Banned Images: censorship and artistic creation in the contemporary iberian peninsula.

Apresentação.

Keywords: Censorship, artistic creation, iberian space, dictatorship, art and politics

Abstract

What is the difference between images that pass before our eyes and those produced by our imagination? Which are the most powerful and "subversive" ones? What justifies censorship? The images themselves, or their purposes and uses? Is it the images that are censored or rather what we think about and make later with them? The tension between visibility and invisibility, between seen image and imagined image, addresses us to the complex relationships between literature and visual arts. The attempt to control public discourse by legitimizing certain voices and silencing others is undoubtedly one of the main aims of censorship. This is closely linked to the exercise of state coercion and its goal is to impose an ideology under the pretext of protecting society values.
