Grondrechten. Een enkele fascist, communist of jihadist daargelaten, draagt iedereen ze hoog in het vaandel. Tot je naar de praktijk kijkt: vaandelvlucht volgt zodra rechten ongemakkelijk worden. En ongemakkelijk zijn ze. Onvermijdelijk ongemakkelijk. Ze laten veel ruimte voor choquerend of ronduit vulgair gedrag. De Grondwet is er tenslotte ook voor racisten, hooligans en homofoben. 00Veel politici en beleidsmakers daarentegen lijken slechts gelukkig als ze allerlei ongewenst gedrag bij wet kunnen verbieden. Of het nu gaat om boerkini?s, negationisme of seksisme: de relatiestatus tussen Wetstraat en rechtsstaat laat zich in het gunstigste geval omschrijven als it?s complicated. 00Recht werkt bovendien vaak averechts. Ongewenst gedrag bestrijden door het te verbieden en te sanctioneren lijkt aantrekkelijk in al zijn eenvoud. Maar het heeft ook de diepgang van een surfplank: de realiteit laat zich niet zomaar sturen door inktvlekken op papier, zelfs niet als ze in het Staatsblad staan. 00Grondrechtenspecialist en rechtsantropoloog Jogchum Vrielink neemt de actualiteit op de korrel. Hij laat steevast een tegengeluid horen wanneer de waan van dag het dreigt te halen en spaart daarbij links noch rechts. 'Pro Deo' bundelt zijn snijdende opiniestukken. Het zijn beschouwingen van een opiniemaker-in-bijberoep. Geboren uit noodzaak: omdat Twitter maar 140 tekens toelaat.

Censorship in varying forms has been part of human experience for 2,500 years and has proved itself to be a recurring presence for political thought, whether as active repression, a shaping context for expression, or as itself a subject for analysis and argument. From the death of Socrates to the fatwa against Salman Rushdie, attempts to silence thinkers and writers have provoked passionate and often penetrating responses that speak of their historical moment. Censorship Moments will provide short, accessible and stimulating access to a variety of these responses. Each chapter will couple a short textual 'moment' of writing on censorship and freedom of expression by a past writer with analysis by an expert current scholar. The book's main focus is the public political dimension of censorship, in its relation to political authority and political thought, while also reflecting on the porous boundary to literature and other areas such as law and the media.

New Threats to Freedom In the twentieth century, free people faced a number of mortal threats,ranging from despotism, fascism,and communism to the looming menace of global terrorism. While the struggle against some of these overt dangers continues, some insidious new threats seem to have slipped past our intellectual defenses. These often unchallenged threats are quietly eroding our hard-won freedoms and, in some cases, are widely accepted as beneficial. In New Threats to Freedom, editor and author Adam Bellow has assembled an all-star lineup of innovative thinkers to challenge these insidi

This book focuses on regulatory challenges of creating and sustaining freedom of speech and freedom of information two decades after the fall of the Berlin wall, in global, comparative context. Some chapters overview, others address specific issues, or describe country case studies. Instead of trying to provide an exhaustive assessment which in one volume might not reach deeper analyzes of contextual details, this book will shed light on and help better understanding of general challenges for freedom of speech and information through varying comparative examples and highlighting important regulatory questions.

Defamation and privacy are now two central issues in media law. While defamation law has long posed concerns for media publications, the emergence of privacy as a legal challenge has been relatively recent in many common law jurisdictions outside the US. A number of jurisdictions have seen recent defamation and privacy law reforms, which have often drawn on, or reacted against, developments elsewhere. This timely book examines topical issues in defamation and privacy law focused on media, journalism and contemporary communication. Aimed at a wide legal audience, it brings together leading and emerging analysts of media law to address current and proposed reforms and the impact of changes in communication environments, and to re-examine basic principles such as harm and free speech. This book will be of interest to all those working on commonwealth or US law, as well as comparative scholars from wider jurisdictions.
