X-Certificate British Cinema of the Long 1960s

We propose a co-edited special issue of an REF-calibrated print journal on the subject of British films of the “long 1960s” that sought or seemed to explore the changing mores of society, and were given a BBFC “X” certificate for doing so.

We define the “long 1960s” as approximately 1958-1971, as paralleled to the tenure of noted BBFC secretary of the board, John Trevelyan. Films awarded an X-certificate are searchable via here: http://www.bbfc.co.uk/ (“Advanced search”)

114th Annual Conference - Pasadena, California
Friday, November 11 - Sunday, November 13, 2016Ancient-Modern Relations: The Classical Tradition

Family is most often presented as a shelter from social disturbances that threaten its very existence, but in which individuals, assaulted by existential issues regain their balance and draw energy for each coming day. But family is likewise a breeding ground for social pathologies rather than their mere recepient. And if so, which one predates and influences the other? While this may be a chicken and egg dilemma, it is also a valid proposition for discussion.
