Abstract |
"The academy, once celebrated as society's vital center of intellectual life, has become in many respects a business enterprise whose primary concern is to keep itself in business, leaving the culture of ideas to languish. We might recover - or create - it in interstitial spaces and in interludes we seize for ourselves"-- Provided by publisher. |
