Full textAbstract:
Censorship has traditionally been understood as a way for dictators to silence opposition. By contrast, this article develops and tests the theory that certain forms of censorship—in particular, prohibitions on popular culture—serve not only to limit political information but also to reward dictators’ supporters. Using text analysis of all 8,000 films reviewed for distribution during Chile’s dictatorship, I demonstrate that rather than focusing only on sensitive political topics, censors banned movies containing content considered immoral. Through a combination of qualitative and quantitative evidence, I show that these patterns cannot be explained by masked political content, distributor self-censorship, or censor preferences. Instead, they reflect the regime’s use of censorship as a reward for supporters, particularly conservative Catholic groups. My findings suggest that even repressive measures can be used in part to maintain support for authoritarian regimes.

Abstract. The oeuvre of the recently deceased Chilean writer Pedro Lemebel (1952–2014) can be described as an expression for systematically persecuted, repressed, censored minoritarian voices, both during the Chile of the dictatorship, that is during the 1970s and 1980s, as well as afterwards, in democratic Chile, that is from the 1990s onwards. These voices build discourses where gender, class or ethnic identity become the narrative axis in Lemebel’s work. His novels, chronicles, performances and short stories have been extensively distributed by alternative media such as independent community- and Internet-based television and radio channels starting in the 1990s under the democratization period post-Pinochet. In this paper, I will analyze the construction of an idea of the author throughout the Lemebelian oeuvre. This author/narrator construction is related to Jon Helt Haarder’s concept of “performative biographism” to identify the set of interventions made by the author/creator in the reading process, i.e. those interferences created by the writer as a public persona and channeled through mass media that orient the reading process (Haarder 2007: 72–82). I am particularly interested in exploring how this figure of the author achieves credibility. I build the analysis mainly upon the concepts from cultural narratology, queer theory and postcolonial studies.

Full textAbstract:
In 1979, over two-thirds of Latin America's people were living under military rule. By 1993, however, not a single military regime remained in Central or South America or the Spanish-speaking Caribbean. Elected presidents (even if former generals, as in the case of Paraguay's first post-Stroessner government) and legislatures replaced military dictators and juntas. Foreign observers certified the “fairness” of elections in Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and Paraguay — even when outgoing military regimes permitted elections only after certain parties or candidates had been excluded from participation. Political parties and opponents of incumbent governments operated openly. Media censorship declined, and fewer cases of politically-motivated abuses of human rights were reported. “Democratization” seemed to be underway.

Full textAbstract:
This article is concerned with the recovery and discovery of conscious and unconscious meanings in the construction of the identity of the Human Resource Management (HRM) discipline at the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, Universidad de Chile. The article is based on a research exploring the role of collective memory in the construction of that identity, from its inception in 1958 until 2017. A socio-analytical approach was applied to understand the dynamics implied in the construction of the identity of HRM. The results of the research show the existence of silenced meanings about that construction as a consequence of an unconscious political memory operating at the faculty that restricted the access and understanding of unexamined institutional knowledge. Such censorship is thought to be associated with the transformations that occurred in Chilean society and the faculty before and after the coup d’état that took place in 1973.

Full textAbstract:
Internet censorship or internet content filtering is used to protect people from harmful materials, such as child pornography, as well as defamation and fraud, which are easily perpetrated on the internet. However, implementing censorship creates technical and social issues, such as over-blocking or false detection, decreased network performance, and freedom of speech. This paper describes internet content filtering approaches and technical difficulties to implementation. This paper also discusses censorship and freedom of speech with actual examples.

Full textAbstract:
The recent publication of proposed amendments to the Films and Publications Act 65 of 1996 drew some sharp criticism from the media. Some organisations described these amendments as, inter alia, unconstitutional, outrageous and as part of the erosion of freedom of speech, while the Department of Home Affairs defended the amendments as an attempt to protect children from potentially harmful and age-inappropriate material. This discussion briefly examines the historical development of censorship as well as the current classification process in South Africa, followed by a discussion of the proposed amendments as well as the reaction thereto. The conclusion is that the media maybe has overreacted with regard to some of the amendments and may not understand the effect of the current classification process, while some of their concerns with regard to some of the other amendments may be justified. The true challenge will be that all stakeholders have an honest discussion with each other and would have to try and strike a balance between the important right of the child to dignity as well as his right to not be exploited, and that of the freedom of speech. The printed media also will have to realise that it is the duty of all members of society to protect the rights of the child and there can be no reason as to why newspapers may be excluded from this duty.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the legal and governance issues presented by internet blocking (“filtering”) systems through the use of the United Kingdom’s Cleanfeed system as a national case study. The Cleanfeed system – which aims to block access to child abuse images – has been influential both domestically and internationally but has been the subject of relatively little sustained scrutiny in the literature. Using a mixed doctrinal and empirical methodology this work discusses the evolution of Cleanfeed and considers the way in which government pressure has led to a private body without any express legislative basis (the Internet Watch Foundation) being given the power to control what UK internet users can view. The thesis argues that the Cleanfeed system sits at the intersection of three distinct trends – the use of architectural regulation, regulation through intermediaries and self-regulation – which individually and collectively present significant risks for freedom of expression and good governance online. It goes on to identify and examine the fundamental rights norms and governance standards which should apply to internet blocking and tests the system against them, arguing in particular that Cleanfeed fails to meet the requirements developed by the European Court of Human Rights under Articles 6 and 10 ECHR. It considers the extent to which Cleanfeed might be made amenable to these principles through the use of judicial review or actions under the Human Rights Act 1998 and concludes that the diffuse structure of the system and the limited availability of horizontal effect against private bodies will leave significant aspects beyond the effective reach of the courts. This work also assesses claims that the Cleanfeed system is a proof of concept which should be extended so as to block other material considered objectionable (such as websites which “glorify terrorism”). It argues that the peculiar features of the system mean that it represents a best case scenario and does not support blocking of other types of content which are significantly more problematic. The thesis concludes by considering proposals for reform of the Cleanfeed system and the extent to which greater public law oversight might undermine the desirable features associated with self-regulation.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis advisor: Christina KleinThe cultural face of modern China is constantly changing, whether through economic reforms, political campaigns, or social values. The ultimate inheritors and current carriers of this society in flux is the current post socialist, post 1989 youth generation. This paper examines the cultural changes that are occurring in China through six documentary films made in the 21st century that focus on youth and young adults as the representatives of the issues that the directors explore. In two films, the issue of the Single Child Policy will be examined in terms of the social repercussions the policy has created for modern youth, including gender, ethnic, and class inequalities. In the next two films, the economic conditions that have produced millions of migrant examined as it relates to the changing family values in much of China. The last two films explore the consumer culture of today’s modern youth, and how this culture impacts the expressive output of this generation. I conclude through these films that although the youth of today have been irrevocably shaped by these, and other, cultural changes that have occurred during their lifetime, they are still most fundamentally influenced by the traditional values of Chinese culture including relationships, family, and collective expression

Full textAbstract:
Magister Educationis - MEdAn important aspect of my thesis is the discussion of the various narrators in the novel; Vladimir Nabokov, John Ray Jnr. and Humbert Humbert. The novel, or Humbert’s memoirs, is only published after Lolita has died in order to preserve her dignity. John Ray Jnr. is the psychologist who is charged with editing Humbert's memoirs to ensure that no lewd details are published. This brings problems of their own, as we find that John Ray Jnr. has clear moral perceptions of Humbert as a person. This effectively creates a fiction within a fiction, which is already set in the fictitious genre of the novel. Vladimir Nabokov arguably informs the novel with his own ethics and ethos. This interrogates the reliability of the narrators and calls into question the truth-value of fiction and the inappropriateness of the law to ban fiction that discusses taboo issues. The main aim of my thesis is to discredit Humbert as a reliable narrator and character by analysing the taboo issues of paedophilia, incest, rape and murder. This will be done in order to show how Nabokov proposes alternative morals by deconstructing traditional morality using taboo topics in fiction

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse se compose de trois articles de recherche empirique sur l'économie politique de la Chine. Le premier chapitre explique pourquoi la censure des médias varie au sein d'un pays autocratique. J'étudie la façon dont les journaux chinois rendent compte des fonctionnaires arrêtés lors de la campagne anti-corruption de Xi Jinping, en rassemblant près de 40,000 articles imprimés et les publications et commentaires correspondants dans les médias sociaux. Je montre que des individus sont plus enclins à rechercher et à commenter sur des fonctionnaires corrompus de leur propre province. Pourtant, malgré un plus grand intérêt des lecteurs, les journaux locaux sous-rapportent les scandales de corruption impliquant des hauts fonctionnaires de leur propre province. Lorsque les journaux rapportent sur la corruption dans leur propre province, ils minimisent ces scandales, en les rendant plus courtes, moins négatives et moins susceptibles de mentionner explicitement la corruption. De même, les journaux municipaux rapportent moins sur la corruption dans leur propre ville que dans d'autres villes de la même province, mais sont plus susceptibles de signaler la corruption au sein de leur gouvernement provincial. Ces résultats illustrent comment les conflits intergouvernementaux peuvent conduire à des stratégies de censure des médias divergentes par différents niveaux de gouvernement. Ce type de censure localisée peut réduire la responsabilité et imputabilité des gouvernements locaux.Le deuxième chapitre examine si les stéréotypes dans les médias de divertissement provoquent un sentiment négatif à l'égard des étrangers. Malgré des liens économiques étroits, le sentiment anti-japonais est élevé en Chine. Je rassemble des informations détaillées sur les émissions de télévision chinoises en 2012 et je documente qu'environ 20 pour cent de toutes les émissions diffusées aux heures de grande écoute étaient des dramatiques historiques qui se sont déroulées pendant l'occupation japonaise de la Chine. Pour identifier l'effet causal des médias, j'exploite les données à haute fréquence et la variation exogène de la probabilité de regarder des series de guerre sino-japonaises en raison des positions des chaînes et de la substitution entre des programmes similaires. Je montre que l'exposition à ces émissions de télévision conduit à une augmentation significative des manifestations antijaponaises et des discours de haine anti-japonais sur les médias sociaux en Chine. Ces effets sont attribuables à des émissions télévisées produites par des entreprises privées plutôt qu'à des émissions produites par l'État.Le troisième chapitre, co-écrit avec Paul Dutronc-Postel, illustre comment les incitations peuvent affecter les choix politiques des bureaucrates. Nous collectons les historiques de carrière des fonctionnaires de toutes les préfectures chinoises entre 1996 et 2014 et nous identifions l'effet causal des incitations en exploitant la variation ex ante du nombre de concurrents. Les cadres avec une cohorte initiale plus petite ont une plus grande probabilité de promotion. Cela les pousse à adopter une stratégie qui repose sur l'investissement immobilier et l'expropriation des terres rurales, et ce qui se traduit par une croissance plus rapide de la construction et du PIB. Nous présentons des preuves suggestives que les mêmes incitations entraînent une baisse des investissements dans des biens publics. Nous montrons que les expropriations de terres sont associées à des résultats négatifs pour les personnes expropriées, à des arrestations ultérieures de fonctionnaires locaux et à l'émergence de villes fantômesThis thesis consists of three empirical research papers on the political economy of China. The first chapter studies how conflict within an autocratic elite affects media content, while the second chapter shows how media content can in turn influence public opinion. The third chapter analyses the motivation and behaviour of individuals as they rise up the autocratic hierarchy.Chapter 1 offers an explanation for why media censorship varies within an autocratic country. I study how Chinese newspapers report about officials caught during Xi Jinping’s anti-corruption campaign, by collecting close to 40,000 articles in print and the corresponding social media posts and comments. I show that individuals are significantly more likely to search for and comment on news about corrupt officials from their own province. Yet, despite greater reader interest, local newspapers underreport corruption scandals involving high-level officials from their own province. Underreporting is greater when a newspaper does not rely on advertising revenue and a corrupt official is well connected. When newspapers do report on high-level corruption at home, they deemphasise these stories, by making them shorter, less negative and less likely to explicitly mention corruption. Similarly, city-level newspapers report less about corruption in their own city relative to other cities in the same province, but are more likely to report corruption within their provincial government than corresponding provincial newspapers. These results illustrate how intergovernmental conflict within an autocracy can lead to diverging media censorship strategies by different levels of government. I present suggestive evidence that this type of localised censorship can reduce the accountability of local governments.Chapter 2 investigates whether stereotypes in entertainment media promote negative sentiment against foreigners. Despite close economic ties, anti-Japanese sentiment is high in China. I assemble detailed information on Chinese TV broadcasts during 2012 and document that around 20 percent of all TV shows aired during prime time were historical TV dramas set during the Japanese occupation of China during World War II. To identify the causal effect of media on sentiment, I exploit high-frequency data and exogenous variation in the likelihood of viewing Sino-Japanese war dramas due to channel positions and substitution between similar programmes. I show that exposure to these TV shows lead to a significant increase in anti-Japanese protests and anti-Japanese hate speech on social media across China. These effects are driven by privately rather than state-produced TV shows.Chapter 3, co-authored with Paul Dutronc-Postel, illustrates how career incentives can affect bureaucrats' policy choices. We collect data on the career histories of the top bureaucrats of all Chinese prefectures between 1996 and 2014 and identify the causal effect of career incentives by exploiting variation in the ex ante competitiveness of promotions. Bureaucrats with a smaller starting cohort have a greater likelihood of promotion. This incentivises them to adopt a strategy that relies on real estate investment and rural land expropriation, resulting in faster growth in construction and GDP. We present suggestive evidence that the same incentives result in lower investment in education, public transport and health. We corroborate our findings using survey and remote sensing data, and show that land expropriations are associated with adverse outcomes for expropriated individuals, with subsequent arrests of local officials, and with the emergence of "ghost cities"

Full textAbstract:
Dans un pays comme la Chine, où fonctionne un régime politique de front unique du Parti communiste, le système médiatique est caractérisé par la propagande, la concordance des points de vue et le secret. Au fur et à mesure du développement d’Internet et des réseaux sociaux, les citoyens chinois, en particulier les jeunes, se sont saisis de cet espace public numérique pour échanger des opinions en tâchant de contourner les médias de masse dominants officiels. La mobilisation en ligne des citoyens suscite un nouveau phénomène socio-politique en Chine. Notre recherche porte sur les usages du Web par la génération post-80 et les représentations qui sous-tendent ses expressions et actions en ligne. En analysant soixante-neuf entretiens semi-directifs réalisés avec des internautes répartis en quatre catégories, nous avons observé leurs réactions vis-à-vis d’affaires publiques controversées. Nous avons particulièrement interrogé ces jeunes cyber-citoyens sur les quatre réactions possibles à la censure d’Internet : l’indifférence, le silence, l’autocensure, et surtout la résistance. Aujourd’hui, le cyberespace n’est pas seulement une plate-forme de propagande pour restaurer et maintenir l’autorité du Parti communiste, mais aussi un espace où les citoyens s’accordent ou s’opposent dans des conversations interminables en ligne et hors ligne. Cela peut pousser certaines organisations officielles ou non-gouvernementales à résoudre des problèmes sociaux et/ou politiques. Dans ce contexte, nous cherchons à analyser le rôle socio-politique de l’espace public numérique et à vérifier s’il pourrait être une variante de la sphère publique habermassienne et exercer une influence sur la démocratie électronique dans la Chine contemporaineIn China, the political regime is the united front, which supports, reinforces the leadership of the Communist Party and makes a media system characterised by secret, propaganda and unanimity of viewpoints. With the development of the Internet, Chinese citizens, especially the younger demographic, take advantage of the online public escape to express themselves and exchange ideas, by bypassing dominant mass media. The online mobilisation of Chinese citizens raises a new and interesting socio-political phenomenon. Therefore, our research will examine the web habits of the post-80's generation and to explore the representations that underly their online behaviour. From the analysis of semi-structured interviews carried out with 69 cyber citizens, which are classified by four categories, we observed their reactions to controversial public affairs. The analysis aims to identify four possible reactions to online censorship: indifferent attitudes, silence, self-censorship, and the resistance. It is noticeable that today cyberspace is not just a propaganda platform aimed at restoring and maintaining the Communist party’s authority, but also a wide-open space where citizens agree or disagree in endless controversies online and below the line. This may push some official or non-governmental organisations to solve social and/or political problems. In this context, we seek to analyse the socio-political role of the digital public space and to verify if it could be a variant of the Habermasian public sphere and influence e-democracy in contemporary China

Full textAbstract:
Cette étude à l’intersection entre pouvoir et espace porte sur le contrôle du cinéma par les autorités des concessions, l’intervention de pouvoirs concurrents dans le champ du cinéma et les activités de l’industrie cinématographique entre 1927 et 1943. Dans les années 1920, Shanghai, en particulier par ses concessions, devient la capitale du cinéma en Chine. En 1927, les autorités de la Concession internationale et celles de la Concession française établissent l’une après l’autre un système de censure cinématographique en prenant en compte l’expérience de leurs métropoles ou de leurs colonies et coopèrent entre elles dans sa mise en œuvre. Pour maintenir les bonnes mœurs et l’ordre public, les censeurs examinent les films en fonction de critères qui relèvent de la morale publique, de la prévention de la criminalité, de la sensibilité nationale ou du rapport avec la politique. Le cinéma en effet n’est pas seulement un outil de divertissement. Il devient aussi un enjeu de la lutte croissante entre les divers pouvoirs. Ainsi les autorités chinoises utilisent le nationalisme en manipulant l’émotion populaire et parviennent à orchestrer des mouvements de protestation « spontanée » pour s’emparer du droit de censure dans les concessions. Le Japon, acteur clé dans l’histoire moderne de la Chine, joue également un rôle dans ce tableau. Avec l’occupation du territoire chinois de Shanghai à partir de 1937, dans la mesure où l’armée japonaise considère le cinéma comme un outil de propagande, elle cherche à contrôler ce secteur. Les autorités des concessions doivent adapter leurs critères de censure au gré des mutations politiques, sociales et culturelles afin de préserver la stabilité sociale ainsi que leurs propres intérêts. Ces mesures ont une influence sur l’industrie du cinéma qui doit trouver un équilibre entre le contrôle exercé par divers pouvoirs et le marché. Une culture spécifique du cinéma s’est ainsi construite. Cette étude entend analyser à la fois l’évolution du système de censure cinématographique et son influence sur l’industrie cinématographique dans le contexte historique, culturel, ethnique, économique et politique de Shanghai entre 1927 et 1943This study at the crossroad of power and space focuses on the control of films the authorities of the foreign settlements implemented in Shanghai, the intervention of competing powers in the field of cinema and the activities of the film industry under their control between 1927 and 1943. In the 1920s, Shanghai, and particularly its settlements, became the capital of cinema in China. In 1927, the authorities of the International Settlement and the French Concession both established a system of film censorship that drew on the experience of their metropolitan states or their colonies and began to cooperate in its implementation. To maintain a sound moral environment and public order, the censors examined the films based on criteria such as morality, crime prevention, national sensitivity or politics. Movies were not only a means of entertainment, but also a major issue in the growing struggle among various authorities. In order to take hold of the right of censorship in settlements, the Chinese authorities took advantage of nationalism by manipulating popular emotion and succeeded in provoking campaigns of “spontaneous” protests. In such a context, Japan, a key player in modern Chinese history, also played an important role. After the occupation of the Chinese territory of Shanghai in 1937, the Japanese army, considering that movies were a means of propaganda, tried to control the film industry in Shanghai. The settlements’ authorities had to adapt their censorship criteria to political, social and cultural changes in order to maintain social stability and ensure their own interests. These measures influenced the film industry which had to find a balance between the control by various powers and market forces. A specific film culture thus emerged. This study aims at analysing both the evolution of the film censorship system and its influence on the film industry in the historical, cultural, ethnic, economic and political context of Shanghai between 1927 and 1943

Full textAbstract:
The dissertation thesis examines czech literary censorship after 1989. It presents a polemical addition to a monograph published one year earlier entitled V obecném zájmu [In the General Interest], which covered the same period. The main methodological resource is represented by the books of a British theatrologist Helen Freshwater, who based her inclusive model of censorship on the border crossing of hard and soft censorship. Moreover, she moved her emphasis on discourse as the main indicator of what is considered a censor´s intervention in a particular historical moment. The core of the thesis consists of four chapters, which on the basis of the original research examine the typical cases of censorship and related discourse. These chapters are included in a broader frame of a changing notion of censorship and political correctness in the discussed period. The chapter devoted to the banned skinhead music group Braník is based on the examination of the respective court´s files and the analysis of the changing notion of freedom of speech in the beginning of the 1990s. The chapter about the censorship of literature for children and youth is based on the comparison of various editions of books written by Bohumil Říha. Furthermore, the conditions are observed, under which the interventions to these new editions were identified as censorship. Censorship on internet is treated in the chapter devoted to the regulation of the virtual (literary) child pornography, while the chapter devoted to political correctness focuses on texts and paratexts of splatterpunk literature. This doctoral work should offer a complex picture of changing ways of censorship and thinking after 1989.

This chapter centers on child rights to access knowledge and entertainment of their choosing with the example of comics censorship in the 1940s and 1950s in particular, and a case study of resistance in Sheldon Mayer's comicbook series, Sugarand Spike, which was conceivedat the height of this controversy. Favoring evidence in letter columns, fan mail, and letters to the Senate Sub committee on Juvenile Delinquency protesting against censorship, the author demonstrates how protests for participation were for the most part ignored in the name of protecting minors. By utilizing archival materialas an indication of the reciprocity between comics creators and readers, the author demonstrates the capacity of many minors for democratic participation demonstrated within the medium and industry of comicbooks.

Full textAbstract:
The remake of Hitchcock’s 1934 film retained the title and certain key elements of the original, in which the child of a vacationing couple is kidnapped, including the climactic assassination attempt in Albert Hall. But the details of the story changed a great deal. The vacationing couple is American, not English, the kidnapped child is a boy, not a girl, and the wife, played by Doris Day, is a retired musical star rather than an expert marksman. The Production Code office, which had excised five minutes of a climactic gun battle from the original, had relatively few objections to the remake. Censors objected to the kidnapping of a young child, the suggestion that the child’s life might be in danger, and wanted to make it clear that the villain was only ‘posing’ as a minister, not actually a man of the cloth. Hitchcock easily accommodated these suggestions by raising the age of the child to eight and adjusting a few bits of dialogue, reflecting both the gradual weakening of the Code and the director’s increasing skill in dealing with censorship.

Full textAbstract:
Perils of Protection utilizes literary and historical parallels to identify a deep structure of protectionism that, through a history of privatizing childhood, has infact left minors increasingly isolated indwindling (and sometimes none xistent) social units such as "nuclear family," vulnerable to multiple in justices made possible by eroded or unrecognized participatory rights. Tracing the ideologies used to rationalize protective encroachment on child participation, the author links these shifts to premise shidden but in herent to industrial modernization, privatized property, and the nuclearized family. This pattern of oppressivelogic will be exposed in the varied contexts of "women and children first "policy in ship wrecks, geographic restriction through enclosing child spaces, abandonment practices, censorship, and medical consent. The authoral so highlights pervasivemotifs of chivalry, fragility, and manipulation through containment: ships in bottles, enclosures, islands, babies in boxes, baskets, playpens, and the "prison-houses" of language and pretense.

Children’s literature in Korea emerged in the early twentieth century under Japanese colonial rule. This literature was marked by what Korean writers called the child-heart, the conflation of nature and culture whose shaping and interaction was deeply implicated in colonial modernity. The Introduction argues that what made children’s literature possible was a combination of internal and external factors, including influences from Japan and educational and psychological theories of childrearing from the West. Children’s literature was recognized as important enough to warrant censorship, and as key to shaping ideologies of gender and politics. The movement of the child from the periphery of culture to the center and the interest in visual culture combined to produce a range of visually compelling magazines for children. Writers conveyed their visions of the past and present, and their future aspirations at a time of growing uncertainty about the fate of the Korean nation.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter is a revised version of a seminar paper given in the Australian National University in 1978, at the time when I was preparing the Childe entry for The Australian Dictionary of Biography (Allen 1979). Ann Turner, a Melbourne historian, was at the same time researching in the Australian Archives Office among First World War censorship reports compiled by the Australian Department of Defence, and had encountered a number of letters written to and by Childe, which she passed on to me. I am indebted to her for the time and trouble she took on my account. These letters are valuable for a number of reasons. They assist in reconstructing Childe’s movements and activities in Australia for the four years before he returned to Britain; they shed light on Childe’s relationship with other members of his family, and his alienation from them; they provide important insights into the Australian society of the period, with the generally left-wing contents more than balanced by the appended censorial minutes; more specifically they offer an intimate view of Childe’s political ideology and personality as a young man. Lacking these sources I had previously proposed (Allen 1967) that Childe’s Australian experience had directly influenced his later archaeological contributions. This chapter attempts to develop this theme further. The decision to write this paper has been triggered by the recent Antiquity editorial (March 1980) that reproduced a Childe letter that removes the last doubt that Childe took his own life. It is clear from this editorial that there is wide interest in Childe, his works, and their inspiration. As well, however, Childe reiterates in this letter the dissatisfaction with Australian society that he expressed elsewhere shortly before his death: ‘I like Australian society much less than European without believing I can do anything to better it; for I have lost faith with all my old ideals.’ I contend that this loss of faith can be traced to his Australian experiences between 1917 and 1921. In ‘Retrospect’, Childe’s apologia pro vita sua published in Antiquity in 1958, in the year following his death, Childe dismissed his return to Australia some forty years earlier in a single phrase as a ‘sentimental excursion into Australian politics’.

Full textAbstract:
The concluding chapter addresses ways in which the novel as genre has provoked and stimulated cognate activities outside its normative parameters as literary genre. These are registered most recently in the exorbitant rise of the “graphic novel.” This chapter goes back more than half a century to an earlier graphic format, the comic book, particularly the transformational treatment of novels in the Classics Illustrated publishing series from 1941 into the 1960s. The focus is on debates about mass culture in the Cold War setting of congressional committee investigations of juvenile delinquency and the comic book craze. A conspicuous feature of cultural preoccupations was with the status of the classic, on the one hand (epitomized in the Great Books publishing enterprise), and lowbrow dissemination of existing “classics” in comic book format. A full-scale assault on comics by psychiatrist Fredric Wertham was instrumental in chastening the industry into self-censorship. Ironically, the pedagogic claims behind Classics Illustrated were highlighted as a threat to the supposedly innocent “mind of the child,” revealing an abiding split between the cultural eminence accorded the classic and the aptitude of the target audience. The audience as consumer had been the commercial engine behind the rise of the novel, but the specter of the innocent child now conflated cultural symbolism with political agendas. We’ve inherited the trauma of that moment in the form of “political correctness” and “cancel culture,” with old (and new) novels continuing to be singled out as affronts to public decency, malignant records of bygone traumas, or obstreperous reminders of an imaginative fertility in the human imagination that won’t go away.

Full textAbstract:
In this article we analyze, within the context of the decades between 1940 and 1960, children’s art exhibits as a strategy for asserting the importance of Art in educating and developing a child’s personality, using newspaper articles, pictures, children’s drawings, reports and other institutional documents as sources. The artistic vanguards of the early 20th century, advocates of the artist’s self expression, and the acknowledgement – by Psychology and Pedagogy – of the specificities of being a child have resulted both in the defense of the child’s freedom of artistic expression, and in a renewal of Art and education concepts of that period of time. As of the mid ‘40s, children’s art caught UNESCO’s attention because it represented potential integration and fraternity among people and the desire to build a new Man. Such exhibits acted as showcases for several ideas and justified the importance of children’s art involving, in the Brazilian context, from governmental agencies to national newspapers and private companies. Aiming at inculcating an educational conduct based on assumptions such as the unrestricted freedom of children’s creative spirit they had, as a contradiction, the censorship of themes considered unsuitable such as violence, and the need to follow a pre-defined esthetic standard.
