Nicholas K. BlomleyFinally, West offers his preferred model of the intellectual as a critical organiccatalyst. This requires that the academic function inside the academy in order to stayattuned to “the most sophisticated reflections about society and culture” (Chomsky,1969, 34) whilst also being grounded outside the academy in progressiveorganizations. To be a critical organic catalyst, for West, is to “fuse the best of the lifeof the mind from within the academy with the best of the organized forces for greaterdemocracy and freedom from outside the academy” (Chomsky, 1969, 35).Again, this seems engaging at some levels. The idea of a “double grounding” isattractive, for example. However, it seems distant from much of the activism that Ihave engaged in. The divide between the academy, with its “life of the mind,” and the“organized forces” outside the academy, seems difficult to sustain. At its worst, itimplies an elitist model of community groups as the instruments of activism, ratherthan its subjects. Not only are many of the community folks I have worked with leeryof the academy and of academics – often for good reason – but the life of the mind isoften a lot healthier in many of the community settings in which I have found myself.Also, the role I have been asked to play – if I am a self-identified academic – takesmany and different roles. My supposed position as an “impartial academic” means thatone group I have worked with has used me as a strategic mouthpiece, given thatindividuals feared the consequences of speaking out publicly for themselves. In othercases, it is the material resources of the university – data, libraries, contacts – thatpeople seek through me, rather than critical insight.Yet critical insight is an undeniably powerful political resource. This does notmean that academics are not the only ones with that insight, of course – there are stillmany organic intellectuals out there. Yet there is still space for progressive academicsto offer useful contributions; perhaps by offering theoretical narratives or conceptualframings for local events.But I am still left with a search for an alternative model, one that navigatesbetween the opposed perils of academic elitism and political disengagement. How canwe contribute to and learn from progressive struggles without reinforcing thehierarchies of privilege, silencing those with whom we work? What can I offer? Whatdo grass roots activists stand to lose from such an exchange? Does my status andeconomic power necessarily create distance? Is our role that of catalyst, facilitator, orstudent? How much of my angst entails a quest for self-validation or ‘holier-than-thou’status? How much of ourselves are we willing to put on the line, given an institutionalsystem that rewards docility and obedience?ReferencesChomsky, N. 1969. American Power and the New Mandarins.
