Svensk synd och japansk oskuld?
Year: 2010
Type: article
Abstract: This article comparatively explores the issue of censorship in relation to the film cultures of Swedish sin and Japanese pink film ("pinku eiga") post-World War II until 1980. The two film cultures reflect similar ethos-chilling misogynism, explicit sexuality and graphic violence, and a number of films in that era were landmark cases in pushing the boundaries of censorship. Tracing the role of censorship specifically in the contexts of gender equality in Sweden and the war defeat in Japan, the article also reflects on the ideological premises and cultural agenda of censorship.
