Synopsis
Confronting the issue of the unacceptable as a social category, this fascinating collection of international essays, now available in paperback, provides distinctive perspectives on the theme of what is deemed socially acceptable. The authors reveal the ways in which the category of the unacceptable reflects sexual, racial and political fault lines of a society, exploring fields including censorship, pornography, free speech and hate speech, moral panics, drug culture, social policy and power, fears surrounding paedophilia and the family, gay marriage, childhood sexuality, smoking, and the representation of criminal or transgressive behaviour.

Review
The unacceptable tempts and tests us with new possibilities and unimaginable horrors. This fraught combination of creativity and destructiveness remains the perilous fault line where the most telling cultural tensions reveal themselves. Neither quick to condemn nor seduced by easy enthusiasm, this bold collection takes up the challenge of the theory and practice of the unacceptable, significantly advancing our understanding of the shifting limits of what we are allowed to think, say and be.' - Nick Mansfield, author of Masochism: the Art of Power , Theorizing War and The God Who Deconstructs Himself .
Book Description
