Description
Censorship was once a predictable topic, dividing liberals and conservatives down the middle on issues like obscenity and national security.
Today, the debate over the regulation of speech offers no such easy dichotomy, with feminists joining forces with religious fundamentalists to control pornography, and abortion rights advocates seeking to restrict clinic demonstrations while prolife groups defend their freedom to picket.
Underlying this trend is a fundamental intellectual shift--exemplified by the work of Michel Foucault--that holds that the state is not the only agent of censorship.
The thirteen contributors here explore the topic of censorship from the viewpoint of numerous disciplines and viewpoints.
