If these people cannot go to the country, thenthe Museum mustbring nature to the city."' "I startedmy thoughtson the legend of Romulusand Remus who had been suckled by a wolfand foundedRome, but in thejungle I had mylittle Lord Greystokesuckled by an ape."2 I. The AkeleyAfrican Hall andthe Theodore Roosevelt Memorial in the Ameri- can Museumof Natural History: Experience In theheart of New York City stands Central Park--the urban garden designed by FrederickLaw Olmstedto heal the over-wroughtor decadentcity dweller witha prophylacticdose of nature. Immediately across from the park the Theodore RooseveltMemorial presides as the centralbuilding of the AmericanMuseum of NaturalHistory, a monumentalreproduction of the Gardenof Eden. In the Garden,Western Man may beginagain the firstjourney, the firstbirth from withinthe sanctuaryof nature.An institutionfounded just afterthe CivilWar anddedicated to populareducation and scientific research, the American Museum ofNatural History is theplace to undertakethis genesis, this regeneration. Passing throughthe Museum's Roosevelt Memorial atrium into the African Hall, opened in 1936,the ordinarycitizen may entera privilegedspace and time:the Age of Mammalsin the heartof Africa,scene of theorigin of our species.3A hope is implicitin everyarchitectural detail: in immediatevision of theorigin, perhaps the futurecan be fixed.By savingthe beginnings, the end can be achievedand the presentcan be transcended.African Hall offersa uniquecommunion with natureat itshighest and yet most vulnerable moment, the moment of the interface of theAge ofMammals with the Age ofMan. Thiscommunion is offeredthrough thesense of vision by the craft of taxidermy. Restorationof the origin, the task of genetic hygiene, is achievedin Carl Akeley's AfricanHall by an art thatbegan for him in the 1880swith the crudestuffing of P.T. Barnum'selephant, Jumbo, who had been rundown by a railroadtrain, theemblem of theIndustrial Revolution. The end of histask came in the1920s, withhis exquisitemounting of theGiant of Karisimbi,the lone silverback male gorillathat dominates the dioramadepicting the site of Akeley'sown gravein themountainous rain forest of the Congo, today's Zaire. So itcould inhabit Akeley's monumentto thepurity of nature,this gorilla was killedin 1921,the same year the Museumhosted the Second InternationalCongress of Eugenics.From the 20 This content downloaded from 164.41.223.39 on Wed, 10 Apr 2013 10:34:23 AM All use subject to JSTOR Terms and Conditions Teddy Bear Patriarchy 21 dead bodyof the primate, Akeley crafted something finer than the living organism; he achievedits true end, a newgenesis. Decadence-the threatof thecity, civili- zation,machine-was stayed in thepolitics of eugenicsand theart of taxidermy. And theMuseum fulfilled its scientific purpose of conservation,of preservation, of theproduction of permanence. Life was transfiguredin the principal civic arena of Westernpolitical theory-the natural body of man.4 Behindevery mounted animal, bronze sculpture, or photographlies a profusion of objectsand social interactionsamong people and otheranimals, which in the end can be recomposedto tell a biographyembracing major themes for 20th- centuryUnited States. But the recompositionproduces a storythat is reticent, even mute,about Africa. H.F. Osborn,president of theAmerican Museum from 1908-33,thought Akeley was Africa's biographer. This essay will argue that Akeley is America'sbiographer, or rathera biographerof partof North America. Akeley thoughtin AfricanHall the visitorwould experiencenature at its momentof highestperfection. He did not dreamthat he craftedthe meansto experience a historyof race, sex, and class in New York Citythat reached to Nairobi.He thoughthe was tellingthe unifiedtruth of naturalhistory. His storywill be re- composedto tella tale of thecommerce of powerand knowledgein whiteand malesupremacist monopoly capitalism, fondly named Teddy Bear Patriarchy.5 To enterthe Theodore Roosevelt Memorial, the visitor must pass by a James Earle Fraserequestrian statue of Teddy majesticallymounted as a fatherand protectorbetween two "primitive"men, an AmericanIndian and an African, bothstanding and dressedas "savages."The facadeof thememorial, funded by theState of NewYork and awardedto theAmerican Museum of Natural History on the basis of its competitiveapplication in 1923,is classical,with four Ionic columns54 feethigh topped by statuesof thegreat explorers Boone, Audubon, Lewis,and Clark.Reminiscent of coins,bas-relief seals of theUnited States and of the LibertyBell are stampedon the frontpanels. Inscribedacross the top are thewords TRUTH, KNOWLEDGE,VISION and thededication to Roosevelt as "a greatleader of theyouth of America,in energyand fortitudein the faith of ourfathers, in defenseof the rights of the people, in thelove and conservation of natureand of the best in lifeand in man."Youth, paternal solicitude, virile defenseof democracy,and intenseemotional connection to natureare the un- mistakeablethemes.6 The buildingpresents itself in manyvisible faces. It is at once a Greektemple, a bank,a scientificresearch institution, a popular museum, a neoclassicaltheatre. One is enteringa space thatsacralizes democracy, Protestant Christianity, ad- venture,science, and commerce.It is impossiblenot to feelentering this building thata dramawill be enactedinside. Experience in thispublic monument will be intenselypersonal; this structure is one of NorthAmerica's spaces forjoining theduality of self and community.

Then fill in theansweronyouranswerdocument. from Jake Drake, Teacher’s Pet by Andrew Clements 1 When I was in third grade, we got five new computers in our classroom. Mrs. Snavin was my third-grade teacher, and she acted like computers were scary, especially the new ones. She always needed to look at a how-to book and the computer at the same time. Even then, she got mixed up a lot. Then she had to call Mrs. Reed, the librarian, to come and show her what to do. 2 So it was a Monday morning in May, and Mrs. Snavin was sitting in front of a new computer at the back of the room. She was confused about a program we were supposed to use for a math project. My desk was near the computers, and I was watching her. 3 Mrs. Snavin looked at the screen, and then she looked at this book, and then back at the screen again. Then she shook her head and let out this big sigh. I could tell she was almost ready to call Mrs. Reed. 4 I’ve always liked computers, and I know how to do some stuff with them. Like turn them on and open programs, play games and type, make drawings, and build Web pages—things like that.

  • Chapter 18 Video, “The Stockyard Jungle,” Portrays the Horrors of the Meatpacking Industry First Investigated by Upton Sinclair
    The Progressive Movement 1890–1919 Why It Matters Industrialization changed American society. Cities were crowded with new immigrants, working conditions were often bad, and the old political system was breaking down. These conditions gave rise to the Progressive movement. Progressives campaigned for both political and social reforms for more than two decades and enjoyed significant successes at the local, state, and national levels. The Impact Today Many Progressive-era changes are still alive in the United States today. • Political parties hold direct primaries to nominate candidates for office. • The Seventeenth Amendment calls for the direct election of senators. • Federal regulation of food and drugs began in this period.

  • Country, House, Fiction Kristen Kelly Ames
    Conventions Were Outraged: Country, House, Fiction Kristen Kelly Ames A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN ENGLISH YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO June 2014 © Kristen Kelly Ames, 2014 ii ABSTRACT The dissertation traces intersections among subjectivity, gender, desire, and nation in English country house novels from 1921 to 1949. Inter-war and wartime fiction by Daphne du Maurier, Virginia Woolf, Nancy Mitford, P. G. Wodehouse, Elizabeth Bowen, and Evelyn Waugh performs and critiques conventional domestic ideals and, by extension, interrupts the discourses of power that underpin militaristic political certainties. I consider country house novels to be campy endorsements of the English home, in which characters can reimagine, but not escape, their roles within mythologized domestic and national spaces. The Introduction correlates theoretical critiques of nationalism, class, and gender to illuminate continuities among the naïve patriotism of the country house novel and its ironic figurations of rigid class and gender categories. Chapter 1 provides generic and critical contexts through a study of du Maurier’s Rebecca, in which the narrator’s subversion of social hierarchies relies upon the persistence, however ironic, of patriarchal nationalism. That queer desire is the necessary center around which oppressive norms operate only partially mitigates their force. Chapter 2 examines figures of absence in “A Haunted House,” To the Lighthouse, and Orlando. Woolf’s queering of the country house novel relies upon her Gothic figuration of Englishness, in which characters are only included within nationalist spaces by virtue of their exclusion.
