  • Apes and Elephants: in Search of Sensation in the Tropical Imaginary
    etropic 12.2 (2013): Tropics of the Imagination 2013 Proceedings | 156 Apes and Elephants: In Search of Sensation in the Tropical Imaginary Barbara Creed University of Melbourne This paper will explore the tropical exotic in relation to the widespread European fascination with tropical animals exhibited in zoos throughout the long nineteenth century. Zoos became places where human animals could experience the chill of a backbone shiver as they came face to face with the animal/other. It will examine the establishment of the first zoos in relation to Harriet Ritvo’s argument that their major imperative was one of classification and control. On the one hand, the zoo fulfilled the public’s desire for wild, exotic creatures while, on the other hand, the zoo reassured the public that its major purpose was control of the natural world encapsulated by the stereotype of tropical excess. I will argue that these various places of exhibition created an uncanny zone in which the European subject was able to encounter its animal self while reaffirming an anthropocentric world view. hroughout the long nineteenth century colonial dignitaries, administrators, and businessmen T captured large numbers of animals from tropical zones and shipped them back to populate European zoos, travelling menageries and fairgrounds. Expansive and well-stocked zoos signified Europe’s imperial might and its ability to impose order on the natural world. In the popular imagination, the tropics constituted an uncanny zone, which represented everything that was antithetical to the European world’s new obsession with order, classification and control. In a Foucauldian sense the zoo became a place, an apparatus, designed to establish a system of power relations between human and animal in which the wild animal body was to be disciplined until rendered docile.

  • Los Angeles County Operational Area Animal Annex
    LOS ANGELES COUNTY OPERATIONAL AREA ANIMAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE ANNEX APPROVED: MARCH 25, 2010 County of Los Angeles OA Emergency Response Plan –Animal Emergency Response Annex LETTER OF PROMULGATION TO: OFFICIALS, EMPLOYEES, AND RESIDENTS OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY Preservation of life and property is an inherent responsibility of local, state, and federal government. The County of Los Angeles developed this Animal Emergency Response Annex to ensure the most effective allocation of resources for the maximum benefit and protection of the public and their animals in time of emergency. While no plan can guarantee prevention of death and destruction, well-developed plans, carried out by knowledgeable and well-trained personnel, can minimize losses. The Animal Emergency Response Annex establishes the County’s emergency policies and procedures in relation to the evacuation, care and sheltering of household pets, service animals and livestock. This Annex provides for the coordination of planning efforts among the various emergency departments, agencies, special districts, and jurisdictions that comprise the Los Angeles County Operational Area. The Animal Emergency Response Annex conforms to the requirements of the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the California Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS). The Animal Emergency Response Annex is an extension of the Operational Area Emergency Response Plan (OAERP). The objective of the OAERP is to incorporate and coordinate all County facilities and personnel, along with the jurisdictional resources of the cities and special districts within the County, into an efficient organization capable of responding to any emergency using SEMS, mutual aid and other appropriate response procedures. The Animal Emergency Response Annex will be reviewed and exercised periodically and revised as necessary to meet changing conditions.

  • Pattern of Cranial Ontogeny in Populations of Gorilla and Pan
    PATTERN OF CRANIAL ONTOGENY IN POPULATIONS OF GORILLA AND PAN A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY JASON S. MASSEY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY KIERAN P. MCNULTY June 2018 © Jason S. Massey, 2018 Acknowledgments I am so deeply indebted to my advisor Dr. Kieran McNulty. I have known Kieran for many years, and in that time, he has provided me with every opportunity to succeed. My first field experience was at his site in Kenya, and since then he has guided me through stimulating areas of study, introduced me to colleagues that have expanded my research interests, and challenged me to be a better and focused researcher. I am an anthropologist because of him. Likewise, I could not have accomplished this without a strong and dedicated committee. I am so grateful for Drs. Martha Tappen, Michael Wilson, David Fox, and Anthony Weinhaus. The interesting discussions, challenging questions, access to data, and support over the many years have been integral to my success. I am also indebted to Drs. Bernard Wood and Shannon McFarlin. This dissertation would not exist without their dedicated support, funding, and patience. They have given me access to needed specimens and many summers of exciting fieldwork. I thank the Department of Anthropology and the community therein for so many years of emotional and academic support. In particular, I would like to thank Kara Kersteter, Nora Last, Megan Whaley, and Barbara London. Additionally, many summers of data collection and fieldwork were funded by numerous block grants and the Graduate Research Partnership Program.

Unsurprisingly, there have been several attempts to undermine the profile of the state.
