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.
