  • WORZ Elephant Report Summary 5 March 2018
    WORZ Asian Elephant Facilities and Management Study Summary Prepared for Elephant Planning Workshop, 5 March 2018 Werribee Open Range Zoo − Zoos Victoria Jon Coe Design, Pty. Ltd. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Werribee Open Range Zoo has a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create the world’s best zoo elephant display and management system. It has the expansive site, agreeable climate, motivated and capable staff and most of all the animal welfare mandate to achieve this goal while creating a world-class visitor experience and adding essential research findings benefiting elephant managers the world over. Global populations of wild and traditionally managed elephants are plummeting and the need for self-sustaining insurance populations has never been greater. Thus, this program supports both Zoos Victoria's animal welfare and wildlife conservation mandates. Many in both the global modern zoo community and animal welfare groups agree that despite notable recent progress, zoo elephant facilities and management systems are still not good enough. This realization, supported by recent research and massive public support in many cities, has led to a new Golden Age in zoo elephant design and management, with breakthrough facilities recently across in the US and in Europe. This study profiles research findings from nine ground-breaking international zoo elephant facilities ranging from smaller, urban and intensively managed facilities such as those in Copenhagen and Dublin to expansive and more passively managed exhibits at Boras Djurpark in Sweden and the very green open range facility at North Carolina Zoo. It includes facilities displaying elephants with other species (Dallas Zoo, Boras Djurpark) and exhibits where elephants, rhinos and other species rotate (time share) in ever- moving circuits (Denver Zoo).

  • 12 the Glass Menagerie and the Transformation of the Subject Granger Babcock
    Fall 1999 12 The Glass Menagerie and the Transformation of the Subject Granger Babcock In his Memoirs, Tennessee Williams describes a luncheon with Leonard Bernstein shortly after the New York opening of The Glass Menagerie in 1945. "One day," he writes, "Leonard Bernstein and I were both invited to lunch by a pair of very effete American queens. Bernstein was hard on them and I was embarrassed by the way he insulted them." According to Williams, Bernstein told the men that "'When the Revolution comes ... you will be stood up against a wall and shot.'" Unlike the homophobic Bernstein, Williams says he was "not interested in shooting piss-elegant queens or anyone else": "I am only interested in the discovery of a new social system."1 What seems to concern Williams most about Bernstein's remark is his desire to eradicate a masculinity that opposed the normative American model. Williams, I suspect, wanted Bernstein's identifications to be less fixated on what Williams calls "organized society" and more sympathetic to the "wild gestures" of the marginal culture. For Williams, the anarchy represented by the queens' lunch- time performance is desirable, is art, because it resists the conservatism and conformity Williams associated with the hegemonic version of American masculinity. Williams makes his position clearer in the introduction to 27 Wagons Full of Cotton: Art is only anarchy in juxtaposition with organized society. It runs counter to the sort of orderliness on which organized society apparently must be based. It is a benevolent anarchy: it must be that and if it is true art, it is.
