Título: | Carey McWilliams, the Public Intellectual: Reflections on his work on citizenship and culture | Autor: | Canelo, Maria José | Data: | Fev-2011 | Editora: | Centro de Estudos Sociais | Título da revista, periódico, livro ou evento: | Oficina do CES | Volume: | 362 | Local de edição ou do evento: | Coimbra | Resumo: | Even though Carey McWilliams remains fairly unknown, his activism and critical thinking span nearly fifty years of United States’ history and culture. A lawyer, cultural critic, writer, journalist and social historian, and also the editor of the left-wing magazine Nation for over two decades, McWilliams’s critique identifies him easily as a public intellectual. He combined his legal experience with cultural criticism and committed himself to the reinvention of legal concepts and practices, which is one of the aspects I stress in this paper. In this, I see him as anticipating, among others, very actual debates, such as that on legal activism. While presenting a broad overview of his criticism of culture, this paper will attempt a closer look into the development of what he called his ‘legal imagination’. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/32605 | ISSN: | 2182-7966 | Direitos: | openAccess |
