Abstract:The famous postcolonial literary critic Edward W. Said has become a symbol of academic activism. Yet Said was militantly opposed to professors who engaged in political advocacy in the classroom. This essay explores the apparent contradiction by examining a previously unpublished paper by Said on the relationship between politics and literature. I compare Said's arguments against political advocacy in the classroom to the ideas of Stanley Fish and Max Weber on academic freedom and responsibility.

“课堂政治不是世界政治”：爱德华·W·赛义德的未发表演讲

摘要：著名的后殖民文学评论家爱德华·W·赛义德已成为学术激进主义的象征。然而，赛义德坚决反对在课堂上从事政治宣传的教授。本文通过研究赛义德先前未发表的关于政治与文学之间关系的论文来探讨明显的矛盾。我将赛义德反对课堂政治倡导的论点与斯坦利·菲什和马克斯·韦伯关于学术自由和责任的观点进行了比较。
