“…By basing our analysis on Bourdieu's theory, our article argues for the relevance of concepts originally elaborated for national contexts for examining transnational questions (Sapiro et al, 2018). Unlike the classical sociology of the circulation of ideas (Lamont, 1987), transnational patterns testify to an additional layer of complexity, as the analysis cannot focus merely on the disconnection between the context in which texts are elaborated and in which they are received.…”

This article offers an analysis of the ‘European Islam Project’ developed by Tariq Ramadan since the 1990s. It highlights the tension that exists between the transnational dimension of this project and its application at national levels. There has been the case in two European countries where Islam is well represented – France and the UK – and on which this article focuses. In these different locations, intellectual and political interventions by Ramadan in order to formulate his project for a European Islam have had different outcomes, ranging from distrust towards exclusion from official political circles in France to recognition as a Muslim modernist thinker in the UK. To account for this discrepancy, we analyse the transnational realms in which Ramadan has built his career. We then examine the parallel evolution of his position in France and the UK by linking his academic and political recognition to the differing structures of politics and academia in these two countries.

“…Whether authors deal with individual intellectuals or groups, their aim is to explain the social circumstances behind intellectual positioning and engagement, with a focus on specific contexts and actual social practices. Many of the contributors are also interested in uncovering how such interventions transcend national borders, aware that many influential analyses of intellectuals have thus far been limited by their methodological nationalism (Boschetti, 1985;Bourdieu, 1984;Gross, 2008;Sapiro et al, 2018). 2 By contrast -following the example of Lamont's (1987) classic study of Derrida's reception in the US -many of the articles gathered here show how the work of intellectuals not only travels across national boundaries in an incidental manner, but in many cases in fact relies upon this traversing for its success.…”

This introduction to the Special Section on public intellectual engagement has three objectives. First, to explore the different meanings that the polysemic term ‘strategy’ can hold in relation to intellectuals. In the process, we showcase both this concept’s potential theoretical yield and its capacity to bridge the ‘performative’ and event-oriented study of intellectuals more common in English-speaking sociology with longue durée career-oriented analyses more associated with French sociology. The second objective is to reassess some of the main contributions to the sociology of intellectuals by reference to this notion of ‘strategy’, especially concerning issues of political allegiance and group membership. The final objective is to illustrate the potential of this approach in empirical work on intellectual engagement and introduce the articles that comprise the Special Section.

“…Based on the above, it is possible to understand the question about the existence of fields that are not necessarily national (Sapiro et al., 2018). Under what conditions can an intellectual field delineated by frontiers transcend them (Sapiro, 2013)?…”

Crisis and public intellectuals: From the transnational intellectual field to the digital global public circuit

We examine the modes of intervention of global public intellectuals at times of crisis. In critical situations, public intellectuals take positions on matters that affect the societies they inhabit and, eventually, all humanity. To this end, they take advantage of the opportunities afforded by new communications technologies, establishing an important distinction between the “analog” intellectual (who relies on the slow time of books, opinion columns, and bookstores) and the “digital” intellectual who uses modern information and communications technologies. To study the activities of global public intellectuals and their political influence, we propose to leave aside the notion of “transnational intellectual field” in favor of an understanding of a transnational intellectual stage peopled by a certain type of intellectual agent whose symbolic and cultural production is disseminated through a digital global public circuit. To illustrate the functioning of a circuit of this type, we take the example of the Project Syndicate platform.
