Films, Publications, - Robert H. Jackson (1892-1954), U.S. Judge Games Internet Content During the five years prior to June 1997, the censorship debate in Australia AU ISP Blocking Plan had focussed on issues of morality and the portrayal of violence. Whilst some 2011 had expressed fears that censorship policy was headed backwards, to the extreme moral conservatism and hypocrisy of decades past, few anticipated About the Censors that political censorship would rear its ugly head. Legislation On 6 June 1997, a Federal Court judge dismissed an appeal by four student Censorship/Classification editors of Rabelais, the La Trobe University student newspaper, against the Child decision of the censors to ban an article published in July 1995. The decision Exploitation/Abuse was appealed to the full bench of the Federal Court and again dismissed on Using 24 March 1998. On 11 December 1998, the High Court of Australia refused Telecommunications to grant special leave to appeal. The former editors each faced jail terms of up to six years and/or fines to a maximum of AUD$72,000. Censorship History 1901... The case looks decidedly like political censorship; convenient grounds for Facts & Fallacies which came into effect quietly, with minimal - if any - public awareness in 1992.

Australia and Vietnam War—A Select Bibliography. Jeff Doyle and Jeffrey Grey Introduction In keeping with the wide range of concerns of the essays in this volume the bibliography has attempted to cover as many “subject headings” as seemed possible. Thus while the title “Select Bibliography” suggests that the compilers have collected only the major “texts” of concern, the following lists are an attempt to be as complete as possible at the time of final compilation. “Select” is meant to convey the fact that the editors are certain (most likely the only certainty prevailing in scholarly life) that the lists are not complete. This incompletion applies to some areas more than to others. Newspapers and the general daily print media, and their radio and television equivalent news industries are the chief areas of extreme selection.

  • Student Newspaper Collections in Australian University Libraries and Archives
    This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in the Journal of the ​ Australian Library and Information Association on 20th May 2020, available online: ​ https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/24750158.2020.1760529 Radical holdings? Student newspaper collections in Australian university libraries and archives Jessie Lymn & Tamara Jones Charles Sturt University, Wagga Wagga Abstract University student newspapers have a long history across Australian university campuses of engaging with contemporary social and political issues, often reflecting a sentiment not represented in mainstream media publications. Student newspapers have a demonstrated engagement with radical thinking, dissent and political activism and are an important published record of historical discourses, contributing to a critically informed understanding of the society that produced them. This paper reports on a pilot survey of Australian university holdings of their student newspapers. Findings inform current and future student newspaper collection practices by university libraries and archives, including building ongoing relationships with editorial teams, and recommended improvements for access to this primary source material for future researchers. Keywords: student newspapers; student publications; digital collections; special collections; archives; student politics; college newspapers 1 Introduction University student newspapers have a long history across Australian university campuses of engaging with contemporary social and political

    The Progress of Error: or, the Recursive Eighteenth Century Alice Boone Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 copyright 2015 by Alice Boone all rights reserved Abstract “The Progress of Error: or, the Recursive Eighteenth Century” Alice Boone Digital archives of early modern printed materials—on Early English Books Online, Eighteenth-Century Collections Online, Google Books, and Project Gutenberg, among others—are rife with scanning errors, incomplete metadata, typos, and other odd, frustrating artifacts of mediation. Each technological change in writing brings its own version of problems in preserving and mediating our print history—problems which may, paradoxically, proliferate errors as they seek to correct prior mistakes. “The Progress of Error” traces a history of these fractious, recursive, debates about error correction and mediation in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, when editors, printers, and critics squabbled over the best means of preserving classical texts, Shakespeare, Milton, and early English ballads. I argue that the literary past is literally made of mistakes and attempts to correct them which go out of control; these errant corrections are not to be fixed in future editions but rather are constitutive of Enlightenment concepts of mediation, criticism, sensory perception, historicity, and agency. Editor and satirist Alexander Pope played both sides of the error correction and creation game, translating and editing texts at the same time as he reveled in satire’s distorting lens and its potential for correcting others’ moral and intellectual failings. Classical editor Richard Bentley, a target of Pope’s scourge in the first edition of the Dunciad, practiced extraordinary editorial hubris in insisting that he could conjecturally correct not just typos in Milton’s epic poem Paradise Lost, but entire lines that he felt were blots on the poem’s design and style.
