{"product_id":"irish-film-censorship-kevin-rockett-9781851828449","title":"Irish Film Censorship: A Cultural Journey from Silent Cinema to Internet Pornography","description":"This book maps the history of Irish film censorship from its origins in the 1910s, through to the all-encompassing Censorship of Films Act 1923, the more liberal implementation of screening policies from the late 1960s onwards, and present-day concerns about media proliferation and distribution. Its main focus is on the 1920-70 period, when Irish film censors banned 3,000 films and cut an additional 10,000. The role of political censorship and its effect on television and cinema is examined, as are the more contemporary issues of video classification and debates around the internet and child pornography. Through the examination of over 18,000 of the censors decisions, Kevin Rockett provides an invaluable insight into the cultural geography of Ireland. - Choice Outstanding Academic Title 2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kevin Rockett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1851828443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781851828449\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Four Courts Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Kevin Rockett","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065858797823,"sku":"9781851828449","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1c8421bf-50d7-4b05-9e1c-96dda5bd598a.jpg?v=1768677717","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/irish-film-censorship-kevin-rockett-9781851828449","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
