Censorship and the Limits of the Literary: A Global View de Nicole Moore

Censorship and the Limits of the Literary: A Global View

Editat de Nicole Moore
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 26 aug 2015
Though literature and censorship have been conceived as long-time adversaries, this collection seeks to understand the degree to which they have been dialectical terms, each producing the other, coeval and mutually constitutive. On the one hand, literary censorship has been posited as not only inescapable but definitive, even foundational to speech itself. One the other, especially after the opening of the USSR'sspekstrahn, those enormous collections of literature forbidden under the Soviets, the push to redefine censorship expansively has encountered cogent criticism. Scholars describing the centralised control of East German print publication, for example, have wanted to insist on the difference of pre-publication state censorship from more mundane forms of speech regulation in democracies. Work on South African apartheid censorship and book banning in colonial countries also demonstrates censorship's formative role in the institutional structures of literature beyond the metropole.Censorship and the Limits of the Literaryexamines these and other developments across twelve countries, from the Enlightenment to the present day, offering case studies from the French revolution to Internet China. Is literature ever without censorship? Does censorship need the literary? In a globalizing era for culture, does censorship represent the final, failed version of national control?

Recenzii

[A] remarkable collection ... The strength of this book lies in its range of research, with twelve nation states across four centuries being explored ... An important contribution to the scholarship, providing a wealth of original and engaging research.
[An] ambitious project ... [The contributions] provide a unique and carefully-orchestrated insight into the critical directions they emulate.
Nicole Moore, an expert on censorship, has put together a remarkable collection of erudite and thoroughly researched case studies that bust open prevailing ideas about the history of censorship since the Enlightenment. Tracking the course of subversive writing-from pamphleteering to jumping the Great Firewall-these essays survey four centuries of state efforts to squelch literary expression in Europe, America, Asia and Australia. From theancien régimeto the Arab Spring, collectively the authors survey twelve national stages to argue that the dance of literature and censorship presents a complex performance that at once sequesters and encourages suspicious relations between the state and its discontents. Whether overt or "soft" and self-imposed, censorship imbricates the law and art, casting itself as crucial to the invention of literature as a concept. Censorship exceeds the usual suspects: prigs, prudes, priests, police. It's very elusiveness a sign of its debt to literary thinking.
This stimulating collection explores the ways literature and censorship can be mutually constitutive, rather than straightforwardly opposing forces. Contributors examine the dialectic of literature and censorship in contexts ranging from ancient regime France to apartheid South Africa, from the Dutch East Indies to East Germany, from Regency England to contemporary Egypt. Nicole Moore's excellent introduction synthesizes the insights of recent work in the field and marks out future possibilities.
