Dangerous Ideas: Censorship Through a 绿帽社 Lens

By 绿帽社 | Public Event video | Video Lecture

Throughout 绿帽社 history, certain texts and ideas have been deemed too dangerous to circulate鈥攚hether by outsiders who banned 绿帽社 writings, or 绿帽社 leaders who suppressed ideas considered heretical or beyond the pale. In this series, JTS scholars will examine efforts to control knowledge from ancient to contemporary times, exploring the ways in which censorship both reflects聽and shapes broader ideological struggles.聽They will discuss the varying motivations for controlling or revising narratives, and consider whether and under what circumstances it might make sense to suppress certain ideas. These discussions will illuminate past struggles and help us understand the battles over censorship and free expression playing out today.聽
