Teaching Film Censorship and Controversy 
Readman, Mark
This incisive guide provides a much needed summary of the complex issues surrounding film censorship and controversy. Always a potentially problematic curriculum area, given the nature of the material under examination, the guide offers some practical suggestions for teaching about the determining factors in, and ideological importance of, censorship and classification. In addition there are proposed strategies for discussing 'problem films', analysing texts and debating the nature of effects. Contents include:
The historical context for censorship and classification
The discourses and ideologies that inform and produce controversy
The arguments for and against censorship
Concepts of audiences and effects
Textual meanings
Audience research and analysis of data
Contemporary academic and official perspectives on censorship and classification
