SUMMARY:Maggie Nelson
DESCRIPTION:In conversation about her new book\, On Freedom\n\n\nFacebook Twitter Pinterest  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, September 9\, 2021 – 7:00pm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCrowdcast\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets:\n\nSliding scale ($0-$100)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAward-winning poet\, critic\, and author Maggie Nelson joins us to discuss her latest book\, On Freedom: Four Songs of Care and Constraint (Graywolf Press). Conversation partner TBD. \n“[Maggie Nelson] traces the limits of liberty and the call to care in this expansive and sharp-eyed study. . . . Nelson turns each thought until it is finely honed and avoids binaries and bromides. While the literary theorizing is rich\, this account soars in its ability to find nuance in considering questions of enormous importance. . . . Once again\, Nelson proves herself a masterful thinker and an unparalleled prose stylist.”—Publishers Weekly\, starred review \nThis event will be streamed on our Crowdcast channel. \nREGISTER HERE \nAbout On Freedom\nAn expansive\, exhilarating work of criticism by one of the most significant writers of our day \nSo 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 it remain key to our autonomy\, justice\, and well-being\, or is freedom’s long star turn coming to a close? Does a continued obsession with the term enliven and emancipate\, or reflect a deepening nihilism (or both)? On Freedom examines such questions by tracing the concept’s complexities in four distinct realms: art\, sex\, drugs\, and climate. \nDrawing on a vast range of material\, from critical theory to pop culture to the intimacies and plain exchanges of daily life\, Maggie Nelson explores how we might think\, experience\, or talk about freedom in ways responsive to the conditions of our day. Her abiding interest lies in ongoing “practices of freedom” by which we negotiate our interrelation with—indeed\, our inseparability from—others\, with all the care and constraint that entails\, while accepting difference and conflict as integral to our communion. \nFor Nelson\, thinking publicly through the knots in our culture—from recent art-world debates to the turbulent legacies of sexual liberation\, from the painful paradoxes of addiction to the lure of despair in the face of the climate crisis—is itself a practice of freedom\, a means of forging fortitude\, courage\, and company. On Freedom is an invigorating\, essential book for challenging times. \nAbout Maggie Nelson\nMaggie Nelson is a poet\, critic\, and award-winning author of The Argonauts\, Bluets\, The Art of Cruelty\, Jane: A Murder and The Red Parts. She lives in Los Angeles\, California.
