: novos "intelectuais" no espaço público mediático?

Abstract

The recognized fact upon which the presence of intellectuals in the public sphere makes that a myriad of questions rise from the investigations on the subject: who are today’s intellectuals?, where are they?, have intellectuals died?, among (many) others. The present proposal suggests that the intellectual still, in fact, exists but inside a different and unconsidered sphere: art. This idea is based upon the constant change of the public sphere, through the technological evolution and the importance of the media in contemporary society, to show that musicians can, actually, be seen as “intellectuals”.
