It is widely known that such Western institutions as the museum, the university, and the penitentiary shaped Japan’s emergence as a modern nation-state. Less commonly recognized is the role played by the distinctly hybrid institution—at once museum, laboratory, and prison—of the zoological garden. In this eye-opening study of Japan’s first modern zoo, Tokyo’s Ueno Imperial Zoological Gardens, opened in 1882, Ian Jared Miller offers a refreshingly unconventional narrative of Japan’s rapid modernization and changing relationship with the natural world. As the first zoological garden in the world not built under the sway of a Western imperial regime, the Ueno Zoo served not only as a staple attraction in the nation’s capital—an institutional marker of national accomplishment—but also as a site for the propagation of a new “natural” order that was scientifically verifiable and evolutionarily foreordained. As the Japanese empire grew, Ueno became one of the primary sites of imperialist spectacle, a microcosm of the empire that could be traveled in the course of a single day. The meaning of the zoo would change over the course of Imperial Japan’s unraveling and subsequent Allied occupation. Today it remains one of Japan’s most frequently visited places. But instead of empire in its classic political sense, it now bespeaks the ambivalent dominion of the human species over the natural environment, harkening back to its imperial roots even as it asks us to question our exploitation of the planet’s resources.

動物園如何能夠成為溝通人，自然，動物之間的橋料，以及這種溝通如何通過現代性的文化和政治建設實現。可是這種對自然的割裂，控製，和展示本身是現代性的一部分，更是十九世紀以降帝國政治文化的一部分。
评分被告知這是一個五星級專著——我不同意。不超過四星。
评分不是僅僅關於動物園的書，討論的主題是日本生態現代性。普林斯頓的日本史教授Federico Marcon也是做的環境史。可見環境史近年來在東亞研究領域裏的發展態勢之猛
评分如果這是2000年的書確實不錯，但是2013年還在講現代性建構瞭人和自然的區彆雲雲……
评分哥倫比亞大學2004年博士論文【另，Nigel Rothfels的博士論文Savages and Beasts】
