Was wir uns hierzulande gestatten, als Autorität anzuerkennen, hat in der Regel mit ökonomischem Erfolg und politischer Macht mehr zu tun als mit der Befähigung und Begnadung des erzieherischen Menschen. Wohin ist der Sinn für jenes außerhalb des Menschen liegende Maß entschwunden, welches unser Leben lenken könnte? Das beklagenswerte Los einer Lehrerschaft, das sich hinter dem Pseudonym des Bildungsbegleiters verbirgt, kann nicht als Unfall bezeichnet werden, sondern weist auf ein problematisches Verständnis der conditio humana. Obwohl kaum ein anderes Wort im öffentlichen Raum so sehr strapaziert wird wie das der Humanität, wird das Inferiore des Menschen, seine Verletzlichkeit und Angst, nicht in dem Maße gewürdigt, wie es zur Wahrscheinlichmachung einer starken Person nötig wäre. Hier darf die Asymmetrie in der Begegnung von Lehrer und Schüler, Wissendem und Lernendem nicht geleugnet werden, sie muss vielmehr anerkannt und mit Achtung durchwirkt werden. »Das gemessene Band. Kulturkritik & Paideia« enthält Bei-träge von Anthony Carty, Norbert Hummelt, Stephan Steiner, Konrad Weiss u.a.

In The Cultural Politics of the New American Studies, leading American Studies scholar John Carlos Rowe responds to two urgent questions for intellectuals. First, how did neoliberal ideology use the issues of feminism, gay rights, multiculturalism, transnationalism and globalization, class mobility, religious freedom, and freedom of speech and cultural expression to justify a new -American Exceptionalism,- designed to support U.S. economic, political, military, and cultural expansion around the world in the past two decades? Second, if neoliberalism has employed successfully various cultural media, then what are the best means of criticizing its main claims and fundamental purposes? Is it possible under these circumstances to imagine a -counter-culture,- which might effectively challenge neoliberalism or is such an alternative already controlled and contained by such labels as -political correctness,- -the far left,- -radicalism,- -extremism,- even -terrorism,- which in the popular imagination refer to political and social minorities, doomed thereby to marginalization? Rowe argues that the tradition of -cultural criticism- advocated by influential public intellectuals, like Edward Said, can be adapted to the new circumstances demanded by the hegemony of neoliberalism and its successful command of new media. Yet rather than simply honoring such important predecessors as Said, we need to reconceive the role of the public intellectual as more than just an -interdisciplinary scholar- but also as a social critic able to negotiate the different media.
