There is a lot to unpack—literally and figuratively—in the Metropolitan Museum's Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” which closes on September 2. It's about nature and the cycle of life (and as it turns out, there is a lot about death). It also touches on chemistry, biology, mythology, and so much more, all told through the lens of fashion. Added to this litany of themes, the show also tells the story of The Met itself, and the goings-on behind the scenes. It's about how archived garments are preserved and how they are disintegrating. It's not just about clothes, but about how they were worn and who wore them. It tells the story of us. It's a visceral exhibition of over 400 years of fashion that engages the senses. It can be a heady experience. There are the sounds of waves crashing, and birds calling, and poems being read aloud. There is textured wallpaper you can touch—and courtesy of the German artist Sissel Tollas, wallpaper you can scratch and sniff and tubes you can snort. Frankly, this portion of the exhibit kicks like a mule and is unforgettable, with scent being such a powerfully triggering memory force. “Sleeping Beauties” was curated by this week's guest Andrew Bolton, the Curator in Charge of The Costume Institute at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, who previously helmed such blockbusters as “Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty,” “China Through the Looking Glass,” and “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination,” which were some of the most visited exhibitions in the museum's entire history. Today's fashion-exhibit-heavy museum landscape has a lot to do with Bolton's successes, but with his trained anthropologist's eye, he never fails to zero in on the intellectual and human connotations in the garments.

The Super Bowl featured many EV ads but will the public be swayed? James may have settled on an affordable EV to replace his gas car. France has decided to go full nuclear instead of full green. Macron has made a major misjudgement on at least one aspect of the plan: We will need more electricity going forward, not less. Brian buys an expensive automatic expresso machine but he won't reveal the price. Fortunately, there's Google! James announces that he's settled on an economical EV to try to buy. He goes into the pluses and minuses of the Chevy Bolt EV and how he plans to get one. EVs are great in winter until you hit the highway. Then they're a real inconvenience says James. We use abetterrouteplanner.com to plan EV trips in all weather conditions and educate ourselves before buying cars. We discuss Super Bowl electric vehicle ads from Kia, BMW, Nissan, GM, including The Sopranos inspired Silverado E ad.  Wallbox has a weird and controversial Super Bowl ad advertising a home EV charger box. Emmanuel Macron has announced a “renaissance” for the French nuclear industry with a vast programme to build as many as 14 new reactors, arguing that it would help end the country's reliance on fossil fuels and make France carbon neutral by 2050. Tesla dominates 2021 car sales in the state of California. Only the Toyota Camry sold more and just barely.  Hydrogen fuel-cell opportunity window has passed for cars, diminished for trucks Elon Musk links Tesla's current legal and regulatory troubles to its disruptiveness, lack of ads and political contributions 78% of people in the U.K. support the 2050 net zero climate target; 4% (four percent) oppose it. Elon Musk might have actually followed through with the supposedly “world hunger-ending donation” that he questioned last year as Tesla reveals he has donated billions of dollars worth of shares over the last few months. Tesla (TSLA) is reportedly receiving competing bids for second Gigafactory in China Through its new climate change strategy, the US Army intends to slash emissions without compromising readiness. Will use microgrids and EVs to hit net zero by 2050. Wisconsin's public utility companies are now pressuring members of the Wisconsin legislature to pass a bill that would ban government entities from owning or leasing EV chargers and would allow stations to charge for electricity only if it comes from the utility companies and not from privately owned onsite solar installations.

Dr. Ruth Hayhoe, professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto, has dedicated her academic career to the study of Chinese education. Now, after several decades of becoming one of the most recognizable names in the field of international and comparative education, she has compiled some of her most relevant works into a succinct piece for the World Library of Educationalists series, entitled China Through the Lens of Comparative Education: The Selected Works of Ruth Hayhoe (Routledge. 2015). The book consists of three parts: Comparative Education and China, Higher Education and History, Religion, Culture and Education, all of which are made up of past pieces selected by Dr. Hayhoe herself. Dr. Hayhoe joins New Books in Education for the interview to discuss this book and her distinguished career.

Den amerikanska filmskådespelerskan Anna May Wong (1905-1961) betraktades under 1930-talet som en av tidens bästa klädda kvinnor, både privat och professionellt. Hon var även kvick, kul, berest och talade flera språk. Men hon hade ett fel hon hade kinesiska föräldrar. På film fick hon därför bara spela vampar och skurkar och aldrig kyssa en man. Sämre betalt än sina kollegor fick hon också. Hennes ursprung begränsade henne. Men hon var en lysande skådespelare. Och stilmässigt var det ingen som kom i närheten av Anna May Wong. Hennes kläder har inspirerat en hel del designer genom åren och gör det fortfarande även om hennes namn inte längre är särskilt välkänt. I veckans STIL ska vi titta närmare på denna stilsäkra kvinna som var den första amerikansk-kinesiska filmstjärnan. Även om rollerna var begränsade för Anna May Wong, så var intresset för henne gränslöst. Hon var lång 1,74 och smal och plattbröstad och kunde konsten att bära upp kläder som en fotomodell. Hon var mycket modeintresserad, och sydde gärna själv. Hon förekom ofta i fotoreportage och hennes raka hållning, självklara elegans och trendiga klädval prisades över hela världen. Hon var tidigt ute med att 1927 posera i en byxkjol med kavaj, en businessdress för kvinnor kallade hon den. Hon bar gärna den kinesiska klänningsmodellen cheongsam, som populariserades under 30-talet i Kina då den blev figurnära och en favorit bland dåtidens medvetna och bättre bemedlade kvinnor. Just nu kan man se ett par av Anna May Wongs klänningar, och klipp från hennes filmer, på årets stora modeutställning på Metropolitan Museum of Art i New York. China: Through the Looking Glass, heter den. Och där platsar plaggen, och hon, perfekt. För utställningen handlar inte om Kina, utan om hur vi här i väst har tolkat kinesisk kultur och skapat en asiatisk fantasivärld, inte minst inom mode. Och mat! I veckans program tar vi en titt på hur svenska kinarestauranger ofta har varit ett hopkok av en den stereotypa, västerländska bilden av landet i fjärran Öster: ett fejkat Kina. Vi har också åkt till Västerbotten för att gå i skådespelaren Warner Olands fotspår. Eller Verner Öhlund, som han egentligen hette. Han kom ursprungligen från Bjurholm, men kom att bli framgångsrik filmstjärna i Amerika, dit hans familj emigrerade i slutet av 1800-talet. Bland annat spelade Warner Oland mot Anna May Wong, ofta i rollen som kines. Yellowface kallades det. Mer om det berättar vi i veckans program. Veckans gäst är Boel Ulfsdotter, lektor i kulturvetenskaper vid Göteborgs universitet.
