On Freedom: Four Songs of Care and Constraint Nelson Maggie
Now in paperback, an enduring work of criticism from one of the most important writers of our time.So often deployed as a jingoistic, even menacing rallying cry, or limited by a focus on passing moments of liberation, the rhetoric of freedom both rouses and repels. Does a continued obsession with it enliven and emancipate, or reflect a deepening nihilism (or both)? Does it remain key to autonomy, justice, and well-being, or is freedom's long star turn coming to a close?
Her abiding interest lies in ongoing "practices of freedom" by which we negotiate our interrelation with others, On Freedom examines such questions by tracing the concept's complexities in four realms: art, sex, drugs, and climate.Drawing on a vast range of material, Maggie Nelson explores how we might think, experience, or talk about freedom in ways responsive to the conditions of our day.
