"What is "cancel culture." A new phrase in popular circulation for less than two years, it has provoked passionate denunciations from observers concerned with civil liberties, especially rights of free speech and expression, and apologetic defenses from opponents who advocate equity and accountability in light of new mores. Still others deny that "cancel culture" exists at all, while many claim never to have heard of it. In Cancel Culture: Tales from the Front Lines, noted historian and critic Paul du Quenoy presents a series of case studies that reveal the new phenomenon known as "cancel culture" as experienced or claimed in media, academia, the arts, public space, and other areas of ideological controversy. More than a bald denunciation or frustrated description of an unfamiliar new concept, this groundbreaking approach seeks to understand "cancel culture" as a process - how it starts and stops, where it comes from and leads, and how and, indeed, whether it might one day end. This penetrating and highly original analysis sheds light on a society grappling feverishly with fundamental issues of freedom and liberty"--

In an age when telling the wrong joke or using the wrong pronoun can cost you your career, Quillette magazine - founded in 2015 by Australian-based journalist Claire Lehmann - has provided a forum for thinkers of all political stripes to push back against the forces of intellectual conformity. Panics and Persecutions brings together a collection of especially compelling Quillette narratives, spanning subcultures from computer science to romance literature. These stories lay bare the human toll of modern ideological inquisitions, often in deeply personal terms-and demonstrate the urgency of Quillette's editorial mission to create a space where free thought lives. Edited by Claire Lehmann, Colin Wright, Jamie Palmer, Jonathan Kay and Toby Young.

"We have been waiting for Eve Ng's book on "cancel culture." By plumbing the varied political and popular genealogies of cancel culture -- from fan communities and Black counter-publics to U.S. culture warriors and contemporary Chinese nationalisms -- Ng gives readers the tools they need to understand this ever-changing phenomenon, as well as the central role media culture plays in its transformation." - Carrie Rentschler, William Dawson Scholar of Feminist Media Studies, McGill University, Canada "Eve Ng's wide-ranging book maps the origins and diverse forms of "cancel culture" as it intersects with entertainment media, digital activism, and racial, national, and transnational politics. Written with gusto and sensitivity, this timely study illuminates the role of digital media in shaping popular cultural discourse. Highly recommended to all readers interested in contemporary media culture and politics." - Guobin Yang, Professor of Communication and Sociology, University of Pennsylvania, USA "Cancel culture" has become one of the most charged concepts in contemporary culture and politics, but mainstream critiques from both the left and the right provide only snapshots of responses to the phenomenon. Taking a media and cultural studies perspective, this book traces the origins of cancel practices and discourses, and discusses their subsequent evolution within celebrity and fan cultures, consumer culture, and national politics in the U.S. and China. Moving beyond popular press accounts about the latest targets of cancelling or familiar free speech debates, this analysis identifies multiple lineages for both cancelling and criticisms about cancelling, underscoring the various configurations of power associated with "cancel culture" in particular cultural and political contexts. Eve Ng is Associate Professor in the School of Media Arts and Studies and the Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies program at Ohio University, USA. Her interdisciplinary scholarship examines LGBTQ media, digital media cultures, and constructions of national identity. She has published in numerous journals, including Communication, Culture & Critique, Development and Change, Feminist Media Studies, Feminist Studies, International Journal of Communication, Journal of Film and Video, Popular Communication, and Transformative Works and Culture.

La celebre battuta di Gide che apre questo volume si propone di indagare il complesso rapporto fra etica, estetica e rappresentazione, ma riformulando l’aforisma in forma interrogativa: “Con i buoni sentimenti si fanno brutti libri?”. È proprio così? È ancora così? Ma è, in fin dei conti, davvero sempre stato così? Cercare di rispondere a questa domanda vuol dire riflettere non solo sul valore estetico delle opere, ma anche sulla liceità o sulla pericolosità delle rappresentazioni; significa chiedersi se la cosa di cui si parla conta e qual è il significato etico del come è condotta la rappresentazione, è organizzata la forma; significa anche riflettere su alcune complesse problematiche che sempre più spesso sono al centro dei dibattiti contemporanei: la relazione fra autorialità e opera, fra scrittura e mercato, il canone, la visibilità, il ruolo pedagogico della letteratura, la funzione delle istituzioni, della censura fino ai dibattiti sulla cancel culture, sul politicamente corretto, sulla cultura woke, sull’appropriazione culturale, su un certo moralismo di ritorno, sul ruolo ideologicamente orientato del culturalismo, le relazioni fra la voce letteraria di una soggettività subalterna e i criteri di attribuzione del valore estetico.
