  • 26 the Exploration of Humanism Through Prejudice
    The Exploration of Humanism through Prejudice: 19th Century Freak Shows and the Images of the “Human” Body Andrea Poppiti Posing a Question Throughout the modern era, the definition of “the human” has been explored and defined countless times in response to an ever-changing society, constant political and social upheavals, and the classification of morals. Philosophers, psychologists, and scholars alike have contemplated the idea of the human in an effort to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the mind in a social, personal, and cultural context. While multiple historical events and social studies can provide evidence for an argument regarding human nature, one could further pursue a definition of the human being by exploring its presumable antithesis: the physically abject and abnormal individual. The term “freak” was used throughout the 19th century to describe these individuals: people with “physical, mental, or behavioral anomalies, both alleged and real” (Freak Show 2). Despite its negative connotation and offensive implication, the present use of the word “freak” will ensure historical accuracy and realistic accounts of circus-life. The American freak show, which reached the height of its popularity during the 19th century, showcased those with physical abnormalities and intriguing anomalies in order to attract a crowd of paying customers. While seen as a sick and twisted business venture by our modern society, the 19th century freak show industry thrived during an age of constant change. By exploring the perception of circus freaks during the heyday of American freak shows in the 19th century, one may question whether it is possible to interpret the norms of humanness and understand the implications of social prejudice from a post-modern perspective.

  • The Jim Crow Museum's Traveling Exhibit ―Hateful Things‖ Is Drawn from Some 4,000 Pieces That Represent Nearly 150 Years of Anti-Black, Racist Objects and Images
    The Jim Crow Museum's traveling exhibit ―Hateful Things‖ is drawn from some 4,000 pieces that represent nearly 150 years of anti-Black, racist objects and images. Each object in the exhibit is accompanied by a didactic panel explaining its historical and cultural significance. The traveling exhibit has made its way around the state of Michigan at various colleges and universities but has never been on display at a high school venue. In addition to the 39 pieces and didactic panels, the exhibit includes a documentary (DVD format). Installation requirements call for a minimum linear wall space of 150 feet, minimum floor space of 300 feet and proper lighting and security. Additional information is available at the Museum Website at http://www.ferris.edu/jimcrow/menu.htm HATEFUL THINGS DETAILED INVENTORY C1-01 JOLLY NIGGER BANK 11 x 11 x 11 This is the infamous Jolly Nigger Bank that first appeared in the 1880s. Its eyes roll back when it swallows coins. Many companies produced versions of the bank. It was mass-produced until the 1960s. The Civil Rights Movement sensitized many Americans to the horrors of racial stereotyping and racial caricaturing; hence, objects like the Jolly Nigger Bank lost some of their appeal in the 1960s and 1970s. However, in the 1980s racist collectibles were again in high demand. Vintage versions of the Jolly Nigger Bank escalated in value, and cheap reproductions of the bank became commonplace. This bank is from the 1920s. C1-02 TOBACCO TIN 8 x 9 x 8 Beginning in 1878, the B. Leidersdory Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, produced NiggerHair Smoking Tobacco.

  • The Freak and 'Disabled' Multiculturality
    THE FREAK AND ‘DISABLED’ MULTICULTURALITY Elisa Bordin Ca’ Foscari University, Venice ABSTRACT Differently from positive visions of multiculturality as the richness of American diversity, in this essay I tackle ‘negative multiculturalism’ as one of the elements of the category of the freak, where cultural, ethnic and racial difference coincided with disability, all concocting to fence off diversity in American society. I understand the freak as a field for multicultural criticism because of its recruitment processes, as evidenced by the case of the Italian Tocci brothers, but also as a place of confinement and exoticization of the American citizen who, as a consequence of disability, came to inhabit a transnational category used to police concepts of ‘normal’ masculinity and femininity. In this reading, multiculturality is understood as a fabrication that veils processes of enfreakment. Keywords: Freak, Disability, Tocci Brothers, Conjoined Twins, Negative Multiculturalism. In the perceived deficiency of the Other, each perceives—without knowing it—the falsity of his/her own subject position. (Slavoj Žižek, The Universal Exception, 2006, 160) n The Golden Door (2006), director Emanuele Crialese tells the story of the Italian I Mancuso family and their migration to the United States. After dreaming of America as a land of milk and honey, once they have crossed the Atlantic Ocean the family have to face the examinations of Ellis Island, the port of entry to the United States for European migrants, and the ‘scientific’ interpretation of immigrant bodies as potentially deviant. In that in-between space, functioning as a sort of limen where migrants, although physically in the US, continue to inhabit their Old World identity, the Italian family must undergo a series of abusive examinations that reveal the implicit discrimination of scientific and objective readings of culturally different bodies.

The ideational and affective matter of a book travels long and far; in my case, all the way back to the toads hopping in my backyard in Illinois at a time when I seemed only a bit bigger than them. So I begin with heartfelt thanks to the toads: literally grubby and ponderous yet lightning fast with food items; squinting as they sloughed off their own molting skin, seem- ingly neckless but surprisingly flexible; walking, hopping, and swim- ming; and hunched and still when I came upon them in their cold hibernations. Toads infused my lifelong experience with their pecu- liar, but resolute, grace, with a style of creatureliness that I could and could not occupy.
