Zwischen Dissimulation und Disziplinierung.

Between dissimulation and discipline.

The history of book censorship continues to involve more than the study of processes of book censorship and of individual cases. It has always been a part of social and cultural history and of the history of ideas. In Italy, in particular, it is often studied in the context of political history. The research of recent years has increasingly connected the history of the printing press and the control of books to concepts such as that of the libertas philosophandi or the freedom of conscience. It has yielded important results for an understanding of the - long and socially complex- process leading from the collection and organization of knowledge to the formation of an individual opinion. On the part of the authorities, this process required a transition from regulatory practices to practices involving control over the public. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La storia della censura libraria continua a costituire più dell'analisi di processi di censura libraria e di singoli casi. Da sempre, essa si inserisce nel contesto della storia sociale, culturale e delle idee. In Italia, in particolare, viene spesso praticata in un'ottica di storia politica. La ricerca degli ultimi anni ha collegato in maniera crescente la storia della stampa e del controllo dei libri a concetti come quelli della libertas philosophandi o della libertà di coscienza. Ha apportato importanti risultati ai fini della comprensione del processo - lungo e socialmente complesso - che si snoda fra la raccolta e l'organizzazione del sapere fino alla formazione di un'opinione individuale. Un tale processo ha richiesto, da parte delle autorità, un passaggio da pratiche di disciplinamento a pratiche di controllo del pubblico. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
