TITLE: “The End of Obscenity? Media and Aesthetics in the History (and Present) of Obscenity” TALK: This talk starts by returning to the American lawyer, Charles Rembar’s declaration that the American obscenity trials of the 1960s (trials focused on works like Lady Chatterley’s Lover and Fanny Hill) mark the “end of obscenity” for literature. What exactly does that claim mean and a half century later how does judgment stand? WHEN: Friday, April 9th, 4:00pm CST
