From the Enlightenment, the ideas of Milton, Locke, Mill and Jefferson developed into a classical paradigm of free speech which went largely unquestioned for over two hundred years. The modern globalized world has seen an end to such assumptions. The uproar and violence over both The Satanic Verses and the Danish cartoons criticizing Islam raised the question of whether freedom of expression--from a global perspective, most specifically an Islamic one--is an outdated legacy of Western Enlightenment or a vital and necessary tradition which must be protected. Increasingly, the dominance of global media organisations and their responsibility to reporting the facts has led to calls for legislation for corporate freedom of expression. Censoring the Word asks if we now live in an age when freedom of expression can no longer be absolute.
