Abstract:
There is something extraordinarily evocative about great fiction or literary narratives by great writers of fiction on the theme of coercive authority. The celebrated South Asian Urdu essayist and short story writer Saadat Hasan Manto (1912-1955) belongs to a long tradition of highly gifted authors who had the occasion of personally encountering and confronting the cumbersome machinations and the at times mindless and oppressive logic of authority. Like other eminent writers of his ilk, his reflections on his experiences – Manto underwent several criminal trials for allegedly obscene writing – have left posterity with much more than the irate chronicles of someone confounded by an exhausting personal ordeal. We are bequeathed instead with a wealth of deep, astute, and compelling observations of a keen-eyed, sensitive, and articulate man – observations that continue to hold great relevance and wide appeal so many decades later. This article endeavours to capture Manto’s unique critique of imposed legal frameworks for ‘acceptable’ creative expression, as well as his memorable picturization of the spectacle of the legal trial in colonial and post-colonial contexts.

Abstract:
‘Now firmly established as a modernist novelist’, D. H. Lawrence (1885–1930) remains a controversial writer, especially for the ambiguity of his attitudes to fascism and feminism. This essay considers the role played by the then forty-one-year-old bishop of Woolwich, John Robinson, in offering evidence for the defence in the Old Bailey trial in 1960 which acquitted Penguin Books of obscenity in publishing Lawrence’s novel Lady Chatterley’s Lover. In taking part in the trial Robinson acquired notoriety (or credit). His public admiration for Lawrence’s writing placed him at odds with the two postwar archbishops, Geoffrey Fisher (Canterbury) and Cyril Garbett (York). In the words of Mark Roodhouse in a pioneering article, ‘for ecclesiastical historians the Lady Chatterley trial not only reveals changing social attitudes but also growing division within the Church of England between “two Christianities” over the way to respond to these changes’. Robinson did not receive further advancement in the Church.

Abstract:
Inadvertent access to website addresses and spam e-mails continue to make pornography rampant on the Internet in schools, homes, and libraries. Collectively, parents, teachers, and members of the community must become more aware of the risks and consequences of open access to the Internet, and the distinction between censorship and Internet access filtering. Parental involvement is crucial for raising children with healthy Internet habits to access social and educational materials. Although generations have coped with different times and trials, technology is ushering in new trials. Parents and communities cannot ignore the present and future technology ingrained into the lives of children. This paper contends that parents armed with legislation and technological security devices for access to the Internet ought to strengthen the character of online Internet safety. The discussion is focused on the roles that parents, communities, technology, and laws should play in order to protect children from obscene and pornographic threats from cyberspace. It is argued that the roles of education and technology should outweigh the legislative interventions of governments. A critique of significant litigations and laws on obscenity and pornography is presented. The paper offers a variety of security tools and techniques for protecting children from Internet access to obscene and pornographic materials. The impacts of pornographic materials on the welfare of children, adolescents, women, and families are discussed.

Full text
Abstract:
In spring 1957 the Juvenile Division of the San Francisco Police Department seized copies of Howl and charged the poem's publisher, Lawrence Felinghetti, with obscenity. Tried in summer 1957 and defended by the American Civil Liberties Union, Ferlinghetti was exonerated by a District Court judge. Scholars typically place the Howl trial at the beginning of a cultural and social revolution that flourished in the 1960s or place it amid the personal lives and rebellions of the actors composing the Beat Generation. However, these treatments do not fully consider the ways the prosecution reflected trends in law, shaped debates over juvenile delinquency, and amplified distinctions between legal censorship and public censuring. This paper situates the Howl prosecution amid the regulation of comics, rock music, motion pictures, narcotics in postwar America, to tell a story about California, conservatism, radicalism, and censorship in the Cold War Era.

Abstract:
Criminal acts of obscenity are all acts related to life in the sexual field which are considered to violate the norms of decency or decency. The problem of sexual abuse on campuses or universities is no longer a secret, this is evidenced by the many reports circulating about sexual abuse in educational settings, especially universities. This study aims to find out about the judge's considerations and find out how material criminal law in Indonesia is applied to the crime of obscenity based on decision number 732 / Pid.b / 2019 / PN.Tjk, using the Normative Juridical research method. Whereas from the results of this study, the first panel of judges in deciding or adjudicating a case must make judgments by taking into account the facts of the trial, both through the statements of witnesses, expert witnesses, statements of the accused, evidence, confessions and oaths, in addition to the elements in the article. whether the accused has been fulfilled or not and also the judge's consideration must include juridical, philosophical and sociological considerations, the judge must also look at what is aggravating and what is mitigating. In decision No. 732 / Pid.b / 2019 / PN.Tjk the judge in making the decision was not fair enough and not right by trying the defendant with 1 (one) year's imprisonment. The application of material criminal law to cases of criminal acts of obscenity in the decision of the Tanjung Karang District Court Number 732/Pid. B /2019/ PN.Tjk is correct and in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations. Considering that the indictment must meet several conditions, namely formal and material requirements. The formal requirements include the defendant's biodata and the material must have a locus or place and tempo or time of incident.

Abstract:
In 1974 the British Board of Film Censors refused to grant a certificate to the Swedish documentary More About the Language of Love (Mera ur Kärlekens språk, 1970, Torgny Wickman, Sweden: Swedish Film Production), due to its explicit sexual content. Nevertheless, the Greater London Council granted the film an ‘X’ certificate so that it could be shown legally in cinemas throughout the capital. This article details the trial against the cinema manager and owners, after the film was seized by police under the charge of obscenity, and explores the impact on British arguments around film censorship, revealing a range of attitudes towards sex and pornography. Drawing on archival records of the trial, the widespread press coverage as well as participants’ subsequent reflections, the article builds upon Elisabet Björklund’s work on Swedish sex education films and Eric Schaefer’s scholarship on Sweden’s ‘sexy nation’ reputation to argue that the Swedish films’ transnational distribution complicated tensions between educational and exploitative intentions in a particularly British culture war over censorship.

Abstract:
This study deals with the Supreme Court decision in the case of Miller v. California, 413 U.S. 15 (1973). The study analyzes the arguments presented in the decision by both the majority and the dissenting justices according to the Toulmin model. This study begins with a review of viewpoints on the First Amendment, and how they will be applied to the question addressed in the thesis. The history of the obscenity controversy is detailed to explain the viewpoints that the Supreme Court has taken dealing with this problem. This study concluded that the arguments presented by the majority were not supported by ample evidence. The arguments presented by Justice Douglas in the dissent were more justified. This study concludes that more study needs to be conducted in the area of obscenity; and that the material should not be suppressed.

Full text
Abstract:
This study looks at the relationship between the obscenity trial over Allen Ginsberg's poem "Howl" and the conservative Cold War culture of the 1950s that it criticized. "Howl" emerged in a broader context of a cultural transition, involving music, film and literature. Moreover, the poem was tried and freed just months after the Supreme Court rewrote literary obscenity law and made "redeeming social importance" its primary test. Concerns about the deleterious effect of cultural items were manifest in the debates over juvenile delinquency. The media, who initially supported "Howl's" First Amendment right to speech, was subsequently critical of the counter culture that the poem symbolized and engaged in an extra judicial public censoring of that culture. Although censorship efforts failed to silence "Howl", the repressive cultural agenda of the domestic Cold War American media in the 1950s operated to powerful effect.

Abstract:
This chapter introduces the concept of obscenity trials. Mervyn Griffith-Jones is known for his self-inflicted wound amidst the Lady Chatterley's Lover trial which prosecuted Penguin Books for publishing D. H. Lawrence's novel thirty years after his passing. Moreover, English obscenity law bore the imprint of Victorian debates about literacy and citizenship. The Lady Chatterley's Lover trial's synthesis of democratization and deference unraveled after ten years as it was under attack by a new cohort of morals campaigners. Activists played an outsized part in the politics of censorship. The chapter indicates how the title will focus on offensive publications crystallizing questions of culture, freedom, and order for censors and their opponents, jurists, artists, and ordinary people.

Abstract:
The second chapter explores what was possible in the wake of mid-century rulings by the Warren Court that expanded Constitutional protections for transgressive literary works. This chapter contrasts Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye and Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow, which were published just a few years apart and which both address the ramifications of World War II. The Bluest Eye is frequently challenged when it appears on high-school reading lists, while Pynchon's novel is hardly ever taught, rendering it comparatively uncontroversial, though close analysis reveals serious concerns about its content that parallel the ones most frequently cited in challenges to The Bluest Eye. What makes Morrison's novel more prone to controversy is that it is has a prominent place in classrooms for multiple reasons the chapter examines, and this helps to show the impact of schools as a locus of obscenity challenges after the trials of the 1950s and '60s, while also demonstrating that the benefits and burdens of obscenity controversies are distributed unequally.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract This chapter examines the construction of erotic complicity in a saucy magazine called Don Juan (1895–1900). It shows how the review’s editorial interjections, writing competitions, and surveys framed the reading experience as seductive and collaborative, while blurring the boundary between acceptable and illicit forms of sexual expression. By analysing a range of illustrations and front-page columns, it considers how the review combined voyeuristic titillation with subversive sexual politics, simultaneously objectifying women and promoting neo-Malthusian, individualist, and radical feminist viewpoints. Like the sex shop ‘Maison A. Claverie’, Don Juan facilitated sexual freedom by producing erotic ephemera. Examining the obscenity trials against both businesses reveals fin-de-siècle concerns about female sexual pleasure and ‘inappropriate’ reading material. Such material included the review’s small ad column, which offered readers vicarious thrills and businesses the opportunity to place indirect advertising (‘réclame’) for sex-related products. Close analysis of the page layout and irony in veiled advertising suggests that the cross-pollination between advertising and art in Don Juan was self-reflexive and creative.

Abstract:
This chapter covers Lady Chatterley's Lover Trial. The 1960 Penguin Books trial was a contest over the authority of a patrician elite that Mervyn Griffith-Jones personified. Griffith-Jones' infamous question about wives and servants discredited class-based variable obscenity. The contemporary efforts to reform the laws of divorce, homosexuality, and obscene publications were spearheaded by liberalizing elites challenging traditions important for their class. Raymond Williams and Richard Hoggart became influential interpreters of contemporary Britain while being also testimony to the heft of literary criticism in the mid-twentieth century. D. H. Lawrence's novels had a profound influence on Leavisite thinking about life under “industrial society.”

Abstract:
This chapter tackles the underground press. It starts with the Oz trial wherein it bore some resemblance to the Lady Chatterley trial. The Oz trial was the longest obscenity trial in British history since Oz's editor, Richard Neville, represented himself. The parade of witnesses brought by Neville and John Mortimer made the argument that kids should be understood instead of criticized despite their manners, sexuality, attitude to authority, and drug experimentation. Moreover, the Oz editors insisted that they were not pornographers. On the other hand, the complaints against Oz reflected the recent widening of the scope of obscenity to encompass non-sexual varieties of supposedly antisocial behavior.

Abstract:
This chapter looks into the work of liberal reformers. The trial of Penguin Books quickly became a symbol of the decline of establishment authority. Campaigns for and against censorship would involve more actors than the campaign that resulted in the Obscene Publications Act. Moreover, neofascist and racist leaflets and posters emerged as a concern after the race riots of 1958. Thus, the Labour Party outlawed incitement to racial hatred to curb discrimination in places of public resort. The decriminalization of sexual acts between men also impacted arguments about censorship. The chapter also tackles the Freedom of Vision's teach-in wherein Labour MP Ben Whitaker declared censorship was an infringement of human liberty.

Abstract:
This chapter investigates the intersection of the aesthetic prohibition of the disgusting with the development of modern obscenity law and the regulation of sexuality. It turns to the passage of the Obscene Publications Act in order to scrutinize the historical moment when the domain of the law came into contact with and absorbed certain aspects of the aesthetics of disgust. What, the chapter asks, did the law take from the aesthetic domain, and specifically from the aesthetics of disgust, in codifying the obscene as a statutory offense? It also examines how are we to understand the transfer of aesthetic conceptions of judgment and of the relationship of feeling to discourse into what would seem to be an incompatible juridical framework. Ultimately, the chapter analyses how the pollution model of obscenity arose in the context of Henry Vizetelly's trial for the translation and publication of Zola in 1888, as well as in Hardy's writings on iconoclasm in Jude the Obscure.

Abstract:
This chapter looks at the compositional genesis of Ulysses, its early production history, and the circumstances by which the editors of the Little Review became embroiled in a trial in New York in February 1921. The composition of Joyce’s text is discussed in detail, from the moments of conception through to April 1921, when Joyce realized that the Little Review serialization would not continue, and made arrangements for the publication of his work in volume form with Sylvia Beach’s Parisian bookshop, Shakespeare and Company. The trial of the Little Review editors—on the grounds of the putative obscenity of the last instalment of chapter 13 (‘Nausicaa’)—is also discussed in detail. In particular the chapter looks at the sexual politics of the trial, including the homophobia of John Quinn, the lawyer who gave significant financial support to both Joyce and the Little Review.
