Giles Scott-Smith [1]argues that the CCF arose at a time when the traditional position of the autonomous critical intellectual was under threat from the demands of political conformism in the east and west, and was in a sense a response to these conditions, but he also argues this from Gramsci's notion of the role of the 'intellectual' within the construction and maintenance of hegemony: "This recognises cultural-intellectual activity as essentially connected to, and crucially involved with, the material conditions of society."
