There are two forms of “censorship”: institutional censorship, recognized as such by an institution, such as the State or the Church, and practiced in France for movies until the 1970s; an accusatory censorship, which developed largely from May 68 onward and in the wake of the disappearance of institutional censorship, and which has been theorized especially by Pierre Bourdieu, Jacques Derrida, and Judith Butler. However, in France there remains a “classification” of movies at the beginning of the 21st century conducted by the State, and it is hardly compatible with theories of the accusatory censorship.
