Savages and Beasts pdf epub mobi 圖書描述

To modern sensibilities, nineteenth-century zoos often seem to be unnatural places where animals led miserable lives in cramped, wrought-iron cages. Today zoo animals, in at least the better zoos, wander in open spaces that resemble natural habitats and are enclosed, not by bars, but by moats, cliffs, and other landscape features. In Savages and Beasts, Nigel Rothfels traces the origins of the modern zoo to the efforts of the German animal entrepreneur Carl Hagenbeck.

By the late nineteenth century, Hagenbeck had emerged as the world's undisputed leader in the capture and transport of exotic animals. His business included procuring and exhibiting indigenous peoples in highly profitable spectacles throughout Europe and training exotic animals -- humanely, Hagenbeck advertised -- for circuses around the world. When in 1907 the Hagenbeck Animal Park opened in a village near Hamburg, Germany, Hagenbeck brought together all his business interests in a revolutionary zoological park. He moved wild animals out of their cages and into "natural landscapes" alongside "primitive" peoples from Africa, Asia, the Americas, and the islands of the Pacific. Hagenbeck had invented a new way of imagining captivity: the animals and people on exhibit appeared to be living in the wilds of their native lands.

By looking at Hagenbeck's multiple enterprises, Savages and Beasts demonstrates how seemingly enlightened ideas about the role of zoos and the nature of animal captivity developed within the essentially tawdry business of placing exotic creatures on public display. Rothfels provides both fascinating reading and much-needed historical perspective on the nature of our relationship with the animal kingdom.

Savages and Beasts pdf epub mobi 用戶評價

評分☆☆☆☆☆

圍繞 Carl Hagenbeck的動物生意展開的介紹，在這個基礎上，現代動物園的（建築和文化景觀的）前世既包括美景宮這樣的皇傢園林，也融閤瞭馬戲團、流動大篷車和亞非歐商品貿易等社會曆史變化，動物的跨洲際運輸也和其他商品（如樹膠、油等）貿易互補。動物的捕獵和收集對上層貴族而言是權力與知識的滿足和展示，對社會大眾而言是野蠻到文明的展示和習得。對早期動物園也沒必要抱著太大的惡意，因為今天所謂的通過動物園去宣傳科學、環境等觀念，早在一百年前就有瞭，而作者也指齣對於 Carl 這樣的大商人而言，他是真心熱愛他的動物和people show（不是把他們當動物展示而是當人類，當然這也是有爭議的）。

評分☆☆☆☆☆

因為前陣子寜波動物園的事件一時興起去看的書，寫得挺有意思的。故事基本集中在Carl Hagenbeck身上，講他的animals trade, people shows, 以及zoological gardens. 看完之後總覺得書的大標題savages and beasts取得有點偏 - isn't the book almost a biography of Hagenbeck? 另外，看這本書的時候我想到瞭小時候在奎山公園裏有人擺牌子說可以參觀美女蛇。我當時攥著剛拿到的壓歲錢真的很想去看，但是又因為害怕那蛇身人頭的生物所以沒有去看過。現在還是很好奇，ta們是真的嗎？
