Were the protestors right to have protested? What about the Danish cartoons? Is giving offence simply about the right to freedom of expression, and what is really happening when people take offence? Using case studies of a number of Muslim-related freedom of speech controversies surrounding (in)famous, controversial texts such as The Satanic Verses, The Jewel of Medina, the Danish cartoons of Muhammed and the film Submission by Theo van Gogh, this book examines the moral questions raised by such controversies, questions that are often set aside at the time, such as whether the authors and artists involved were right to have done what they did and whether those who protested against them were right to have responded in such a way. In so doing, it argues that the giving and taking of offence are political performances that struggle to define and re-define freedom, and suggests that any attempt to establish a language of inter-cultural communication appropriate to multicultural societies is an ethical as opposed to merely political or legal task, involving dialogue and negotiation over fundamental values and principles. Overall, this important book constitutes a sustained critique of liberal arguments for freedom of speech, in particular of the liberal discourse that took shape in response to the Rushdie controversy and has, in the twenty-five years since, become almost an orthodoxy for many intellectuals, artists, journalists and politicians living and working in Britain (and elsewhere in the West) today."-- Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Rushdie, Salman. $t Satanic verses. 650 0 $a Islam and literature. 650 0 $a Freedom of speech in literature. 650 0 $a Freedom of the press $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Freedom of the press $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Literature and society. 650 0 $a Censorship. 650 0 $a East and West in literature. 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM $x Books & Reading. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM $x Indic. $x Indic. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a PHILOSOPHY $x Ethics & Moral Philosophy. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a RELIGION $x General. $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x Islamic Studies. $2 bisacsh 630 07 $a Satanic verses (Rushdie, Salman) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01374831 650 7 $a Censorship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00850568 650 7 $a East and West in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901093 650 7 $a Freedom of speech in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00934060 650 7 $a Freedom of the press. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00934063 650 7 $a Islam and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00979875 650 7 $a Literature and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000096 600 17 $a Rushdie, Salman, $d 1947-. $t The satanic verses. $0 (DE-588)4217070-9 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Literatur. $0 (DE-588)4035964-5 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Islam. $0 (DE-588)4027743-4 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Meinungsfreiheit. $0 (DE-588)4038463-9 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Pressefreiheit. $0 (DE-588)4047160-3 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Zensur. $0 (DE-588)4067601-8 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Kulturkontakt. $0 (DE-588)4033569-0 $2 gnd 651 7 $a Westliche Welt. $0 (DE-588)4079237-7 $2 gnd 648 7 $a 1900 - 2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Ebook version $z 9781137466082 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180116023639.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826104024.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3A94B00AC17411E49647BAD4DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
