Synopsis

Art and the Dynamics of Circulation, Suppression, and Censorship, which represents a significant contribution to the literature on art censorship, is varied in terms of subjects, authorial voices, and disciplinary methods. At issue are governmental restrictions and discursive effects, such as erasure and distortion resulting from institutional policies, interpretive methods, and canonical processes. Considerations range from death and violence to race, sexuality, disability, immigration, labor, and cultural destruction/re-construction. Geographic focus includes Africa, Argentina, China, Germany, Mexico, the Middle East, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The text models a shift in how censorship is discursively framed, as contributors consider shifting contexts, values, and constituent needs through which contested works of art move into and out of circulation and point to the complexities involved in assessing determinants and consequences.
