In this seminar we shall be tracing the British and American experience with texts that caused offence and outrage; considering the meaning of terms such as "pornography" and "obscenity"; and looking at how censorship worked in practice. Among the controversial topics that we may be dealing with are sex (James Joyce's Ulysses, D. H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover, Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita, Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer, John Cleland's Fanny Hill - Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure); drugs (William Burroughs's The Naked Lunch, Alexander Trocchi's Cain's Book, the film Trainspotting); violence (Edward Bond's Saved, Hubert Selby's Last Exit to Brooklyn, the film A Clockwork Orange); nudity (Oh, Calcutta!); anarchy (Oz 28, The Little Red Schoolbook); and religion (Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses, James Kirkup's The Love That Dares to Speak Its Name). |
