Found another case which amounts to censorship. The Imperial War Museum has age restrictions on young people seeing things to do with genocide, holocaust and so forth. I watched a young person being excluded and his father trying to explain why he wasn't going to be allowed to go in.
This is a different sort of matter from some of the others but I wonder on the body of theory, never mind knowledge, which has allowed for a decision such as this?

not quite literature, but in a town in Wallonia there is an exhibition dedicated to the phallus, masks, carnival, which in Britain would be closed down by the police the day it opened. Yet in Wallonia, in Binche, there are young kids playing around, making masks, and no one turns a wink. There is an exhibition on, in french, because it is wallonia, crossing genres, with the carnival, masque theme, challenging every idea of fixed sexuality you can imagine.
Which simply goes to show how complicated the matter of what is culturally a norm and what is prohibited actually is.
Last nite on radio was a rattigan play, and I remember the winslow boy at school, and the silence surrounding rattigan, just to show that things change

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.

This isn't the same thing as censorship directly, what a long time ago was called the social construction of reality, but there is an exhibition at the National Gallery in London on Renaissance Faces, and the leaflet handed out has a section in which it is most clearly asserted that all these faces are having heterosexual relations, and that none of them are same gender.
This makes a good case, for there will be a new gallery at the Victoria and Albert opening in 2009 on the Renaissance and Middle Ages, and I'd open a book on what pops up. The V&A has spent a million quid on a project on cultural diversity, and cultural diversity becomes the sort of topic with which censorship moves over into tacit and explicit understandings of history, to which I think young people should be introduced.

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

Goldhill's Foucault's virginity makes a good read too
but I think there are real issues about curriculum design, at school, college and undergraduate levels
and the death of Socrates makes a wonderful start for almost anything, being a key moment in the concept of the classical, which gets us to the renaissance and the enlightenment, and then modernity and post modernity, which leaves us with fundamentalism, so almost everything in a nutshell.
Hadrian as enlightened despot makes a good hanger to then ask how we achieved what we call democracy, and how it differs from despotism?
Which gets me to the English Landscape Garden, but that is another thread.

Just wondered if anyone might like to get involved with this conference. It is about comics, but more historical and allows plenty of scope to talk about understandings of the medium (and misunderstandings/censorship).

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

Some really interesting comments, highlighting the role of libraries in the control (or not) of taste, and the availability of texts.

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.

there is an exhibition at the Barbican in London at the moment called Seduced to which you have to be over 18 in order to be allowed in.
This strikes me as ridiculous, but does raise the question of who decides these sorts of things
