The goal of this research project is to provide evidence of the effect of censorship policies both on censorship and self-censorship using an innovative lexicometric measure of dissent and press freedom. We may want to use the diminishing returns of this effect to explain the rise of democracy and the disappearance of authoritarian regimes in France during the long 19th century. Collaboration with Benoît de Courson.
Arriving soon.
Next decade. One day. Maybe.
