[ecrea] WRoCAH Network studentships on freedom of the press

    Beyond Charlie: Anticlericalism and Freedom of the Press

The Paris attacks on 7 January 2015 make this an apposite moment to
assess the deep cultural and historical links between iconoclastic
thought and freedom of the press in western Europe. The network will
reassess anticlerical print culture and ideas of free speech, taking as
its starting point the Hébertiste tradition of radical and scabrous
political satire, a tradition in which Charlie Hebdo clearly stands.
Though part of a wider secularist tradition, this populist—and often
deliberately provocative—strand of anticlerical transmission should be
distinguished from literary forms of those rooted in social and
political movements.
