De amadores a desapaixonados: eruditos e intelectuais como distintas figuras de sujeito do conhecimento no ocidente contemporâneo

Abstract

The change occurred on the identity of me subject of knowledge in the West, between the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century, is theme of this ICXl. It approaches the substitution of the figure of the scholar by the figure of the intellectual as me producer and consumer of koowledge on me contemporary western societies. This transformation of me subject of knowledge has implied me change of me locus of the production of knowledge itself, as well as it has meant a mutation of the institutional locas of its production and legitimac. The Universiry, which seeks more and more its autonomy before the political groups and parties and the religious confessions, becames the knowledge production center, taking to a professionalization, specialization and greater raionalization of the koowledges and, at the same time, taking to the marginalization and illegitimacy of other forms of knowledge of other professionals and knowledge production places.
