The Law of Obscenity and Pornography
Author: Margaret C. Jasper
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 9780195386172
Category : Obscenity (Law)
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
From the Publisher: The law of obscenity has evolved considerably since the first cases appeared in the courts. Most of these legal changes are the direct result of shifts in industry and cultural standards. The advent of the computer has presented new and novel issues to be addressed, as it is a difficult medium to monitor and control. In this legal almanac, Margaret C. Jasper explores all of the laws surrounding obscenity and pornography. This second edition outlines the evolution of the relevant case law, including constitutional considerations and the various tests that the U.S. Supreme Court has devised to balance the regulation of obscenity and the First Amendment right to free expression. The author also discusses the status of the current law, including the most recent legislation affecting materials available through the Internet and various on-line services, and the government's attempt to restrict material that is harmful to minors. New tools designed to help parents who are concerned about the availability of harmful subject matter in the media, including program blocking devices and ratings systems developed by the motion picture, television, music and videogame industries are also addressed. Related issues, such as child pornography, the relationship between pornography and violence along with the regulation of broadcast media by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) are included. A thorough Appendix provides resource directories, applicable statutes, and other pertinent information and data. The Glossary contains definitions of terms used throughout the almanac.

Degradation
Author: Kevin W Saunders
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 0814741452
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
Throughout history obscenity has not really been about sex but about degradation. Sexual depictions have been suppressed when they were seen as lowering the status of humans, furthering our distance from the gods or God and moving us toward the animals. In the current era, when we recognize ourselves and both humans and animals, sexual depiction has lost some of its sting. Its degrading role has been replaced by hate speech that distances groups, whether based on race, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation, not only from God but from humanity to a subhuman level. In this original study of the relationship between obscenity and hate speech, First Amendment specialist Kevin W. Saunders traces the legal trajectory of degradation as it moved from sexual depiction to hateful speech. Looking closely at hate speech in several arenas, including racist, homophobic, and sexist speech in the workplace, classroom, and other real-life scenarios, Saunders posits that if hate speech is today’s conceptual equivalent of obscenity, then the body of law that dictated obscenity might shed some much-needed light on what may or may not qualify as punishable hate speech.
