cultural intermediaries  

Définition(s)

  • This is the term used by Bourdieu to describe those members of the new and unrooted middle classes – postmodernity's ultra-cool set – who engage in the promotion and transmission of popular culture in order to legitimate relatively new leisure fields such as life-style shopping, fashion, popular music and celebrity as ‘valid fields of intellectual analysis’ (Featherstone, 1991). In this sense, Bourdieu, like Gramsci before him, recognizes the gradual shift in the modus operandi of intellectual work, which sees the passing of the intellectual torch from traditional, legislating intellectuals to the intellectuals of a third culture who will not only shape the Zeitgeist but also act as go-betweens.
