The articles in this volume take as their object the concept of
freedom broadly - and of freedom of expression in particular - and
view them through the lens of insights from modern critical theory
and the continental philosophical tradition. Some articles revisit
works of key theorists to shine fresh light on their conceptual
understanding of "freedom", examining how they articulate it and
how they arrived at it in genealogical terms. Others link concepts
and ideas from critical theory to live contemporary debates, such
as those concerning online freedom, campus no-platforming, and
so-called "cancel culture", and use the tools of critical theory to
nuance discourse surrounding these often sensationalized and
polarizing topics. A critical awareness of how power operates in
the deployment of the language of freedom - who is allowed to align
themselves with that virtue along sexed, gendered, racialized, and
class lines - permeates the articles.
