Offensiveness, Sensitivity and Free Expression in Britain, c. 1960-2001.

该项目探讨了1960年至2001年间英国的言论自由、冒犯性、淫秽和敏感等主题。通过分析关于审查和冒犯性的流行辩论、陈述和叙述，本文将阐明对这些问题的社会态度如何以及为什么随着时间的推移而转变和改变。这将通过以一种全新的方式来处理这个话题，将不同“类型”的攻击性材料和不同的媒介交叉起来。在这样做的过程中，它将提供重要和相关的背景，以及一种新的方式来构建围绕过去几年在英国发生的这些问题的新一轮辩论。

This project explores the themes of freedom of expression, offensiveness, obscenity and sensitivity in Britain from 1960 to 2001. By analysing popular debates, representations and narratives of censorship and offensiveness, this thesis will illuminate how and why societal attitudes towards these issues shifted and changed over time. This will be done by approaching the topic in a fresh way, intersecting different 'types' of offensive material and different mediums. In doing so it will provide important and relevant context as well as a new way of framing the renewed debate around these issues that has occurred in Britain over the past few years.
