seems to be the first case of the absence of censorship since this list began.
The statue in the open court refers to Antinous as Hadrian's lover, tho this leaves open what a lover might mean. I saw this first in the Vatican where its position was an interesting referral. There will be a Hadrian on Youtube if there aren't too many there already Incidently, this list might want to know about PPTSA. using technology for social action, which is on the design activism group on Facebook

There has been a fortnight of meetings at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, on the theme of diversity, during which I raised the issue of the extent to which there is censorship of material on the basis that curators, or politicians, are sensitive to the cultures and ideologies of visitors.
Forbidden Fruit I think started with literature and libraries, but museums and galleries are presumably just as much content/ I mentioned the forbidden fruit conference, and hope that we will be able to make something more of it. The V&A5.0 at some point I will explain, or point to an explanation.

It isn't exactly literature, but the pulling by heinz of an advert following some pressure, and the significance attached to this by stonewall does make it appear as if the connection between the children and the kiss is what is at steak, not Heinz, which becomes Neinz?

In muntaka upanishad of hindu philosophy chapter third describes a story of two birds. one is adma (soul) and another is jeev.(life) jeev eats the fruit of fig tree (Pippala). this story is told to explain even though the life (living being) is doing the worldly things (including sex) it will not affect the soul inside. the following points are coincide. adam and adma. eve and jeev. pipple and bible. fig and fig (not changed). forbidden fruit is forbidden fruit (not changed) upanishads are 5000 years old. bible is 2000 years old. is it possible that this story has taken this new shape in 3000 years? for details read muntaka upanishad in http://www.ashokha.co.cc

Thought this link might be of interest to folks on here...
http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/books/2008/03/let_children_choose_the_books.html Some really interesting comments, highlighting the role of libraries in the control (or not) of taste, and the availability of texts.

I wonder whether we could use this wonderful adventure to start a knowledge gathering exercise on the theme, and thus build something?
The first thing I discovered after this thought is the Children's Literature Association which produces a Quarterly, which is in our library, and I presume available electronically, so scuttle off and grep Now we can work on what they have had to say about the forbidden fruit theme?: And post The second thought I found was the link between film and literature. I had found a book in the BFI bookshop on children's film and censorship, but I hadn't thought to take down the detail, as I wasn't that interested at that stage, so back to the BFI, or try grepping the concept.

I wish I could get to the UK for this. It looks really interesting and very topical. I hope many practitioners take up the call and join in by offering papers etc.
