Description:
In this convergence of thought on the sociology of knowledge, modernity, and the idea of the university from the Enlightenment to the neoliberal global age, Delanty (sociology, U. of Liverpool) stresses the university's role in "technological citizenship" as he deconstructs it as an institution of modernity. In his case for higher education no longer having a monopoly on knowledge production, the author contrasts a gamut of views on the function of the intellectual: from Bourdieu's traditional model of education as social reproduction, to liberal and communist recognition of knowledge's economic and political capital. Published in conjunction with The Society for Research into Higher Education. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
