----------------------------Original message---------------------------- I'm doing research on film violence, censorship and the debate on 'harmful' effects of screen and video violce in Sweden. The first Swedish moral panic about video was initiated when a TV show screened scenes of 'meaningless, extreme violence' back in 1980. Needless to say, the scenes shown seemed quite meaningless, since they'd just picked the most violent sequnces they could find and showed them completely out of context. The result - increased censorship. In this programme a sequence with a middle-aged man stumbling around with a scythe through the neck was shown. I haven't been able to identify the film. Does anyone hav a clue? Ulf Ulf Dalquist Phone: +46 46 104266 Dept. of Sociology Fax: +46 46 104794 Box 114 221 00 Lund SWEDEN E-mail: [log in to unmask]
