Abstract
Este documento aborda la compleja relación entre la modernidad, la posmodernidad y el papel de los intelectuales, critica la idea del "fin de los intelectuales" proclamada por la posmodernidad, argumentando que esto es en sí mismo un acto intelectual y una actitud moderna, de igual forma, se señala que la posmodernidad tiene funciones ideológicas en ámbitos como la sexualidad, la paz, la guerra y los conflictos sociales, a través de la cultura, los medios de comunicación, etc. a diferencia de la modernidad, que se movía por el modelo del consenso y la búsqueda de la verdad, la posmodernidad inmoviliza las energías y las somete a rituales sin contenido, por último, realiza una dura crítica al intelectual posmoderno, argumentando que este "se pone cómodo", disuelve y licúa la realidad, calificando de "populismo" todo intento político vinculado a las víctimas. además, analiza cómo el periodista ha desplazado al intelectual universitario, convirtiéndose en un "intelectual del ruido" que basa su acción en la persuasión y la información, en detrimento del conocimiento y la sabiduría.

He also analyzes how the journalist has displaced the university intellectual, becoming an “intellectual of noise” who bases his action on persuasion and information, to the detriment of knowledge and wisdom.
