No hay que perderse la conferencia #Reith de #Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. En ella habla sobre la libertad de expresión, sobre los riesgos de los linchamientos en redes sociales —que tan a menudo saltan al mundo real— y sobre la importancia de la curiosidad, de la exploración.

Beautiful words in Itohan Esekheigbe’s dedication of A Contrastive Analysis on the Characters, Their Actions and the Settings in E #Osunde’s Vagabonds! and #Chimamanda Adichie's Americanah:

“I would like to dedicate this project to myself, for all the sleepless nights and mental breakoun it took to make this possible. I would also like to dedicate this to the incorrigible vagabonds, for daring to exist in yourself as you are”

#Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie on #FreedomOfSpeech.👏👏👏
She argues that it feels like FOS is under attack. Cancel culture, arguments about “wokeness" and the assault on Salman Rushdie have produced a febrile atmosphere. Meanwhile autocrats and populists have undermined the very notion of an accepted fact-based truth which lives above politics. So how do we calibrate freedom in this context? If we have the freedom to offend, where do we draw the line?
Great lecture! Podcast: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001fmtz

Excellent #ReithLecture on #FreedomOfSpeech by #ChimamandaNgoziAdichie. Great that people like #Chimamanda are retrieving this issue from 'free-speech warriors' on the Right but also a lesson for those on the Left tempted into #tribal self-censorship.

Otra mini-#reseña de #libro: "Sobre el peligro de los tópicos" de #Chimamanda #Ngozi #Adichie. (realmente describe mejor el contenido el otro título: "el peligro de la historia única").

Muy recomendable: corto, fácil de leer, y con un mensaje importante. Aporta un punto de vista que a mí al menos me resultó novedoso sobre #tópicos y #prejuicios, desde el punto de vista de las #historias. Quién cuenta las historias y cómo modelan nuestro punto de vista sobre la gente, y especialmente sobre la gente de la que se cuentan pocas historias, o poco variadas. Según Adichie el problema de los tópicos no es tanto que sean falsos como que son incompletos, y eso deshumaniza a las personas e imposibilita relaciones humanas reales.
