Early life and education


Françoise Nyssen grew up and attended university in Belgium.[1] She has a maîtrise (Master's degree) from the Institut supérieur d’urbanisme et de rénovation urbaine in Brussels.



Career


Early in her career, Nyssen worked first as an urban planner in Paris.[2]


In 1987, Nyssen became an associate and presiding director of Actes Sud publisher, founded by her father Hubert Nyssen,[1] and located in Arles.[3] Françoise Nyssen and her husband founded in 2014 the school Domaine du possible, using Steiner-Waldorf paedagogical methods.[4] The school settled in a farm a few kilometers away from Arles center, where a hundred pupils, aged from 3 to 16, are enrolled on September 2016.[4]


On 17 May 2017, Nyssen was appointed as French Minister of Culture, as the successor of Audrey Azoulay.[2] On 13 November 2017, she announced the launch of a new fund to support young designers with 300,000 € to be invested in 10 projects yearly.[5]


During her time in office, Nyssen faced accusations over renovations done in her previous publishing house’s outpost in Arles in 2011.[6] Shortly after, the public prosecutor’s office in Paris launched a preliminary investigation into Nyssen, after French weekly Le Canard Enchaîné reported that she had failed to declare building renovations in her prior career as a publisher.[6] In October 2018, she was replaced by Franck Riester in a cabinet reshuffle.[7]

(November 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) The Westermarck effect , or reverse sexual imprinting, is a hypothetical psychological effect through which people who live in close domestic proximity during the first few years of their lives become desensitized to sexual attraction. This phenomenon was first hypothesized by Finnish anthropologist Edvard Westermarck in his book The History of Human Marriage (1891) as one explanation for the incest taboo. Observations interpreted as evidence for the Westermarck effect have since been made in many places and cultures, including in the Israeli kibbutz system, and the Chinese Shim-pua marriage customs, as well as in biologically-related families. In the case of the Israeli kibbutzim (collective farms), children...
