On Jacques Rancière's Distant Freedom: Essay on Chekhov and Beyond.
Setting out from Jacques Rancière’s Au loin la liberté, this talk examines nihilism both in its metaphysical sense of destiny and in its political sense of servitude and revolution. I suggest new ways of approaching nihilism not as pure despair or stasis, but as a dynamic space of interruption and transformation where freedom can emerge.
