apuntes para una Teoría del arte, bien podría ser un texto de referencia esencial para profesores y estudiantes de todas aquellas asignaturas de Humanidades que tratan el asunto del arte y de la belleza: Historia del Arte, Filosofía, Diseño, Bellas Artes, Humanidades… También es un libro válido de consulta para los ya iniciados en esta materia, pues realiza un recorrido ordenado y cronológico por los autores más importantes que se han ocupado de hablar del arte y la belleza, fundamentalmente en los siglos XIX y XX. No es, sin embargo, una historia de la teoría del arte al uso, ya que escoge aquellos autores más destacados –los que de alguna manera han dejado alguna huella en su época gracias a sus teorías artísticas– y los analiza destacando los valores y las desventajas de esas teorías. Es necesaria una experiencia crítica para asomarse al arte, como también lo es para valorar a aquellos que han escrito sobre el mismo. Y espero que este libro lo consiga, o que al menos de una idea de la complejidad del entramado de esas teorías en los últimos decenios y estimule al lector a seguir indagando por la senda apasionante y algo difícil de la teoría del arte.
