About this Event

Book Club & Discussion Panel: The Life and Death of Freedom of Expression


The uOttawa Public Law Centre is delighted to invite you to a panel discussion with Richard Moon, the author of The Life and Death of Freedom of Expression on Thursday, November 28, 2024, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Fauteux Hall, room 202.


The panel discussion with the author will be preceded by two book club meetings hosted at the uOttawa Public Law Centre at 600 King Edward, room 205, from 4 to 5 p.m. on November 7 and 21, 2024. Further details will be provided to registrants.


From the publisher: “In The Life and Death of Freedom of Expression, Richard Moon argues that freedom of expression is valuable because human agency and identity emerge in discourse – in the joint activity of creating meaning. Moon recognizes that the social character of individual agency and identity is crucial to understanding not only the value of expression but also its potential for harm.


The book considers a range of issues, including the regulation of advertising, hate speech, pornography, blasphemy, and public protest. The book also considers the shift to social media as the principal platform for public engagement, which has added to the ways in which speech can be harmful while undermining the effectiveness of traditional legal responses to harmful speech. The Life and Death of Freedom of Expression makes the case that the principal threat to public discourse may no longer be censorship, but it is rather the spread of disinformation, which undermines public trust in traditional sources of information and makes engagement between different positions and groups increasingly difficult.”

Groupe de lecture & panel de discussion : The Life and Death of Freedom of Expression


Le Centre de droit public de l'Université d'Ottawa a le plaisir de vous inviter à une discussion avec Richard Moon, l'auteur de The Life and Death of Freedom of Expression, le jeudi 28 novembre 2024, de 11 h 30 à 13 h, dans la pièce 202 du pavillon Fauteux.


La discussion avec l'auteur sera précédée de deux rencontres du groupe de lecture qui se tiendront au Centre de droit public de l'Université d'Ottawa dans la pièce 205 de l’édifice 600 King Edward, de 16 h à 17 h, les 7 et 21 novembre 2024. De plus amples détails seront fournis aux personnes inscrites.


De l’éditeur [Traduction Libre] : « Dans The Life and Death of Freedom of Expression (La vie et la mort de la liberté d'expression), Richard Moon affirme que la liberté d'expression est précieuse parce que l'action et l'identité humaines émergent dans le discours - dans l'activité commune de création de sens. Moon reconnaît que le caractère social de l'agence et de l'identité individuelles est crucial pour comprendre non seulement la valeur de l'expression, mais aussi son potentiel de nuisance.


L'ouvrage aborde une série de questions, notamment la réglementation de la publicité, les discours haineux, la pornographie, le blasphème et les protestations publiques. Il examine également le passage aux médias sociaux en tant que principale plateforme d'engagement public, qui a multiplié les façons dont l'expression peut être préjudiciable tout en sapant l'efficacité des réponses juridiques traditionnelles à l'expression préjudiciable. The Life and Death of Freedom of Expression montre que la principale menace pesant sur le discours public n'est peut-être plus la censure, mais plutôt la propagation de la désinformation, qui sape la confiance du public dans les sources d'information traditionnelles et rend de plus en plus difficile l'engagement entre des positions et des groupes différents. »
