Maggie Nelson's 'On Freedom'
In this session, we will read Chapter 2 of Maggie Nelson's 'On Freedom'. In this book, she engages with the question of freedom in four realms (art, sex, drug, and climate), making an urgent intervention amid cancel culture and MeToo movements. In Chapter 2 on sex, she draws on Foucault and uses the concept of power and desire, to shed new light on calling out people for professional sexual misconduct, exposing the paradox of freedom.
