Contemporary forms of censorship
Type de matériel :
53
New forms of censorship in art are characterized by several features. First, by the fact that censors are no longer institutions like the State or the Church, but associations (feminist, LGBTQI+, antispeciesist, decolonial, etc.), which may be groups or even more or less ephemeral small groupings. Finally, the site of censorship is no longer the court, but the media; social networks (Facebook and others), websites, and newspapers exert strong pressure ranging from intimidation to lynching. The blurred, half-legal, half-social zone where these new forms of censorship are exercised raises many questions.
