  • Plasticity in the Life Sciences

    Amy IoneARTICLELeonardo2025References: 1

    In 2010 the journal Nature included a supplement devoted to recent insights on the concept of plasticity. This publication pointed out that uncovering the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying this plasticity is a dynamic area of biology and biomedicine. Indeed, as the introduction stressed, the topic’s appeal is in part due to multiple studies over the past few decades that have shown that cells are considerably more plastic than had been…

  • Pathology and Visual Culture

    Amy IoneARTICLELeonardo2025References: 2

    Pathology and Visual Culture: The Scientific Artworks of Dr. Jean-Martin Charcot and the Salpêtrière School is an example of the increasing contemporary awareness of the value of addressing subjects from an interdisciplinary perspective. Describing the project, Ruiz-Gómez says, The Salpêtrière presents a rich and complex case study because its clinicians saw art and medical science participating equally in the construction of knowledge, the resul…

  • Addiction Becomes Normal

    Amy IoneARTICLELeonardo2024

    Jaeyoon Park concludes his book Addiction Becomes Normal by saying: “Put another way, the late-modern body is one constituted without a coordinating center” (p. 174). Admittedly, I found this an unsettling conclusion, although it was clear how he reached it. The path that led him here was forged by his focus on understanding who “we” are in the present time sociologically. Park notes that a foundational tenet of this study of who “we” are is the …

  • Architecture of Life

    Amy IoneARTICLELeonardo2024References: 1

    Architecture of Life: Soviet Modernism and the Human Sciences is an extensively researched intellectual history of Soviet Modernism in the late 1920s. For Alla Vronskaya, the author and a professor of architectural history at Kassel University, modernism is not merely a style. Rather, she presents it in the book as an effort to formulate a new theory of art and an architecture of life. Situating her study midway between the 1917 Bolshevik revolut…

  • Black is the Color

    Amy IoneARTICLELeonardo2024

    The topic of race in the United States, a country that claims to embrace the values of freedom and equality, has never been straightforward. Black Is the Color illuminates this complicated reality through the lens of African American art from the Civil War emancipation of Black Americans in the nineteenth century through 2016. Key figures, numerous interviews, and archival materials allow viewers to comprehend that Black Americans in the United S…

  • William James, MD

    Amy IoneARTICLELeonardo2024References: 3

    According to Emma K. Sutton, the life and thinking of William James was defined by the question of what it means to be “fit to live.” Her biography of him, William James, MD: Philosopher, Psychologist, Physician, characterizes this in terms of his preoccupation with his own ill health, interest in medical ideas, and personal values. Sutton also argues that James has long been incorrectly portrayed as a man who recovered from the spiritual crisis …

  • Leonardo Da Vinci

    Amy IoneARTICLELeonardo2024

    Leonardo da Vinci, a two-part film by Ken Burns, Sarah Burns, and David McMahon, introduces the life and accomplishments of the fifteenth-century Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519). What works best in this production is the way in which Leonardo’s notebooks are skillfully edited into the narrative, accentuating that they are perhaps the crown jewel of his achievements. Viewing the numerous selections from the many thousands of pages h…

  • Inside the Spiral

    Amy IoneARTICLELeonardo2023

    Suzaan Boettger notes at the end of her book Inside the Spiral: The Passions of Robert Smithson that her bond with Robert Smithson (1938–1973) had always included a series of “coincidences” that benefited her career-long research project. As I began reading the monograph, it seemed coincidental that an article on the environmental challenges at the location of his renowned Spiral Jetty, the Great Salt Lake, landed on my desk. In reference to the …

  • The Empathy Diaries

    Amy IoneARTICLELeonardo2021

    Sherry Turkle’s exemplary research on technology as it relates to humans, personal relationships and children has provided key insights as the computer has ingrained itself in our world. While her early chronicles on innovative technologies were impressive, I felt that the more important contributions were her insights challenging the unbridled enthusiasm of innovative technologists and how technology often compromised privacy. This memoir—primar…
