Understanding Knowledge Technician and Brother Complex
The article discusses the role of the functional and cognitive intellectual in the context of political and cultural conflicts in Tunisia. It focuses on the rejection by modernist currents of cooperation with the Muslim Brotherhood, accusing them of using democratic rhetoric to safeguard the internal colonial system and prevent genuine change. The article emphasizes that many of these intellectuals lack independent thinking and act as tools of domination, contributing to the security-judicial classification of the Islamic movement rather than addressing it politically. It also highlights that the superficial concept of the civil state is imposed and conceals the true conflict between the nation-state and the mechanisms of legitimacy. Furthermore, the notions of democracy and modernity are used rhetorically to achieve social and economic dependency. The article calls for redefining the concept of the true intellectual—one who places knowledge in service of society away from ideological interests and politicization—and advocates for a deep analysis of the state and elite realities, moving away from discourses based on Western models that are disconnected from the local context.
