Are there no potentially offensive images that should be regulated or avoided, or even banned? Where should the limits to free speech be placed in the specific field of publicising images? The laws governing images of public interest, especially those regarding religion, cultures and the activities of politicians, go to make up one of the most controversial and complex issues in the world of global communication. The controversy that arose on the publication in Denmark of the Mohammed cartoons continues to generate debate and concern. On the other hand, at a local level, television and Internet exploit political satire to the maxi- mum. The aim of the Quaderns del CAC is to highlight the difficult relationship between "Image and the right to ridicule", borrowing the apt expression of legal philosopher Ronald Dworkin. This collection of articles focuses on the two areas mentioned: an analysis and reflection of the crisis of the Mohammed cartoons after two years, and a partial map of political ridicule on television in essentially European contexts. Victòria Camps starts this edition with the article “Offence and free speech” and places the problem within the context of the ethics of responsibility. The first block of this edition is made up of four articles on the effects of the Mohammed images: Daniel Gamper Sachse reminds us of the origins of the controversy (“Free speech in tolerant society: the case of the Mohammed cartoons”); Alain Blomart investigates the effect in Europe and the Mediterra- nean (“The crisis of the Mohammed cartoons in the European Union and the Mediterranean: contexts, reactions and media”); José María Perceval provides us with the opposite view (“Between humour and uproar: satire and vision of the west in the media of the Arab-Muslim world”); and Mustafa Hussain dissects the debate in Denmark (“The controversy of the Mohammed cartoons and the media in Denmark”). The second block is dedicated to an analysis of political ridicule on television and includes the case studies by Jordi Balló (“The fiction of the mask: the case of Polònia in Catalonia”), by José Luis Valhondo (“Infosatire and democratisation on television: the Spanish case”), by Rossend Domènech (“Political satire in Italy: a successful television genre”), by Gemma Casadevall (“Political satire in Germany: from the political Kabarett of the thirties to Comedy TV”) and by Vicent Partal (“West Wing or Left Wing? The pedagogy of politics in the masterly series of the United States”). Laura Díez Bueso closes the edition with a general legal study (“Free speech and its limits”). As a complement, we should also note the selection of websites related to this edition in the subsection "Journal of websites”. Finally, the section entitled "Observatory" includes three collaborations of great interest: Fiona Macmillan argues “The dysfunctional relationship between copyright and cultural diversity”; Carlos Scolari, Héctor Navarro, Hugo Pardo and Josep Lluís Micó summarise the study entitled “The new professional profiles and multiskilling of journalists in Catalonia”; and Mònika Jiménez presents “TV programming for consumers in miniature: advertising for young children that speaks the language of adults”. Josep Gifreu Director 2 Introduction Offence and free speech Victòria Camps . Offence has become one of the fundamental causes 1.

Or perhaps it's not a question of intolerance, perhaps it's that not even criticism, nor satire, nor witticisms are what they used to be and have become pure insult, lacking in the respect that anyone deserves. Offence is an act that is almost impossible to objectify. In fact, we can only say that offence has occurred when some- one feels offended.

  • Conversations with Francesco Cossiga
    Bulletin of Italian Politics Vol. 2, No. 2, 2010, 141-162 Conversations with Francesco Cossiga Alison Jamieson The article is an extract from five exclusive interviews, recorded over several months in 2009, with former Italian president, Francesco Cossiga, who died on 17 August 2010. Born in 1928 in Sardinia, Cossiga was a life Senator in the Italian parliament, to which he was first elected for the Christian Democratic Party in 1958. His second cousin, Enrico Berlinguer, was secretary of the Italian Communist party from 1972 until his death in 1984. Cossiga held the offices of interior minister, prime minister, speaker of the Senate and president of the republic. He resigned as interior minister on 9 May 1978 after the murder of Aldo Moro, but returned as prime minister from August 1979 till October 1980. Considered a specialist in the areas of intelligence and security, Cossiga was proud of his association with the secret Stay Behind network known as Gladio, and took credit for setting up Italy’s anti-terrorist rapid response units. Church and State The first of five recorded conversations with President Cossiga occurred on the thirty-fifth anniversary of the divorce referendum. I began by asking him about the political significance of the vote, which had returned a large majority in favour of retaining divorce. The victories of the Christian Democratic party in 1947 and 1948 were erroneously seen as those of the Catholic Church and of Catholicism. The victories were due to a more complex series of factors: many non-believers voted DC, most Italian Jews voted DC while the others voted for the Republican Party.

  • Visit to Italy: the Gasparri Law Observations and Recommendations
    Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe The Representative on Freedom of the Media Miklós Haraszti 7 June 2005 Visit to Italy: The Gasparri Law Observations and Recommendations The OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media, Miklós Haraszti, accompanied by Advisers Alexander Ivanko and Roland Bless, visited Rome, Italy, from 30 March to 1 April 2004. This was the Representative’s first visit to this participating State. The trip was made at the invitation of, and was organized by, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Italy. The purpose of the trip was to assess the current situation in the television broadcasting sector, one year after the adoption in 2004 of the Gasparri Law1, Italy’s first comprehensive regulation of all broadcast media, and of the Frattini Law2, on the conflicts between public duty and private interests of public officials. The Gasparri Law was enacted after repeated calls by Italy’s Constitutional Court, as well as by European political bodies, for an overhaul of the highly concentrated television system in Italy. The Representative appreciates the co-operative approach of the Italian authorities and their willingness to discuss all issues raised by him openly. Miklós Haraszti met with government officials, parliamentarians, scholars, and media lawyers. Among those he had talks with were, in order of the meetings: - Minister of Communications Maurizio Gasparri and his Deputy Giancarlo Innocenzi; - Members of the Italian Delegation to the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, Senator Luigi Compagna and Member of the Chamber of Deputies, Mister Fabio Ciani; - President of the Justice Commission of the Senate, Senator Antonino Caruso; - Professor Mauro Masi, Secretary-General of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers (Prime-Minister’s Office); - Senior officials from the Foreign Ministry.

With its 163 elected MPs, an ”anti-system” party has entered the political system – not merely the electoral arena, but also the very heart of representative democracy. This political entity, led by former comedian Beppe Grillo, has responded to a social demand for renewal and revitalization of democracy. The rise of the M5S participates to a scene of strong de-legitimization of the political class, and of widespread sentiments of intolerance towards the political parties. At the same time, the Movement has reached the point of calling into question the representative character of Italian democracy, albeit by using the very mechanisms that typify such a regime: elections and Parliament.

This was due to relent- less censorship of this category. We can therefore say that satire has become fashionable.
