Prang & Co, 1892. FIRST CONTACTS, FIRST EXHIBITS nowledge about the world changed dramatically around 1492 when Europe discovered the figure of the “savage” in the guise of the Amerindian. Christopher Columbus returned from one of his earliest expeditions and presented six Amerindians to the Spanish royal court, Kthereby triggering widespread fascination for everything that was considered remote. In 1528, Hernán Cortés exhibited Aztec Copenhagen of Danmark, Museum National © The performers at the court of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. In 1550, a royal procession in Rouen before the French King Henry II featured Tupinamba Indians from Brazil. It was at this time that the Valladolid © Collections Bibliothèque municipale de Rouen/ Photographie Thierry Ascencio-Parvy Thierry Photographie de Rouen/ municipale Bibliothèque © Collections debatetook place concerning the treatment of natives from the New World. Hierarchies based on skin color became commonplace and the transatlantic slave trade would later impact millions of Africans. “Monsters”such as Antonietta Gonsalvus (who suffered from Hyper- trichosis, a condition characterized by excessive hair growth) were also exhibited, just like her father Petrus had been when he was offered at age ten to King Henry II. Alongside these humans, exotica Brazilian Party in the presence of Henry II and Catherine de Medici displayed in cabinets of curiosities were also coveted by monarchs [Rouen, France], watercolor, 1550. and aristocrats throughout the sixteenth century. In 1654, three female and one male Eskimo, abducted in Greenland, were exhibited in Denmark (where they would die five years later) and introduced © BNF, Paris to King Frederick III, thereby reinvigorating a newfound “passion for exotica”. A clash between two types would emerge during the fol- lowing century, that of the “noble savage” and the “bloodthirsty sav- age”, curiosity for human exhibits displayed in taverns and at fairs continued to grow, and by the end of the eighteenth century to capture the attention of learned scientists. By this time, some “human spec- imens” had achieved celebrity status, such as the Polynesian Aotourouv who was brought to Paris in 1769 to meet King Louis XV. A similar fate awaited the Polynesian Omaï in London 1774.

The Polynesian Omaï (1774-1776) In 1774, a young Pacific islander named Omaï arrived in Great Britain for a two year stay.

ABSTRACT This thesis examines Shanghai’s urbanisation by applying Henri Lefebvre’s theories of the production of space and everyday life. A review of Lefebvre’s theories indicates that each mode of production produces its own space. Capitalism is perpetuated by producing new space and commodifying everyday life. Applying Lefebvre’s regressive-progressive method as a methodological framework, this thesis periodises Shanghai’s history to the ‘semi-feudal, semi-colonial era’, ‘socialist reform era’ and ‘post-socialist reform era’. The Shanghai World Exposition 2010 was chosen as a case study to exemplify how urbanisation shaped urban experience. Empirical data was collected through semi-structured interviews. This thesis argues that Shanghai developed a ‘state-led/-participation mode of production’.

They offered viewers the opportunity to see animals that they otherwise would never have seen. These animals were kept in cages to protect the zoo-goers. The history of zoos demonstrates a conflicting desire between our human need to connect with animals as well as our fear (literal and metaphoric) of what that connection might mean.

  • 9 the Beautiful Skulls of Schiller and the Georgian Girl Quantitative and Aesthetic Scaling of the Races, 1770–1850
    9 The beautiful skulls of Schiller and the Georgian girl Quantitative and aesthetic scaling of the races, 1770–1850 Robert J. Richards Isak Dinesen, in one of her gothic tales about art and memory, spins a story of a nobleman’s startling recognition of a prostitute he once loved and abandoned. He saw her likeness in the beauty of a young woman’s skull used by an artist friend. After we had discussed his pictures, and art in general, he said that he would show me the prettiest thing that he had in his studio. It was a skull from which he was drawing. He was keen to explain its rare beauty to me. “It is really,” he said, “the skull of a young woman [. .].” The white polished bone shone in the light of the lamp, so pure. And safe. In those few seconds I was taken back to my room [. .] with the silk fringes and the heavy curtains, on a rainy night of fifteen years before. (Dinesen 1991, 106‒107)1 The skulls pictured in Figure 9.1 have also been thought rare beauties and evocative of something more. On the left is the skull of a nameless, young Caucasian female from the Georgian region. Johann Friedrich Blumenbach, the great anatomist and naturalist, celebrated this skull, prizing it because of “the admirable beauty of its formation” (bewundernswerthen Schönheit seiner Bildung). He made the skull an aesthetic standard, and like the skull in Dinesen’s tale, it too recalled a significant history (Blumenbach 1802, no. 51). She was a young woman captured during the Russo-Turkish war (1787–1792) and died in prison; her dissected skull had been sent to Blumenbach in 1793 (Dougherty and Klatt 2006‒2015, IV, 256‒257).

  • And the Hamitic Hypothesis
    religions Article Ancient Egyptians in Black and White: ‘Exodus: Gods and Kings’ and the Hamitic Hypothesis Justin Michael Reed Department of Biblical Studies, Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Louisville, KY 40205, USA; [email protected] Abstract: In this essay, I consider how the racial politics of Ridley Scott’s whitewashing of ancient Egypt in Exodus: Gods and Kings intersects with the Hamitic Hypothesis, a racial theory that asserts Black people’s inherent inferiority to other races and that civilization is the unique possession of the White race. First, I outline the historical development of the Hamitic Hypothesis. Then, I highlight instances in which some of the most respected White intellectuals from the late-seventeenth through the mid-twentieth century deploy the hypothesis in assertions that the ancient Egyptians were a race of dark-skinned Caucasians. By focusing on this detail, I demonstrate that prominent White scholars’ arguments in favor of their racial kinship with ancient Egyptians were frequently burdened with the insecure admission that these ancient Egyptian Caucasians sometimes resembled Negroes in certain respects—most frequently noted being skin color. In the concluding section of this essay, I use Scott’s film to point out that the success of the Hamitic Hypothesis in its racial discourse has transformed a racial perception of the ancient Egyptian from a dark-skinned Caucasian into a White person with appearance akin to Northern European White people. Keywords: Ham; Hamite; Egyptian; Caucasian; race; Genesis 9; Ridley Scott; Charles Copher; Samuel George Morton; James Henry Breasted Citation: Reed, Justin Michael. 2021.

    AB SEK II Anders sein / Internationale Beziehungen / Macht und Ohnmacht / SEK II: Imperialismus Kultur und Vergnügungen /Kolonialismus / Kaiserzeit Hagenbecks „Völkerschauen“ Schon im römischen Reich und wieder im Absolutismus wurden in Europa Menschen aus entfernten Weltgegenden wegen ihrer fremden Lebensweise und ihres anderen Aussehens ausgestellt. Es waren meistens Menschen aus Ethnien, deren Gebiet erobert wurde. Eine Blüte erfuhren diese „Menschenzoos“ in der Zeit des Kolonialismus. Im deutschen Reich war der Hamburger Carl Hagenbeck ein Großunternehmer in diesem Gewerbe. Seine Anwerber begaben sich in Kolonien und abgelegene Weltgegenden und versuchten, möglichst große Gruppen der dortigen Einwohner zu einem Aufenthalt in Europa zu bewegen – mit Überredungskraft, finanziellen Anreizen und auch mittels Druck. Carl Hagenbeck eröffnete seine erste Menschenausstellung mit Lappländern 1874 in Hamburg, dann folgten Berlin und Leipzig. 1876 kamen drei „Nubier“ nach Deutschland. 1880 folgten die Inuit, von deren Aufenthalt die untenstehenden Schriftquellen stammen (Siehe auch „Zeitgenosse“ Abraham Urikab). 1884 organsierte Hagenbeck eine „Kalmücken“ (richtig Oiraten) – Schau, darauf folgte eine Ceylonschau. Alle Schauen wurden so inszeniert, dass künstliche Gebäude im „Stil“ des Herkunftslands als Behausungen zu sehen waren und die Fremden „ihre“ Handwerke, Gesänge und Tänze vorführten. Den ganzen Tag lang wurden sie bei einem künstlich wiedererschaffenen Alltagsleben angeschaut. Hagenbecks Erfolg war überragend. 1908 konnte er den Zoo

  • La Girafe De Charles X
    Compléments au dossier Zarafa, rédigé par Lolita Ruffino La girafe de Charles X Dès l’Antiquité, les Européens connaissaient l’existence des girafes. Certaines avaient été importées d’Afrique pour participer aux jeux du cirque à Rome. C’était cependant assez rare. Après la chute de l’Empire romain, pendant mille ans, au- cune girafe n’a été transportée en Europe. Il a fallu attendre le XVe siècle, pour que la famille Médicis de Florence reçoive une girafe du sultan d’Égypte et à nouveau plus de trois cent cinquante ans avant de voir une girafe en France. Un cadeau diplomatique pour le roi Méhémet-Ali, vice-roi et pacha d’Égypte, souhaitait renforcer ses liens avec les royaumes européens. Il décida d’envoyer un cadeau spectaculaire, deux jeunes gi- rafes, une au roi de France, Charles X (1824-1830), et une au roi d’Angleterre, George IV (1820-1830). Les deux animaux furent capturés sur les bords du Nil Bleu, très en amont de Khartoum au Soudan. Les mères furent immédiatement tuées car in- domptables et difficilement transportables. Après un premier voyage de plus de 3000 km, les girafons arrivèrent à Alexandrie. Un prétendu tirage au sort aurait dé- cidé du sort des deux animaux : Londres ou Paris. En fait, la décision avait déjà été prise et la plus vaillante et la plus âgée était destinée à la France. La plus chétive fut envoyée en Angleterre où elle mourut quelques mois plus tard. La girafe fran- çaise fit l’objet de préparatifs minutieux. Elle partit pour la France accompagnée de deux antilopes et trois vaches pour garantir le lait indispensable à sa survie.
