Ni rojos ni ateos: las difíciles relaciones entre la España franquista y el exilio argentino
2016
RESUMEN: En este artículo se abordan las difíciles relaciones editoriales entre la España de Franco y el exilio argentino debido a la censura. La industria editorial argentina se desarrolló publicando los originales y traducciones prohibidas en la Península y con la colaboración de profesionales del libro y autores exiliados. Estas obras llegaban con notables obstáculos en pequeñas cantidades y para un público muy reducido. ABSTRACT: This study approaches the difficult editorial relationships between Franco's Spain and the Argentine exile because of censorship. Argentina's publishing industry developed the originals and translations prohibited in Spain and in collaboration with book p…
Self-censorship and Shifting Cognitions of Offence in the Stand-up Acts of Basket Mouth and Trevor Noah
2021
With social media taking stand-up routines beyond their hitherto localised environments, there is growing irritation and backlash against comedians who supposedly tell unpleasant (or offensive) jok...
De vagos y maleantes, bandidos y censores. La contraimagen del quinqui durante el franquismo en obras de Rodríguez Méndez
2020
Este artículo propone una lectura de la obra de teatro Los quinquis de Madriz (1967) y del relato “Vida de quinqui” (1961), ambos del autor José María Rodríguez Méndez (1925-2009) a partir de la construcción que en ellos tiene lugar de una imagen de la figura del “quinqui” alternativa a la propuesta por el Estado durante el franquismo. Se analiza, asimismo, cómo dichas obras ponen de manifiesto el modo en que el régimen franquista trataba de crear un relato y un modelo de sociedad funcional a sus intereses políticos. En las obras analizadas se evidencian algunos de los mecanismos que empleó el estado con ese fin, como, por ejemplo, la construcción de un marco legal para criminalizar a los g…
Pie laika … Now is the time. The singing revolution on Latvian radio and television
2020
AbstractIn the Soviet Union, song competitions had an important role in presenting new artists and songs. The Mikrofona aptauja contest of Latvian radio (1968–1994) was the main forum for new Latvian pop music. It had a reputation for expressing nationalist feelings within the limits of Soviet censorship. In 1988, with the rise of new political movements in the Soviet Union, the competition became a venue for the Latvian independence movement. The winning song of 1988 was a demand for ‘freedom to the fatherland’. The competition also played a part in the rehabilitation of pre-war popular music which had been forbidden in Soviet Latvia. The paper discusses the role of journalists, politician…
Tsensuur kommunistlikus Poola Rahvavabariigis
2013
This article discusses the topic of censorship in the communist Poland. It presents a description of the functioning of the office of censorship (Main Office for the Control of Presentations and Public Performances; Główny Urzęd Kontroli Prasy, Publikacji i Widowisk) as well as other forms of informal influence on the authors working for public publishing houses. The underground publications suppressed during the Stalin era as well as difficulties encountered by Polish historians after 1956 will be the subject of the analysis. Furthermore, the article indicates the complementary role of the underground publishers after 1970. These publishing houses had a significant impact on the birth of p…
“Generalist” Journals between Dissemination of Economics and Regime Propaganda
2019
Early in the 20th, generalist journals – a kind of press which had its major diffusion in the nineteenth century – continue to accommodate the contributions of economists offering a specific debating space. However, with the affirmation of fascist ideology, generalist periodicals progressively ceased to exist or to host economists’ articles. Thus, the main object of this research consists in clarifying what could be intended by “generalism” and in relation to which events and ideological pressures it disappeared as a different way to do journalism in a dialectic interplay with specialization. The paper reviews the panorama of generalist journals focusing on the impact of the Fascist regime …
Galvenās Literatūras pārvaldes darbība Latvijā. 1985.-1990.gads
2013
Anotācija Promocijas darba “Galvenās Literatūras pārvaldes darbība Latvijā. 1985.- 1990. gads” autors ir Juris Millers. Darbā aplūkoti PSRS cenzūras institūcijas darbības aspekti Latvijas PSR tās pastāvēšanas pēdējā piecgadē – laikā no 1985. līdz 1990. gadam, kas sakrita arī par PSRS eksistences pēdējo piecgadi. Šis laika periods līdz šim ir salīdzinoši maz pētīts, tādēļ no zinātniskā viedokļa tas ir īpaši nozīmīgs, jo sakrīt ar virkni būtisku procesu, kas norisinājās mūsu sabiedrībā, piemēram, Atmodas notikumiem, valsts sistēmtransformāciju, Latvijas neatkarības iegūšanu. Promocijas darbā pētītais laiks sakrīt ar Galvenās Literatūras pārvaldes (GLP) likvidēšanu, tādēļ ir svarīgi izpētīt šī…
Media Control in the Twentieth Century
2015
Media control by which the duplication and distribution of knowledge are under attendance is as old as modern media. Efforts at control emerged rather quickly after the printing press was invented, first inaugurated by the Catholic Church but soon adopted by the state(s). The reasons were similar but the conditions varied from country to country. The decline of government control began in England at the end of the seventeenth century; other countries followed with more or less delay. At the end of the nineteenth century, pre-censorship had generally been abolished in the European countries; however, the twentieth century did not become an era of press freedom as expected. This resulted from…

Wormholes and nonsingular spacetimes in Palatinif(R)gravity
2015
We reconsider the problem of $f(R)$ theories of gravity coupled to Born-Infeld theory of electrodynamics formulated in a Palatini approach, where metric and connection are independent fields. By studying electrovacuum configurations in a static and spherically symmetric space-time, we find solutions which reduce to their Reissner-Nordstr\"om counterparts at large distances but undergo important non-perturbative modifications close to the center. Our new analysis reveals that the point-like singularity is replaced by a finite-size wormhole structure, which provides a geodesically complete and thus nonsingular space-time, despite the existence of curvature divergences at the wormhole throat. …
