| Abstract | |
The objective of this thesis is to analysis the work and trajectory of two contemporary intellectuals, Michael Löwy and Daniel Bensaïd in light of the historical, political, cultural-ideological transformations of recent decades, by outlining the way both confronted the change of historical period that began in the 1970s. Through the comprehension of their oeuvres and the reconstruction of their itineraries with respect to the changes in historical and social context, the worldview of the respective authors, together with the intellectual field itself, it aims to analyse the political and intellectual repositioning Michael Löwy and Daniel Bensaïd undertook from the 1980s. This repositioning was stimulated, in both cases, through a selective and singular interpretation of Walter Benjamin¿s thought. In analysing both the affinities and differences, the grandeurs and limits of their post-Benjaminian works, in order contribute to the comprehension of the dilemmas of engaged and/or militant intellectuals today (AU) | |
