Cancelled! The Counterculture of Ideas

Cancelled! The Counterculture of Ideas

Forbidden! Taboo! Shouldn’t be allowed!
 
Do you ever find yourself censoring yourself? Not saying quite what you think, feel or believe in case it is disapproved of?
 
Human rights lawyer ERIC BERKOWITZ comes to the Bureau to talk about his epic new book 'Dangerous Ideas: A History of Censorship from Ancient Times to Fake News.
 
It's a thrilling read, full of sometimes comical, often alarming and always thought-provoking human stories - from that of the ancient Chinese emperor who destroyed any works implying there had ever been a better era than his own, to the current Chinese leader's attempts to have Winnie the Pooh banned (after his and the bear's resemblance was pointed out). The UK and the US don’t fare too well either.
 
Why have books, films, images words and ideas always been censored by those in power? Are there times when they should be? Does censorship ever work? 
 
Eric digs deep into the touchiness of tyrants, into our current issues around blame, shame and cancel culture and why he thinks that almost nothing should be censored. We explore why countercultural ideas are so necessary for the culture and why they are only really dangerous when denied expression.
