MORENO RUBIO, Mónica Eugenia. Intellectuals and Hegemony Production. Intersticios sociales [online]. 2020, n.20, pp.49-75. Epub 20-Nov-2020. ISSN 2007-4964.
The concept of intellectual has many different definitions tending to hinder the outlook as for who they are, what they do, whether they are close or not to the State, what kind of activities define them and, most importantly, that they are responsible for the production of dominant knowledge or beliefs. Additionally, and regarding the latter feature, there is a lack of depth in how hegemony is produced in micro-social terms. In this article, different definitions of intellectual are reviewed; some social mechanisms are proposed to explain the production of hegemony by intellectuals and, in terms of said production, we suggest that change or continuity of certain way of things could be explained inasmuch as such way of things could be associated to said mechanisms and the resulting hegemony. Finally, a definition to this concept is outlined which may result -as we hope- more comprehensive for future research.
