Tarpukario Lietuvoje cenzūros draustų knygų teminė analizė
LTMokslo darbų Bibliografija '2003 leidinyje analizavome tarpukario Lietuvoje veikusią spaudos priežiūros ir kontrolės sistemą, kuri dažniausiai įvardijama cenzūros terminu. Šiame straipsnyje atliksime cenzūros draustų knygų teminę analizę. Moksliniu požiūriu šis tyrimas svarbus tuo, jog padeda nagrinėti 1918-1940 m. bibliotekų fondų komplektavimo, spaudinių paplitimo visuomenėje, skaitymo literatūros parinkimo klausimus. Cenzūros draustų knygų teminė analizė taip pat suteikia galimybę rekonstruoti ne visada dokumentuose tiesiogiai įvardytus cenzūravimo principus, uždraudimo spausdinti, įvežti į šalį ir platinti knygas sumetimus [p. 41].
ENA subject analysis of the publications prohibited by the state censorship revealed the book prohibition criteria. These criteria include: 1. Political; 2. Religious; 3. Moral; and 4. Technical. The subject analysis of prohibited books enables to reconstruct the criteria of censorship and the motives for the prohibition of book publication, import and circulation that were not always directly listed in the documents. The criteria of book prohibition and the mechanism of censorship itself were bound up with Lithuanian internal and external politics as well as with moral attitudes of contemporary society. According to political criteria the publications of communist and anti-national subject matter as well as publications instigating anti-Lithuanian propaganda and ethnic conflicts were prohibited including fiction, encyclopaedias, calendars, textbooks, and maps. The subject analysis of prohibited books presented in the thesis contradicts the opinion formed in Soviet times that the interwar Lithuanian censorship has been directed solely towards the communist press. Publications of religious sects, printed matters spreading materialistic or libertine ideas as well as publications possibly insulting social morality or neglecting ethic norms were all prohibited.
