Abstract Stewart’s voice is an exceptionally influential viewpoint in how we imagine and construct the twenty-first century North American home. In an era where more women than men attend college and where women make up a (slim) majority of the workforce, Stewart’s popularity is baffling to many. Locating Stewart within North American traditions of domestic advice, the author investigates how Stewart frames domestic arts as techné, arguing that Stewart’s profitability and popularity are so robust and wide-reaching because she rescues domestic arts from denigration, refiguring homekeeping as a techné of worth and importance. This article provides a framework for understanding the meaningful ways domesticity and design function as an ethics of daily life, problematizing the gendered dichotomy between production and consumption.

艺术与苦差事：家政、玛莎·斯图尔特和 Techné

摘要 斯图尔特的声音在我们如何想象和建造 21 世纪的北美家园方面是一个非常有影响力的观点。在这个上大学的女性多于男性且女性在劳动力中占（微薄）大多数的时代，斯图尔特的受欢迎程度令许多人感到困惑。将斯图尔特置于北美家庭建议传统中，作者调查了斯图尔特如何将国内艺术视为技术，认为斯图尔特的盈利能力和知名度如此强大和广泛，因为她将国内艺术从诋毁中拯救出来，将家政重新定义为一种有价值的技术重要性。本文提供了一个框架，用于理解家庭生活和设计作为日常生活伦理的有意义的方式，对生产和消费之间的性别二分法提出问题。
