"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"--

Nick Buckley MBE came to international attention in June 2020 when he was fired by the board of The Mancunian Way, a charity he had founded, for criticizing the far-left policies of Black Lives Matter. He then mounted a successful fightback that resulted in his reinstatement and the resignation of the board who had fired him. Buckley had spent two decades preventing youth crime, homelessness, and antisocial behaviour in the UK's toughest neighborhoods. In 2019 he was awarded the MBE for his work with Mancunian Way, which promotes early intervention and personal responsibility. Buckley was a social campaigner for issues that keep people in poverty feeling victimized. But when he found himself cancelled, he felt his life was destroyed. Slowly becoming poisoned by the toxicity of self-pity, he decided he needed to give himself a good talking to. He was lucky. It had been his career to give people a good talking to, and he was good at it. He took his own medicine and got his life back within weeks. In Lessons in Courage, Buckley argues that in our febrile cultural climate we increasingly need people to be courageous and to do what is right, not what is convenient or acceptable to fashionable ideologues. Buckley sets out a series of lessons learned throughout his life, not having realized that he was in training for a life-defining battle. These are the tough but inspiring lessons he wants to offer the next person to face an angry and intolerant mob and to others who self-censor or hold back for fear of drowning in turbulent waters.

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.

"Censored Art Today' is an accessible, informed analysis of the debates raging around censorship of art and so-called 'cancel culture', focusing on who the censors are and why they are clamping down on forms of artistic expression worldwide. Art censorship is a centuries-old issue which appears to be on the rise in the 21st century -- why is this the case? Gareth Harris expertly analyses the different contexts in which artists, museums and curators face restrictions today, investigating political censorship in China, Cuba and the Middle East; the suppression of LGBTQ+ artists in 'illiberal democracies'; the algorithms policing art online; Western museums and 'cancel culture'; and the narratives around 'problematic' monuments. His fascinating study, which draws on extensive research and interviews, reveals why censorship has become the hottest of topics, impacting substantially on artists."--

"Berlin, Januar 2016: Die Welt von Harro Grunenberg, Leiter eine Agentur für ethische Werbung, wird unsanft erschüttert, als er zufällig erfährt, dass seine Tochter Opfer einer Vergewaltigung wurde. Merkwürdigerweise scheint der Vorfall im woken Milieu - wo er und seine Frau ihre Brötchen verdienen - "unsagbar" zu sein, mutma�lich, weil der Täter Einwanderer ist. In einer Zeit, in der Meinungsfreiheit zu einem Gnadenerweis der Elite geworden ist und Medien Tatsachen als "auf-vernünftige-Weise-nicht-mehr-besprechbar" (Die Welt, 3.2.2015) empfinden, darf es keine Ausnahme geben - eine Regel, die der Werbe-Guru allerdings nicht einsehen will. Verstört von dem seelischen Kältestrom seiner Umgebung, die darauf beharrt, es "sei doch nichts passiert", begibt sich "Grünchen" auf einen ebenso subversiven wie aberwitzigen Rachefeldzug." - Provided by publisher.

Depuis quelques années, nous voyons régulièrement les figures, les disciplines et les oeuvres les plus prestigieuses de la culture occidentale contestées et critiquées par de jeunes militants qui exigent leur exclusion de la culture commune. En un mot, leur effacement : cancel. Celle-ci ne serait, au fond, rien d'autre qu'un système de légitimation d'un ordre patriarcal, raciste et colonial. Face à ces accusations, beaucoup sont perplexes. Pourtant, il s'agit de l'un des débats les plus importants de notre temps. Que répondre à ceux qui accusent Churchill d'avoir eu une vision du monde "raciste" ? A ceux qui font valoir que Carmen s'achève sur un "féminicide" ? Tout cela est vrai. Mais faut-il pour autant déboulonner les statues du Premier ministre britannique ou récrire la fin de l'opéra de Bizet ?
