Deutsche Einführung
Perry Rhodan ist der Titelheld der gleichnamigen deutschen Science-Fiction-Serie, die seit dem eight. September 1961 ununterbrochen wöchentlich in shape von Heftromanen mit einer Druckauflage von etwa eighty. 000 Heften (Stand: Jahr 2011) erscheint. Insgesamt sind bisher 2700 Hefte mit run one hundred sixty. 000 Seiten erschienen, deren Geschichten einen Zeitraum von über 3000 Jahren umfassen (Stand: Mai 2013).
Am 30. September 2011 startete parallel zur alten Serie eine Neufassung additionally Perry Rhodan Neo, mit dem Untertitel „Die Zukunft beginnt von vorn“. In dieser landet Perry Rhodan erst im Jahr 2036 auf dem Mond. Die Serie erscheint zweiwöchentlich und ist nach drei Staffeln mit je acht Taschenheften ab Heft 25 in Staffeln mit jeweils zwölf Romanen gegliedert.
Während die Perry-Rhodan-Heftromanserie von den geopolitischen Begebenheiten der realen Welt Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts ausging und die Handlung in einer nahen Zukunft beginnen ließ, geht Perry Rhodan Neo 50 Jahre später von der realen Welt des frühen 21. Jahrhunderts aus und beginnt ebenfalls in einer nahen Zukunft. So fliegt Perry Rhodan nicht im Jahre 1971 zum Mond, sondern erst 2036. Die Handlung nimmt somit aufgrund der geänderten Ausgangslage einen alternativen Verlauf. Die klassischen rationale der Serie werden ebenfalls in eine nahe Zukunft verlagert und entsprechend interpretiert. Es werden neue Figuren eingeführt und bekannte Figuren in einem neuen Licht gezeigt.
Die Serie ist somit nicht kanonisch in Bezug auf das klassische Perryversum. Nach der Aussage Klaus N. Fricks auf dem five. Weltcon 2011 in Mannheim wird es auch keine Überschneidungen oder Referenzen zwischen den Serien wie zu den Atlan-Serien geben. Perry Rhodan und Perry Rhodan Neo bilden jeweils einen „eigenen Kosmos“.

Example text
In this light the powerful arguments she makes for banning pornography show up much more clearly, and as a result Laurence's position on censorship is revealed to be much closer to the one that derives from my definition of censorship as judgment than to the liberal anti-censorship position that might otherwise be ascribed to her based on a reading of the article alone. Of all the chapters in this book, chapter 5 illustrates most clearly the definition I have constructed of censorship. In it I look at types of censorship that occur as a result of the competition of social groups in the cultural sphere.
He drives the point home by quoting Rushdie directly: "What is freedom of expression? Without the freedom to offend, it ceases to exist" (187). These arguments for unrestricted freedom of speech are neither self-evident nor supported by historical experience. There is no natural law that says that, when confronted with both truth and falsehood, humans consistently recognize and adopt the former.

In his first draft for the filmscript the violence is present: "Robert is lying on top of Barbara apparently strangling her ... Robert appears to be 'angry' - almost in a fit of fury" (Ftsi, file 18-6:216). But while love scenes are fairly common in motion pictures, violent sex takes a director on to thin ice and has been grounds for banning films in certain provinces in Canada. Add homosexuality to violent sex scenes, and you have a film ripe for controversy.
