Creditc~rd orders I LIII~~IIII~IIIIIIIII111111111111111~ EDITOR’S COMMENT n his work as a writer and editor, formerly here at the WQ and now as man- aging editor of the Atlantic Monthly, Cullen Murphy has made a fine art of Iinterpreting and explaining, for a general lay readership, the often arcane work of scholars and other specialists in fields ranging from archaeology to Soviet studies to medieval history. If he didn’t have so many other talents— including that of a gifted occasional essayist—an envious spirit might be tempted to dismiss him, as Gertrude Stein did Ezra Pound, as a village explainer—“fine if you’re a village,” Stein tartly added, “not if not.” Unlike Miss Stein, I am a vil- lage, and I suspect most Americans are as well. The hunger to understand what is beyond us may be one of the distinctive American appetites; it is certainly one to which Murphy has graciously catered. The cover story of this issue, drawn from Murphy’s forthcoming book, The Word According to Eve, focuses on a new and powerfully revisionary develop- ment within the many disciplines devoted to the study of the Bible. This turn is marked not only by what is being studied—the place and standing of women in the text and times of the Bible—but by who is doing the study—primarily (but not exclusively) women. In the introduction to his book, Murphy brings up sev- eral questions that direct this new investigation, of which I quote only three: “Do certain passages in the Bible, together with evidence of archaeology, pre- serve traces of what may have been a more egalitarian social regime than we might have imagined?” “Does the theology of the Creation stories really mean that woman must be subordinate to man, as centuries of interpretation would have us believe?” “Can we ever know whether parts of the Hebrew Bible or New Testament were written by women?” When Murphy asked a prominent Catholic theologian where he thought such questioning might lead, he got this straightforward answer: “The next intel- lectual revolution.” Murphy’s timely investigation of the investigators makes that response seem altogether plausible.

    KINSHIP WITH ALL LIFE J. Allen Boone NATURE KINSHIP WITH ALL LIfE Is there a unive rsal language of love, a "kinship with all b life" that can open new horizons of experience? '(.; r Example after example in thi s unique class ic-from 11 "Strongheart" the actor-dog to "Freddie" the fly- "---"' resounds with entertaining and inspiring proof that com- munication with animals is a wonderful, indisputable fact. All that is required is an att itude of openness, frie ndliness, humility, and a sense of humor to part the curtain and form bonds of rea l friendship. For anyone who loves animals, for all those who have ever experienced the special devotion only a pet can bring, Kinship With All Life is an unqualified delight.

  • The Changing Valuation of Dogs1
    Sociological Forum, 2020 DOI: 10.1111/socf.12643 © 2020 Eastern Sociological Society The Changing Valuation of Dogs1 Dustin S. Stoltz,2 Justin Van Ness,3 and Mette Evelyn Bjerre4 In recent decades, the United States has witnessed profound changes in the sociocultural valuation of dogs, variously described as humanization, sentimentalization, or sacralization. A broad look at this “sacraliza- tion” of dogs in the United States reveals that this changing valuation has altered dogs’ place within economic processes. In particular, these changes parallel Viviana Zelizer’s work on the changing valuation of children a century ago. In this article, we further specify Zelizer’s insights by arguing that these accompanying economic transformations are best understood as shifting of a dogs’ place within budgetary units: from objects for human consumption to fellow actors humans consume with and around. KEYWORDS: animals; budgetary units; relational work; consumption; economic sociology; human– nonhuman interaction. INTRODUCTION “Dogs Are People Too” reads the title of The New York Times opinion piece by neuroscientist Gregory Berns, author of “How Dogs Love Us,” and more recently, “What It’s Like to Be a Dog.” Based on fMRI data demonstrating functional homology between humans’ and dogs’ brains, Bern states, if we “granted dogs rights of personhood...Puppy mills, laboratory dogs and dog racing would be banned for violating the basic right of self-determination of a person.” Is this new neuroscien- tific evidence sufficient to foment such legal and institutional changes? Bern answers, “I suspect that society is many years away from considering dogs as persons.” Since as early as the 1980s, several scholars noted a trend in our relationship to pets in general, and dogs in particular (e.g., Pallotta 2019; Sanders 2010).

  • Rin Tin Tin and the Hero Dogs
    Amos St. Germain Wentworth Institute of Technology NEPCA Fall 2012 WOOF: Rin Tin Tin and the Hero Dogs My interest in Rin Tin Tin was caused by Susan Orlean’s book of course I knew who RTT was. Unlike my students I know who Hopalong Cassidy was and I know who Roy Rogers was. I owned a full coonskin chat (Davy Crockett) And I remember Sergeant Preston of the Yukon and his wonder dog, King. With an asthmatic father I grew up dog less but like Susan I had a plastic German Shepherd statuette, only mine was Roy Rogers” Bullet nit RTT. This paper is a logical continuation of my previous work on Albert Payson Terhune and the collies of Sunnybank. Orlean Came to RTT as a journalist, a reporter, and an observer of a phenomenon. What you come away with is her vision of participants in a vision, a product and in fact, an industry. As Lee Duncan, RTT’s owner, trainer, companion and father observed. “There will always be a RTT.” There are three phases to the RTT story: the Lee Duncan RTT I and following phase, which is the motion picture phase, the Bert Leonard phase, which was the television phase, envisioned by Leonard in 1953 and birthed as “The Adventures Of RTT” in 1956. (It rose through the TV ratings faster than any show in television history.) and the Daphne Hereford phase which began around 2000 and continues to the present day. There will always be a RTT. The story of RTT begins with Lee Duncan who grew up fatherless with orphanage stints in California.
