| Tiivistelmä: | The aim of this article is to provide some broad outlines of a model of intellectual practice that is arguably gaining increasing salience today: the model of the intellectual as mediator. It first draws briefly upon some empirical data from a recent study in order to suggest that, although institutions such as universities and think tanks do seem to be embracing practices of intellectual production that are at some remove from "traditional" models of knowledge, the shift is not absolute - not least because the idea of the "traditional" intellectual as a basic norm is itself no doubt somewhat problematic. The main body of the article is more theoretical in its orientation, in seeking to address precisely the question as to how to think about norms of intellectual practice. |
