Focusing on the domains of cultural production, aesthetics, and education, Gr nstad contends that neoliberalism currently poses the greatest threat to our freedom of expression.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Crucially, the book argues that freedom of speech should no longer be considered merely as \u003ci\u003eparrhesia\u003c\/i\u003e-understood as the license to offend-but also as \u003ci\u003eisegoria\u003c\/i\u003e, the equal right to speak. The latter denotes the original meaning of free speech, Gr nstad posits, and should be restored as the conceptual ambit of the term, despite being largely overlooked after Greek Antiquity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Gr nstad examines a variety of texts across formats including \u003ci\u003eFahrenheit 451\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAlphaville \u003c\/i\u003e(1965), \u003ci\u003eSeverance\u003c\/i\u003e, the performance art of Jingyi Wang, and the films of Yorgos Lanthimos to conduct a multi-faceted engagement with cultural works and discourses spanning both genre and historical period that grapple with issues of free speech, censorship, and neoliberal politics. Ultimately, these analyses highlight how art and aesthetics represent a particular case of \u003ci\u003eisegoria\u003c\/i\u003e, and more broadly, how neoliberal rationality operates to delimit the space of the sayable and the expressible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Asbjørn Skarsvåg Grønstad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798765167823\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/14\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Asbjørn Skarsvåg Grønstad","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48487357579519,"sku":"9798765167823","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f06c79d5-f1a1-43a5-b8bc-5b60cf6d5ab5.jpg?v=1778060015","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/free-speech-and-neoliberalism-asbjzurn-skarsvzog-grzunstad-9798765167823","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
