Guided by acclaimed artist, filmmaker, and activist Amar Kanwar, the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School convened a series of public seminars on freedom of speech with the participation of some of the most original thinkers and artists on the topic. Structured as an open curriculum, each seminar examined a particular aspect of freedom of speech, reflecting on and informed by recent debates around hate speech, censorship, sexism, and racism in the US and elsewhere. Studies into Darkness emerges from these seminars as a collection of newly commissioned texts, artist projects, and resources that delve into the intricacies of free speech. Providing a practical and historical guide to free speech discourse and in-depth investigations that extend far beyond the current moment, and featuring poetic responses to the crises present in contemporary culture and society around expression, this publication provocatively questions whether true communication is ever attainable. 606 $aFreedom of speech$zUnited States 606 $aHate speech$zUnited States 606 $aCensorship$zUnited States 606 $aSexism$zUnited States 606 $aRacism$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$2fast 615 0$aFreedom of speech 615 0$aHate speech 615 0$aCensorship 615 0$aSexism 615 0$aRacism 676 $a323.44/30973 702 $aKuoni$b Carin 702 $aRaicovich$b Laura$f1973- 712 02$aVera List Center for Art and Politics, 801 0$bEYM 801 1$bEYM 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910805790603321 996 $aStudies into darkness$93908377 997 $aUNINA
