In these six essays--delivered on the BBC as the prestigious Reith Lectures--Edward Said addresses the ways in which the intellectual can best serve society in the light of a heavily compromised media and of special interest groups who are protected at the cost of larger community concerns.  Said suggests a recasting of the intellectual's vision to resist the lures of power, money, and specialization.  In these pieces, Said eloquently illustrates his arguments by drawing on such writers as Antonio Gramsci, Jean-Paul Sartre, Regis Debray, Julien Benda, and Theodore Adorno, and by discussing current events and celebrated figures in the world of science and politics: Robert Oppenheimer, Henry Kissinger, Dan Quayle, Vietnam and the Gulf War.  Said sees the modern intellectual as an editor, journalist, academic, or political adviser--in other words, a highly specialized professional--who has moved from a position of independence to an alliance with powerful corporate, institutional, or governmental organizations. He concludes that it is the exile-immigrant, the expatriate, and the amateur who must uphold the traditional role of the intellectual as the voice of integrity and courage, able to speak out against those in power.

The monograph aims to reconstruct the Weltanschauung of Bulgarian elites in the second half of the 20th century, as documented in the novels and dramas by Blaga Dimitrova written between the mid-1960s and early 1980s. Being anchored in the everyday reality of Bulgarian communism, Dimitrova's works could be analysed as a specific document of the time, including the dialogue with the national tradition, history, and contemporary events of the social, political and artistic life in Bulgaria. A deconstruction of the ideas contained in the works by Dimitrova allows for their projection onto the background of perennial narratives about the identity of the nation, the attitude towards the Other, the vision of social and cultural modernisation, and the role played in these processes by the national elites.
