    Content: The concept of 'modernity' is central to many disciplines, but what is modernity to animals? Susan Nance answers this question through a radical reinterpretation of the life of Jumbo the elephant. In the 1880s, consumers, the media, zoos, circuses and taxidermists, and (unknowingly) Jumbo himself, transformed the elephant from an orphan of the global ivory trade and zoo captive into a distracting international celebrity. Citizens on two continents imaged Jumbo as a sentient individual and pet, but were aghast when he died in an industrial accident and his remains were absorbed by the taxidermic and animal rendering industries reserved for anonymous animals. The case of Jumbo exposed the 'human dilemma' of modern living, wherein people celebrated individual animals to cope or distract themselves from the wholesale slaughter of animals required by modern consumerism.

    Content: Americans have always shown a fascination with the people, customs, and legends of the "East"--witness the popularity of the stories of the Arabian Nights, the performances of Arab belly dancers and acrobats, the feats of turban-wearing vaudeville magicians, and even the antics of fez-topped Shriners. In this captivating volume, Susan Nance provides a social and cultural history of this highly popular genre of Easternized performance in America until the Great Depression. According to Nance, these traditions reveal how a broad spectrum of Americans, including recent immigrants and im

Human predation-hunting ; Lesson 6. Animals employed as story and entertainment ; Lesson 7. Animals as data ; Lesson 8. Animals and modern consumerism -- Assessment Options -- Enrichment Materials.
    Content: Introduction: There has never been any purely human space in world history--ever. This course explores the history of human ideas about and uses of animals, and important ways of interpreting that past in order to understand the lives of historical animals from antiquity to the present. The course has four goals: 1. To understand how human-animal relationships changed over time since antiquity with the advent and development of human ascendancy on the planet; 2. To understand how ideas about and uses of animals changed due to the development of Christianity, the scientific method, capitalism, and urbanization; 3. To identify and explain the many contradictions in historical ideas about and uses of animals; 4. To encourage students to think about how and why, animal behavior and its change over time are not documented or explained in the assigned readings, and thus the anthropocentrism inherent in the academic study of animals in the past (such as it has been over the last twenty-five years)
