These brief notes are the result of the discussions in the Special Topics in Culture and Identity: Intellectuals and Intellectual History of the Post-Graduate in History at the State University of Ponta Grossa. The text intends to present summarily the emergence of intellectuals from the Dreyfus Affair and some meanings of this word throughout the twentieth century, and then delineate this figure in a temporality other: the Middle Ages. According to SILVA (2005) and LECLERC (2004), the intellectual who was not engaged or dissident would be close to the medieval clerc, that is, a erudite guardian of traditions and institutions. Troubled by this, I try to present the profile of these people of knowledge from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, the context that emerged, their spaces of action/dispute, and also punctuate as studies about intellectual history and the history of intellectuals help to ward off the darkness placed on this period.
