Indiana University, Purdue University- Indianapolis / Current models of public intellectualism rely upon arbitrary and oftentimes elitist
criteria. The work of Corey Robin, when combined with that of Antonio Gramsci,
provides a reproducable, and scalable, series of tests for consideration of indivduals
as public intellectuals. This work takes author Ray Bradbury as an example of public
intellectuals who are often missed using current schemas . Bradbury serves as a test case of public intellectualism in the early Cold War period in the United States based upon this
new formulation. It examines Bradbury’s work in light of the historical situation in which
Bradbury operated, his work’s comparitive arguments in relation to contemporary
intellectuals, and reviews some of the influence Bradbury exerted on future generations.
