2002年，日本法院首次成功地以淫秽罪起诉了漫画书。在《审查的艺术》一书中，克尔斯滕·凯瑟追溯了这起案件是如何代表了战后日本历史上一长串耸人听闻的里程碑式淫秽审判中的最新一例。这些审判的对象包括《查泰莱夫人的情人》的高雅文学翻译、永井嘉夫等作家对江户时代色情文学“经典”的现代改编和再版、软核和硬核色情电影，包括一系列静态照片和大岛长井的《感官世界》的剧本，以及成人漫画。在每一种情况下，关键是为法律和文化建立一个新的等级制度，换句话说，决定宪法对言论自由的保障在多大程度上延伸到艺术、艺术家和观众。该作品借鉴了各种来源，包括审判记录和判决，文学和电影理论，法律的奖学金，以及艺术期刊和新闻界的辩论。通过结合对法律的案例的仔细分析和对文化、历史和政治背景的详细渲染，凯瑟展示了法律的论点是如何陷入更广泛的文化力量网络中的。她提供了一个原创的，跨学科的分析，展示了艺术和法律如何相互滋养，即使它们发生冲突，并展示了战后日本文化与法律，社会和政治之间的动态关系。审查的艺术将吸引那些有兴趣在文学和视觉研究，审查，以及影响研究的最新领域。它还将在战后时期的文化历史学家和所讨论的作品和流派的粉丝中找到广泛的读者群。
In 2002 a manga (comic book) was for the first time successfully charged with the crime of obscenity in the Japanese courts. In The Art of Censorship Kirsten Cather traces how this case represents the most recent in a long line of sensational landmark obscenity trials that have dotted the history of postwar Japan. The objects of these trials range from a highbrow literary translation of Lady Chatterley's Lover and modern adaptations and reprintings of Edo-period pornographic literary "classics" by authors such as Nagai Kafu to soft core and hard core pornographic films, including a collection of still photographs and the script from Oshima Nagisa's In the Realm of the Senses , as well as adult manga. At stake in each case was the establishment of a new hierarchy for law and culture, determining, in other words, to what extent the constitutional guarantee of free expression would extend to art, artist and audience. The work draws on diverse sources, including trial transcripts and verdicts, literary and film theory, legal scholarship, and surrounding debates in artistic journals and the press. By combining a careful analysis of the legal cases with a detailed rendering of cultural, historical, and political contexts, Cather demonstrates how legal arguments are enmeshed in a broader web of cultural forces. She offers an original, interdisciplinary analysis that shows how art and law nurtured one another even as they clashed and demonstrates the dynamic relationship between culture and law, society and politics in postwar Japan. The Art of Censorship will appeal to those interested in literary and visual studies, censorship, and the recent field of affect studies. It will also find a broad readership among cultural historians of the postwar period and fans of the works and genres discussed.
