Kobiety w wyrazistym makijażu są postrzegane jako "mniej ludzkie"
Fragment pochodzi z książki "Jak być renesansową kobietą" Jill Burke. Makijaż kojarzono z "seksualizacją kobiecych ciał", które odbierano jako "pozbawione intelektu i statusu moralnego oraz posiadające mniejszą zdolność działania, mniejszą liczbę unikalnie ludzkich cech, mniejsze kompetencje, mniej ciepła i mniej moralności niż twarze pozbawione makijażu". Wyniki tego badania były szeroko komentowane w prasie, mimo że opierało się na problematycznym założeniu.
Renaissance Goo: Senses and Materials in Early Modern Apothecary Taxonomies and Soft Matter Science
Abstract This essay brings together research in the history of science and soft matter physics to consider how early modern Italian apothecaries organised and communicated their knowledge from the fourteenth to the seventeenth century through an “apothecary taxonomy.” This was based on a what we call a “hylocentric” classification scheme (from the Greek hyle = matter, material, stuff) founded on a tactile understanding of materials.

The Best Art Books of 2023
Before we launch into the best art books of 2023 that you selected, tell me about your book Pinch Me. What prompted you to write this book, here and now? It was a painting that prompted me, a modest work by Picasso, a still life with a jug and apples, in Paris. I was so struck by it, experiencing a kind of full-body presence. And it was especially surprising because it’s a very unassuming painting. I wasn’t expecting it to have this effect on me.

How to Be a Renaissance Woman: The Untold History of Beauty and Female Creativity
Last month, the Taliban government in Afghanistan indulged in a particularly malicious act towards women, passing a law closing all beauty salons. Having run a truck through all other freedoms, it attacked the one remaining place where women could still find employment and meet and mingle outside the home. Did those heroic religious warriors really see such spaces as cauldrons of vanity?
Think Tinder’s shallow? Try Renaissance marriage portraits
Good catch: Portrait of Joan Thornbury (1566) by Hans Eworth Marriage doesn’t seem to have made Joan Thornbury very happy, judging by her 1566 portrait by Hans Eworth – a Flemish artist known for his paintings of gentry and nobility in Tudor England. This month, Thornbury will be reunited with her husband Richard Wakeman (Eworth’s portraits of the couple were originally intended to be hung together) in Painted Love: Renaissance Marriage Portraits at the Holburne Museum in Bath.

お金に強い大人になるために。10代のうちに学んでおきたい10のこと
目的にかなったレッスンと思慮深いロールモデルは、10代（ティーンエイジャー）の子どもに生涯利用できる金融スキルをもたらす。 親たちは、10代の子どもに所得・貯蓄・予算・信用管理の基本を教えることを目標にすべきだ。 また、10代の子どもが欲しいものと必要なものを区別できるようにし、教育用アプリやウェブサイトを通じて、彼らの金融リテラシーを高めるといいだろう。 お金の管理は、本能的には身に付かない。人のやり方を見たり、直接体験したりして学ぶものだ。親のお金に関する会話やお金の使い方も、10代の子どもにとっては強力なメッセージとなる。 だが、親がお金について正しい判断を下すのを眺めていても、それで十分とは言えない。自分で責任を負いたい、関わりたい、と彼らは考える。お金に関して目的を持った議論をし、期待を抱くことで、子どもは自分の収入や資産を守り、高くつく過ちを避けるために必要な経験と知識を持った大人へと一歩を踏み出せるようになるのだ。...
