In Philosophical Essays on Free Stuff, Robyn Ferrell depicts figures of freedom in consumer culture, a world made image by the internet and globalization. Through word and image associations, Ferrell links the question of "free" to the effects of instrumentalism in the political sphere. The discussion proceeds through these images which allow the question to come into focus through diverse perspectives. Each essay is autonomous, and all are linked. Grounded in critical theory, continental philosophy, and cultural studies, Ferrell explores ideas of free gift, free thought, free time, free choice, free love, free market, free speech, and free world.
Robyn Ferrell is adjunct professor at the Centre for Law, Art and Humanities at the Australian National University and in gender & cultural studies at the University of Sydney.
