Educator with political motives.

The issues we face as intellectuals could be leading us into a new cultural terrain. One in which we are reconfiguring our sense of the poltical, the artistic, of domestic space. This possibly changes cultures' motives, our own - what might be undertook as a kind of critique of culture. Those of us who engage with politics, do often appear as intellectuals, sometimes as artists, singers, fashion-designers, film-makers. These create a nexus of interesting formulations which need in my estimation to be understood beyond an appreciation of interdisciplinarity.

Let us take the category of the cultural-critic. Later I will play such a critic. There is the humanitarian and what they are up to, or the environmentalist. If they form a type of person, what is this type; do they function as an intellectual, or politician, or artist? How do we share and develop these roles within a more rigorous or even righteous context?

Thus I will take on such roles, exchange such nuances, maybe develop a moral will. Please feel free to share your opinions with me, because I would like to know more about your opinions regarding these nebulous roles in our post-modern society; the streets, galleries, shopping-malls, houses.
