First published in 1988. This book shows how censorship as a set of institutions; practices and discourses was involved in the struggle over the nature of cinema in the early twentieth century. It also reveals the part played in this struggle by other institutions; practices and discourses mdash; for example lsquo;newrsquo; knowledge about sexuality and organisations devoted to the promotion of public morality. Instead of censorship simply being an act of prohibition by a special institution; this work reveals the issues at work were far more complex and contradictory mdash; opening up critical scrutiny and challenging assumptions. This title will be of interest to students of media and film studies.
