Freedom of expression, Democracy, Mass mediaAbstract
Established, either in the theoretical field or in constitutional practice, as a founding principle of democratic order, freedom of expression was and has been scrutinized by diverse areas of knowledge. In this paper we explore the main debates involving free expression of ideas fundamentals, seeking to highlight their relationship and conflict with other values, such as equality, tolerance and justice. In a problem-oriented approach, we shed light on the issues of hate speech and pornography, and, as well, on the implications, to public deliberation, of the unequal access to mass media and the new technology of information. At the end, we present the papers that make up this dossier. We expect, in this sense, to contribute to the constitution of a research agenda about freedom of expression, an urgent task in the current scenario in which this fundamental right has been under attack by governments of different ideological orientations.Downloads
