Abstract

Enforcing and Eluding Censorship: British and Anglo-Italian Perspectives brings together a wide range of current work on literary, cultural and linguistic censorship by a team of fifteen contributors working in Italy, Britain and continental Europe. Censorship can take hold of a written text before or after its public appearance; it can strike the cultural item, as well as the very individual/s who created it; it can also catch in its net the agents responsible for its publication and diffus...

Abstract

Journalists are being imprisoned and killed in record numbers. Online surveillance is annihilating privacy, and the Internet can be brought under government control at any time. Joel Simon, the executive director of the Committee to Protect Journalists, warns that we can no longer assume that our global information ecosystem is stable, protected, and robust. Journalists are increasingly vulnerable to attack by authoritarian governments, militants, criminals, and terrorists, who all seek to use technology, political pressure, and violence to set the global information agenda. Reporting from Pakistan, Russia, Turkey, Egypt, and Mexico, among other hotspots, Simon finds journalists under threat from all sides. The result is a growing crisis in information — a shortage of the news we need to make sense of our globalized world and fight human rights abuses, manage conflict, and promote accountability. Drawing on his experience defending journalists on the front lines, he calls on "global citizens," U.S. policy makers, international law advocates, and human rights groups to create a global freedom-of-expression agenda tied to trade, climate, and other major negotiations. He proposes ten key priorities, including combating the murder of journalists, ending censorship, and developing a global free-expression charter to challenge the criminal and corrupt forces that seek to manipulate the world's news

Abstract

This book examines the problem of transparency in the news media in China through analysis of the political and market control jointly imposed by the party-state and the media. It argues that the gap between rhetoric and reality reveals the disjuncture of the party-state and the media from their political representation.

Abstract

L'abbé Bethléem est surtout connu pour avoir publié en 1904 un brûlot, Romans à lire et romans à proscrire, futur best-seller. Mais la force de frappe de son magazine culturel, la Revue des Lectures, qui parvint à s'imposer dans le paysage culturel de l'entre-deux-guerres, l'est beaucoup moins. Ce grand intellectuel catholique, soutenu par le Saint-Siège, fut la bête noire des surréalistes qui refusaient ses oukases, et il n'hésita pas non plus à s'attaquer à Gide ou à Mauriac. 0Après sa mort, il inspira la loi du 16 juillet 1949 sur les publications pour la jeunesse qui tenta d'empêcher les jeunes éditeurs Pauvert, Losfeld ou Tchou, de publier Sade et les auteurs maintenus dans l'Enfer de la Bibliothèque Nationale. Jean-Yves Mollier raconte avec brio l'histoire de cet abbé chargé de mettre au pas les écrivains - y compris catholiques - au XXe siècle, et de les contraindre à respecter les lois relatives aux bonnes moeurs. 0.
