Сегодня доставили только что вышедшую книгу Charles Murray 'Two Truths About Race in America'.

https://www.amazon.com/Facing-Reality-Truths-about-America/dp/1641771976/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=murray+Charles&qid=1623802907&sr=8-1

#1 bestseller in Federal Education Legislation. Народ интересуется.

Первый абзац Introduction:
I decided to write this book in the summer of 2020 because of my dismay at the disconnect between the rhetoric about 'systemic racism' and the facts. The uncritical acceptance of that narrative by the nation's elite news media amounted to an unwillingness to face reality."

Впереди, очевидно, много крамолы.

Автору 78 лет, можно ничего не опасаться. Впрочем, он и раньше был не из пугливых.

Музей города Талса приобрел конный портрет короля Испании Филиппа IV (из дома Габсбургов, правнука Карла V).

Картина принадлежит кисти афро-американского художника Kehinde Wiley, который написал аж самого Обаму для Национальной портретной галереи.

Особенно хорошо портрет смотрится в the “Italian Room” of the historic villa :

A New York Museum Is Selling Its Only Jackson Pollock Painting at Christie’s to Fund Acquisitions of Work by Women and Artists of Color

The Everson Museum, which focuses on American art, is the latest institution to resort to deaccessioning in an effort to diversify its collection. Last year, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art sold a Mark Rothko painting (which, coincidentally, also had a connection to Peggy Guggenheim) for $50 million to create a dedicated acquisition fund, while the Baltimore Museum of Art sold off seven works by white male artists to create a war chest for acquisitions of art by women and artists of color in 2018.

Всего за какие-нибудь скромные 70 тысяч в год Йель дает отменное образование:

Starting next year, Yale University will no longer offer “Introduction to Art History: Renaissance to Present,” a once-renowned survey course of art through Western Civilization, because it has been deemed insufficiently inclusive of non-European artwork.

The news agency notes that while the course was once considered “quintessential,” the decision is the “latest response to student uneasiness over an idealized Western ‘canon’ – a product of an overwhelmingly white, straight European and male cadre of artists.”While the course will still be offered for the duration of the term, the news agency notes that the topics in the course have changed significantly over time. Now, the curriculum will emphasize the relationship between works from Western and non-Western countries, and students will be encouraged to consider the ways the artwork relates to race, gender, class, capitalism, and climate change.

Термин 'Золотой век' применительно к Голландии 17 века теперь не комильфо:

The Amsterdam Museum Drops the Term ‘Golden Age,’ Arguing That It Whitewashes the Inequity of the Period

In the coming months, the museum will remove all appearances of the term in its galleries. It will also change the name of its permanent “Dutchmen of the Golden Age” exhibition at the Hermitage Museum—an Amsterdam-based branch of the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, Russia—to “Group Portraits From the 17th Century.”

The renaming effort is part of a larger campaign at the Amsterdam museum to become more inclusive. Later this month, the institution will host a symposium for museum professionals and community members about the way it represents the nation’s history in the 17th century. That same day, the museum will open a new photography exhibition positioned as a response to “Group Portraits From the 17th Century,” in which Dutch people of color are shown in historical settings.

These moves are part of a wave of museums reconsidering the way they have presented their collections for decades. Last year, for example, the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto renamed the Canadian artist Emily Carr’s 1929 painting Indian Church as Church at Yuquot Village to acknowledge the Indigenous community that lived where the church was located.

The Problem of ‘the Golden Age’
by Tom van der Molen (a curator at the Amsterdam Museum)

Dutch Golden Age, a period that witnessed the unprecedented, unique blossoming of power, wealth and cultural development in a small territory, was an important part of the way in which history was used to cement a sense of national identity. He therefore referred to it emphatically as ‘our Golden Age’ the heyday was our pride, our property, and part of the identify of every ‘cultivated Dutchman’. In other words, ‘Golden Age’ is a term devised to gold-plate Dutch national identity, to dress ‘cultivated Dutchness’ in a coat of excellence – indeed, superiority – with regard to all other nations. This means that ‘Golden Age’ is a term that automatically excludes certain people. If your ancestors did not share in the power and wealth of the seventeenth century, or were actually among the victims of the Dutch Republic’s efforts to increase its power and wealth, the term ‘Golden Age’ is at best irrelevant to you, and at worst a phrase that bristles with hostility.

Воспитание нового человека в ~~СССР~~ Калифорнии:

In an effort to be more inclusive, the Berkeley City Council adopted an ordinance Tuesday to replace gendered language in the city’s municipal code with neutral terms. Personal pronouns like “she,” “he,” “her” and “him” will change to “they” and “them.”“Fireman” or “firewoman” will become “firefighter.”
“Manpower” will be eschewed for “human effort” or “workforce,” while “maintenance hole” will replace “manhole.”
In total, more than two dozen commonly used terms will be changed in the city code after the measure unanimously passed.

Братьев и сестер тоже упразднили. 'Brother' теперь будет 'sibling', сестра тоже 'sibling'.

Стало быть, 'brotherly love' станет 'sibling's love', a 'братья по оружию' - 'siblings in arms'.

Каина теперь будут спрашивать "where is your sibling Abel?'

The Wright siblings создали аэроплан, а The Lumière siblings - кино;
The Barry siblings пели песни, The Strugatsky siblings писали книги, а The Siblings Grimm собирали фольклор и писали сказки.

В литературе же просто красота:

'The Karamazov siblings'
'The Serapion siblings'
'Three siblings' (пьеса)
'Sibling Carrie'
'The Siblings" (А.Н. Толстой)
The Lautensack siblings'
и т.д.

А лучше всех будет выглядеть на английском название романа Федора Абрамова 'Братья и сестры'.

В Национальной галерее в Вашингтоне сменился директор. Директором впервые в истории этого музея стала женщина. Об этом знаменательнейшем событии, естественно, многократно сообщили в прессе, а также на сайте галереи: https://www.nga.gov/about/directors-welcome.html.

Вот что о ней говорится в Вики:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaywin_Feldman

Директорствует в разных музеях с 28 лет, минуя, судя по всему, кураторство.

А вот что эта дама опубликовала в мае 2018 года в журнале "Apollo", будучи директором Minneapolis Institute of Art (Mia):

I keep thinking about the psychological toll that this volatile time must be taking on our collective psyche. Every day we are battered with, among other things, unpresidential tweets from the American president; threats to global democracy; cyber criminals stealing data and elections; an unconscionable and endless war in Syria; gun violence in America; the plight of desperate refugees; the chaos surrounding Brexit; and the fact that many Puerto Ricans still don’t have electricity. It is tough enough to navigate all this anxiety as a private citizen, but perhaps even harder as the leader of an arts organisation.

...

In my 25-year career as a museum director, I have not seen a more challenging time to be an arts leader; the national and global political climates have created a situation in which our essential principles are under attack. It is not appropriate for a public museum to take positions in partisan politics. We must, however, stand up for what we believe in and defend our values. During this time of contention, I am anxious to protect beliefs that are core to Mia and that frequently seem threatened today, including:

•Gender equality
• Diversity, inclusion, equity, and access
• Social justice
• Global understanding
• Scientific research
• Liberal education for all
• Open democracy and freedom of speech
• Essentialness of the arts

Для полноты впечатлений лучше прочитать целиком.

Не знаю, как у нее с историей искусства ( никаких ее публикаций я пока не обнаружила, в отличие от директоров Метрополитена, Уффици, Рейксмузеума, Лувра, Орсэ, Эрмитажа, Пинакотеки и др.), но social justice фонтанирует.

Что будет с галереей, Бог весть. Надо сказать, что этого калабуховского дома мне будет жаль, как мало какого другого.

Scottish Parliament staff BANNED from saying gingerbread ‘man’ at Holyrood coffee shop because it’s not gender neutral – as they rename biscuits ‘gingerbread people’

Parliament workers have labelled the treats “person” over fears the traditional name could offend

Wiki о прянинчном человечке:
Gingerbread dates from the 15th century, and figural biscuit-making was practiced in the 16th century. The first documented instance of figure-shaped gingerbread biscuits was at the court of Elizabeth I of England. She had the gingerbread figures made and presented in the likeness of some of her important guests.

In February 2018 we launched Reflecting Realities, a new study into ethnic representation in children’s literature. Funded by the Arts Council, the aim is to quantify and evaluate the extent and quality of ethnic representation in children’s publishing in the UK. This process involved processing submissions of all children's literature published in the UK that featured Black or minority ethnic (BAME) characters to determine to what extent they were represented.

Summary of findings

Международная федерация футбола (ФИФА) попросит собственную съемочную группу и национальных телевещателей реже показывать в кадре привлекательных болельщиц во время трансляций матчей чемпионата мира по футболу.

ФИФА призвала телевещателей меньше показывать симпатичных болельщиц в трансляциях Чемпионата мира по футболу из-за антидискриманицонной кампании, которую проводит Международная Федерация футбола. Как отмечает «Ассошиейтед Пресс», ФИФА опасалась, что во время трансляций будут нарушения, связанные с расизмом, но эксперты обнаружили случаи сексизма.

A small town in Hesse has removed a children's song about a fox stealing a goose from its repertoire of town hall bell melodies, after a vegan resident became quite upset.

The storybook town of Limburg an der Lahn in Hesse enjoys serenading its residents with melodies played by its town hall glockenspiel - an instrument made up of chimes, also called a carillon.

The tunes included the classic 19th century children’s song Fuchs, Du hast die Gans gestohlen - “Fox, you stole the Goose”. That is, it included the folk tune until a vegan woman complained.

The song describes a mischievous fox who steals a goose, and the singer warns the bushy-tailed creature that the hunter will now likely kill him.

Town spokesman Johannes Laubach said on Thursday that the tune reminded the woman of the song's lyrics, which tell the fox: “the hunter will get you with his gun”.
