List Of Authors And Works On The Index Librorum Prohibitorum
This is a selected list of authors and works listed on the ''Index Librorum Prohibitorum''. The ''Index'' was discontinued on June 14, 1966 by Pope Paul VI. A complete list of the authors and writings present in the subsequent editions of the index are listed in J. Martinez de Bujanda, ''Index Librorum Prohibitorum, 1600–1966'', Geneva, 2002. The Index includes entries for single or multiple works by an author, all works by an author in a given genre or dealing with a given topic. The scope of the prohibition is defined by a Latin phrase in the Index: * ''Omnia opera dramatica'': all plays * ''Omnes fabulae amatoriae'': all novels, or romances * ''Opera omnia theologica'': all theological works * ''Opera omnia'': all works (see note below) The Index includes entries banning ''all'' works of a particular writer. Most of these were inserted in the Index at a time when the Index itself stated that the prohibition of someone's "opera omnia" (all his works) did not cover works whos ...

List Of Books Banned By Governments
Banned books are books or other printed works such as essays or plays which are prohibited by law or to which free access is not permitted by other means. The practice of banning books is a form of censorship, from political, legal, religious, moral, or (less often) commercial motives. This article lists notable banned books and works, giving a brief context for the reason that each book was prohibited. Banned books include fictional works such as novels, poems and plays and non-fiction works such as biographies and dictionaries. Since there are a large number of banned books, some publishers have sought out to publish these books. The best-known examples are the Parisian Obelisk Press, which published Henry Miller's sexually frank novel ''Tropic of Cancer'', and Olympia Press, which published William Burroughs's ''Naked Lunch''. Both of these, the work of father Jack Kahane and son Maurice Girodias, specialized in English-language books which were prohibited, at the time, ...

Book Censorship In China
Book censorship in the People's Republic of China (PRC) is implemented or mandated by the PRC's unique ruling party, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and is currently widespread in China. Enforcement is strict and sometimes inconsistent. Punishment for violations can be arbitrary many times leading to long sentences for crimes against censorship laws. The CCP and the government have historically been sensitive to any opinions on the politics and history of China and its leaders that differ from currently sanctioned opinions. In the 2010s, book censorship spread from mainland China to Hong Kong. The CCP's handling of the censorship of media and literature has been scrutinized by countries and groups around the world. The CCP's actions have also resulted in actions of defiance in Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. History Book censorship has been a method used by China since the start of the Qin dynasty (221 to 206 BC). Both domestic and foreign books which do not meet the ...

List Of Books Banned In New Zealand
Book censorship has existed in New Zealand since the colonial period. Initially the majority of book censorship was carried out by the Customs Department, which had the authority to refuse entry to books considered indecent. As time went on more branches of government became involved with book censorship including the police, Post Office, courts, Executive Council, Cabinet, and the Department of Justice. During the First and Second World War, there was significant censorship of literature considered seditious or otherwise contrary to the war effort. In 1963 the book censorship system was reformed. All previous restrictions on books were lifted and the Indecent Publications Tribunal was created, the first organization in New Zealand whose primary purpose was book censorship. Before this, there was no requirement for lists of banned books to be made public. By the end of the 1960s, the Tribunal had banned three books and almost 3000 comics and magazines. The Indecent Publicati ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Book Censorship In The Republic Of Ireland
Book censorship was carried out in several instances in Ireland between 1929 and 1998, with all remaining bans from that period having expired by 2010. However, the laws remained on the statute books and a book was banned again in 2016. Censorship was enacted by a 1929 act of the Irish Free State.

The Censorship of Publications Acts of 1929 followed, and established the Censorship of Publications Board. Books could be banned that were considered to be indecent or obscene, as could newspapers whose content relied too much on crime, and works that promoted the "unnatural" prevention of conception or that advocated abortion.''Iris Oifigúil'', 14 May 1930 Ireland's culture at the time was strictly religious.

Book Censorship In The United States
Book censorship is the removal, suppression, or restricted circulation of literary, artistic, or educational material – of images, ideas, and information – on the grounds that these are morally or otherwise objectionable according to the standards applied by the censor. Censorship is "the regulation of speech and other forms of expression by an entrenched authority".Miller, Cynthia J. "Censorship." ''Culture Wars in America: An Encyclopedia of Issues, Viewpoints, and Voices'', edited by Chapman, Roger and James Ciment, Routledge, 2013. The overall intent of censorship, in any form, is to act as "a kind of safeguard for society, typically to protect norms and values ..censorship suppresses what is considered objectionable from a political, moral, or religious standpoint." The Marshall University Libraries, which conduct research on banned books in the United States, have defined a banned book as one that has been "removed from a library, classroom, etc." and a challenged book ...
