Dear all, I've sent this to the whole Meccsa list but I think it will be of particular interest to this list Please find full details of the programme here - http://www.ies.sas.ac.uk/ies-conferences/ForbiddenAccess Title: "Forbidden Access: Censoring Books and Archives" Date: 6-7 November Venue: Senate House, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU. Keynote speaker: Rachel Potter, Professor of Modern Literature at the University of East Anglia. Conference Website: http://www.ies.sas.ac.uk/ies-conferences/ForbiddenAccess 'Forbidden Access' is a multidisciplinary conference exploring how published works and archival materials and the ideas contained in them are affected, obscured or distorted by censorship. The conference seeks to explore the proliferating and divisive causes, symptoms and effects of the censoring impulse, from overt interference with a text to the subtler, intangible effects of caution and fear in the face of anticipated control, and to do so in relation to a variety of angles and contexts: aesthetic, cultural, socio-economic, ideological, legal, and political.
