  • Merchants Of
    Introduction The Jews never faced much anti-Semitism in America. This is due, in large part, to the underlying ideologies it was founded on; namely, universalistic interpretations of Christianity and Enlightenment ideals of freedom, equality and opportunity for all. These principles, which were arguably created with noble intent – and based on the values inherent in a society of European-descended peoples of high moral character – crippled the defenses of the individualistic-minded White natives and gave the Jews free reign to consolidate power at a rather alarming rate, virtually unchecked. The Jews began emigrating to the United States in waves around 1880, when their population was only about 250,000. Within a decade that number was nearly double, and by the 1930s it had shot to 3 to 4 million. Many of these immigrants – if not most – were Eastern European Jews of the nastiest sort, and they immediately became vastly overrepresented among criminals and subversives. A 1908 police commissioner report shows that while the Jews made up only a quarter of the population of New York City at that time, they were responsible for 50% of its crime. Land of the free. One of their more common criminal activities has always been the sale and promotion of pornography and smut. Two quotes should suffice in backing up this assertion, one from an anti-Semite, and one from a Jew. Firstly, an early opponent of the Jews in America, Greek scholar T.T. Timayenis, wrote in his 1888 book The Original Mr. Jacobs that nearly “all obscene publications are the work of the Jews,” and that the historian of the future who shall attempt to describe the catalogue of the filthy publications issued by the Jews during the last ten years will scarcely believe the evidence of his own eyes.

Censorship of Obscenity: The Developing Constitutional Standards The authors discuss the constitutional criteriacontrolling recent decisions of the United States Supreme Court in the area of obscenity censorship and demonstrate that sub- stantial protection has been given to published material dealing with sex. In considering the development of a test to identify "censorableobscenity," they examine the nature of pornography and conclude that it provides a useful guide. They find that "hard-core pornography" is the foundation for the "constant" concept of obscenity cur- rently applied by the Court; and they advocate a "variable" concept which would make the validity of censorship de- pend upon the particularmaterial's primary audience and upon the nature of the appeal to that audience. The authors also discuss: (1) the requirement that material be judged as a whole on the basis of its dominant theme, (2) the weight to be given "redeeming social importance," (3) the protection of "immoral" ideas and the "end of ideolog- ical obscenity," (4) the requirement of scienter, (5)the meaning and application of "contemporary community standards," and (6) the need for independent judicial re- view of obscenity findings.

  • Chapter 2 "SLAUGHTER of the INNOCENTS": ORIGIN of the CONTROVERSY the Comic Book Was the Direct Descendant of the Comi
    Chapter 2 "SLAUGHTER OF THE INNOCENTS": ORIGIN OF THE CONTROVERSY The comic book was the direct descendant of the comic strip, which had flourished in American newspapers since the late nineteenth century. As early as 1897, tabloid-sized booklets which reprinted popular newspaper strips such as "The Yellow Kid" and "Buster Brown" appeared. In 1911, the Chicago American issued an eighteen-by-six inch reprint of "Mutt and Jeff" strips bound in cardboard covers. The booklet was available for six coupons clipped from the paper, plus a postage fee. The American ordered an original printing of 10,000 copies from the Ball Publishing Company of Boston. In the first week 35,000 copies were sold and $6,000 profit was realized.1 Despite the response to the American venture, enthusiasm among publishers was unremarkable and succeeding ventures were sporadic. The first publication to employ all original material did not appear until 1929. The Funnies, a tabloid-sized imitation of the newspaper strip form, was published by George T. Delacorte, Jr., and printed by Eastern Color Printing Company. It folded after thirteen issues.2 In its standard form of 8-3/4 by 10-1/2 inches, later reduced to 7-1/4 by 10-1/2 inches, the comic book was the creation of Harry I. Wildenberg, sales manager of Eastern Printing. Given the responsibility for the development of new ideas to secure additional printing contracts for Eastern, he began to experiment with 1James Steranko, History of Comics, 2 vols.

    60. Derrière les portes vertes C’était une fille du Connecticut, née à Providence en 952. Marilyn Chambers a été retrouvée morte dans son appartement le 2 avril 2009. Elle est la première porn-star du cinéma améri- cain avec Linda Lovelace. Sa carrière a connu deux climax remarquables. En 972 d’abord, lorsque les frères Mitchell la choisissent pour Derrière la porte verte (Behind the Green Door), chef-d’œuvre onirique bousculant les codes d’une industrie porno balbutiante et le racisme d’une Amérique ébranlée par les conflits raciaux. En pleine offensive de la blaxploitation, les Mitchell filment la comédienne avec un infatigable amant, l’ac- teur noir Johnny Keyes. Le tenace tabou du rapport interracial imposé jadis par le code Hays vole en éclats grâce aux pionniers du porno qui ont la roublardise commerciale de choisir cette jeune inconnue dont le visage angélique et souriant s’étalait alors sur les emballages et les affiches d’une marque de savon pour bébé. Elle tenait un nourrisson dans les bras et le slogan annonçait fièrement : 99,44 % de pureté. Dans le film, kidnap- pée et entraînée sur la scène d’un sex-club mystérieux peuplé de voyeurs, Marilyn Chambers abandonnait soudain son rêve hollywoodien, son désir de maternité et sa superficialité de cover-girl pour se projeter au centre d’une cérémonie des sens. Sa jouissance affola les promoteurs d’une maternité savonneuse qui remplacèrent son effigie désormais ironique par celui d’un autre modèle. Marilyn Chambers n’était plus la mère qui enfante mais une femme dont le visage apaisé servait d’offrande virile, dans un final de gros plans spermatiques filmés au ralenti, colorisés et solarisés ; une explosion tendant à l’abstraction, le triomphe des pulsions contre le devoir maternel, l’imaginaire contre l’ordre.
