Filthy-minded historian, Aoife Bhreatnach, explores books from the ‘censored in Ireland’ list. From great literature, mediocre reads, sex manuals, true crime and pulp fiction to memoirs of gay life, thousands of books were censored in Ireland. Were those ‘bad books’ indecent or obscene? Join Aoife as she reads like a smut-obsessed censor, looking for the rude bits in all kinds of books.

The most memorable scandals in Irish life feature a fulminating bishop and this is no exception. This brief controversy is infamous but why do we find it so compelling? Dr Morgan Wait joins me to talk about television and titillation in 1960s Ireland.Anything that doesn’t feature Gay Byrne is going to get considerably less attention. Morgan WaitWhen people recognise themselves, or suspect they recognise themselves, they get cross and ask for changes. Aoife BhreatnachOne of the biggest letter writing incidents was around ‘Home Truths’ and it had nothing to do with censorship. Morgan WaitIf the ‘Late Late Show’ was introducing sex to audiences, it was to people who were already having it.

Theatre riots might capture the imagination but audiences, critics and authority figures shape theatre in other less dramatic ways. Guest Dr Barry Houlihan talks about his new book Theatre and archival memory: Irish drama and marginalised histories 1951-77 (2022)·Reading a banned book is a private thing while theatre-going is a public political act. ·Theatre is a way of dismantling the mechanics of the state and church. ·Theatres are institutions in their own way – they can have set audiences that they cater for and don’t want to lose.You can support the show here: https://www.patreon.com/censoredpodAnd buy stickers here: https://censoredpod.bigcartel.com/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

When tax payers pay for libraries, librarians have a duty to ‘the public’. Defining that public isn’t easy, especially when priests, pressure groups and politicians get involved. ·Being an arbiter of taste and decency was a tough job and nobody appreciated it. ·The censorship mentality was still deeply embedded in a prudish and hypocritical society·He proceeded to tear up the books, pile them on the floor, take out a bottle of paraffin and a box of matches from his pocket.You can support the show here: https://www.patreon.com/censoredpod And buy stickers here: https://censoredpod.bigcartel.com/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Moving pictures (de filums) were heavily censored but the state didn’t officially scrutinise other visual art forms. Censure by covert means was the preferred method to control subversive art. Guest: Dr Róisín Kennedy author of Art and the nation state: the reception of modern art in Ireland (2021)·Part of the emotional response comes from a sense that modern art is conning us, hoodwinking us. Dr Róisín Kennedy·Censorship culture made access to visual art elitist. Dr Róisín Kennedy·The production of art in Ireland was directly affected by censorship in that artists produced landscapes as opposed to nudes.

Everyone wanted a piece of Roger Casement but which piece? Carefully extracting his skeleton from heavy London mud in 1965 didn’t end the controversy over his life and lusts.·The treatment of Casement’s dead body was exceptionally cruel, even by the standards of executed prisoners.·Why are all our significant national events in March? Is there some penitential impulse forcing us to suffer for our patriotism?·After the burial of the great man in 1965, there little hope of anyone in Ireland reading his raunchy diaries, whether published or not.·The Roger Casement in the diaries is having great fun and that, more than anything, upsets people.Some Reading:Lucy McDiarmid ‘The Afterlife of Roger Casement’ in The Irish Art of Controversy (2005)Jeffrey Dudgeon, Roger Casement: The Black Diaries (3rd edition, 2019)‘Notes on the Exhumation of Roger Casement’s Remains’ in Documents on Irish Foreign Policy 1961-65 vol 12You can support the show here: https://www.patreon.com/censoredpodAnd buy stickers here: https://censoredpod.bigcartel.com/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The scandal over Roger Casement’s diaries is huge. People have spent millions of hours of obsessing over whether diaries allegedly found in his personal papers were forgeries or not. It’s past time I read the smut and examined the censure of the man and his writings. Truly, he was the hottest martyr of the 1916 Rising – you could argue he was the finest half who ever laid down his life for the cause of Irish freedom.If you are looking for filth, you have to read a lot about gambling, sailing on ships and lost luggage.Casement the hero cannot be Casement the man, especially if that man is a size queen with a very active sex life.You can support the show here: https://www.patreon.com/censoredpod And buy stickers here: https://censoredpod.bigcartel.com/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Liam O’Flaherty was the angriest Irish author of his generation who raged against ‘soutaned witch-doctors’ (Catholic priests). He believed his outspokenness provoked social censure so severe that his work could not be found anywhere in Ireland.

Although The Bell published fiction and factual pieces on topics the censors hated, such as single motherhood or gay desire, it was never banned. Unfortunately, only a determined few read a magazine that was not on open sale in every newsagent. Guest: Phyllis Boumans Phyllis.boumans@kuleuven.be·The Bell tried to challenge the Catholic monomania by giving space to voices from different denominations.·It really was a magazine by, for and about men.·It tried to advocate for frank and honest treatment of taboo topics such as illegitimacy.

In this episode we meet the Angelic Warfare Association, whose newspaper burning caused a stir in 1926 and 1927. Emulating protest burnings of previous decades, these young men targeted a British Sunday newspaper, the News of the World. There were way more incidents of newspapers burnings than book bonfires.The real truth about post-independence Ireland is that everyone was reading the News of the World.Angelic Warfare was a boy’s sodality, so think of the Scouts, with extra praying.You can support the show here: https://www.patreon.com/censoredpod And buy stickers here: https://censoredpod.bigcartel.com/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Like many authors Brinsley McNamara wrote about the people of his homeplace. When his satirical vision shocked and offended his neighbours, they instigated a long boycott of the author’s family. A grim story of social censure in rural Ireland.
