Yale University Press, ein renommierter Verlag für akademische Arbeiten, veröffentlicht ein Buch über den Karikaturenstreit, der vor vier Jahren die Welt bewegte: ““The Cartoons That Shook the World”. Der Clou der Sache: In dem Buch werden die Karikaturen nicht gezeigt, Experten haben davon abgeraten. Die NYT schreibt:
“So Yale University and Yale University Press consulted two dozen authorities, including diplomats and experts on Islam and counterterrorism, and the recommendation was unanimous: The book, “The Cartoons That Shook the World,” should not include the 12 Danish drawings that originally appeared in September 2005. What’s more, they suggested that the Yale press also refrain from publishing any other illustrations of the prophet that were to be included, specifically, a drawing for a children’s book; an Ottoman print; and a sketch by the 19th-century artist Gustave Doré of Muhammad being tormented in Hell, an episode from Dante’s “Inferno” that has been depicted by Botticelli, Blake, Rodin and Dalí.” http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/13/books/13book.html?emc=eta1

Can you imagine a scholarly press publishing a book about the Mona Lisa without a reproduction of the painting? Or, perhaps a more pertinent example, a book about anti-semtiic stereotypes without an ilustration of them? http://blog.theartsfuse.com/2009/08/13/culture-vulture-the-cartoons-that-still-shake-the-world/
