Censorship in Japan (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores censorship, particularly film and video censorship, in Japan in modern times. It shows how most censorship has been the film and video industry exercising self-censorship, but how this system has been problematic in that it has allowed dominant players in the industry to impose their own standards.
