I only hope I'll one day be able to take such real care and thought in considering so many aspects of situations, emotions, etc., that are beyond complicated. (And hope, I think, to summon the courage to present that thought to others.) ( ) Complex musings on freedom as the concept applies to art, sex, drugs, and climate change. Nelson shows through her deeply considered thinking that the complexities ARE the thing. Freedom is never one thing and it must always face its inherent complications and conflicts. In the meanwhile we must speak our moments of joy, we must feel and live. We are after all living. La retòrica de la llibertat, tan sovint lligada al ultranacionalisme i als crits amenaçadors a favor de la unitat, o simplement centrada en moments puntuals i èpics d’alliberament col·lectiu, pot arribar a encendre tant com a crear rebuig. Per a uns és la clau de la nostra autonomia, justícia i benestar; per a d’altres, la paraula llibertat ha perdut vigència i sentit. L’obsessió amb el concepte ens fa millors, i més lliures, o, en canvi, és el reflex d’un nihilisme galopant? A partir de material molt divers, des de teoria crítica fins a cultura popular passant per les intimitats i intercanvis de la nostra vida diària, Nelson en planteja les complexitats en quatre blocs separats —l’art, el sexe, les drogues i el clima— i analitza com pensem, experimentem o parlem de la llibertat segons les circumstàncies que ens envolten o les condicions del nostre dia. Per a Nelson, el fet de reflexionar públicament sobre temes tan candents com el llegat pertorbador de l’alliberament sexual, les paradoxes doloroses de l’addicció o la desesperació davant de la crisi climàtica és un exercici de llibertat, una manera de bastir fortalesa, coratge i companyonia entre les persones. Sobre la llibertat, que combina experiència pròpia i una sòlida base intel·lectual, és un llibre estimulant i necessari. I was not in a good headspace to fully take in this book. I should reread it, but from what I was able to absorb, I know this would be a worthwhile exercise. Maggie Nelson writes, articulately, as she pulls you through a complex web of ideas, and theories, never shying from taking back alleys, and leaving no stone unturned. I always ask myself if I am really smart enough to read Maggie Nelson, and feel her works could be read and reread, only to find new revelations, and perhaps more importantly, new questions to ponder. I was in a very anxious state while I read this, which inhibited me from taking it slow, a necessary posture to assume when reading any of her work. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
