Pets in America pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
Entertaining and informative, "Pets in America" is a portrait of Americans' relationships with the cats, dogs, birds, fishes, rodents, and other animals we call our own. More than 60 percent of U.S. households have pets, and America grows more pet-friendly every day. But as Katherine Grier demonstrates, the ways we talk about and treat our pets--as companions, as children, and as objects of beauty, status, or pleasure--have their origins long ago.Grier begins with a natural history of animals as pets, then discusses the changing role of pets in family life, new standards of animal welfare, the problems presented by borderline cases such as livestock pets, and the marketing of both animals and pet products. She focuses particularly on the period between 1840 and 1940, when the emotional, behavioral, and commercial characteristics of contemporary pet keeping were established. The story is peppered with the warmth and humor of anecdotes from period diaries, letters, catalogs, and newspapers.Filled with illustrations reflecting the whimsy, the devotion, and the commerce that have shaped centuries of American pet keeping, "Pets in America" ultimately shows how the history of pets has evolved alongside changing ideas about human nature, child development, and community life.This book accompanies a museum exhibit, "Pets in America," which opens at the McKissick Museum in Columbia, South Carolina, in December 2005 and will travel to five other cities from May 2006 through May 2008.
KATHERINE C. GRIER is professor of material culture studies, Winterthur Program in Early American Culture, Winterthur Museum, Garden, and Library and the University of Delaware. She lives in Wilmington, Delaware, and Onancock, Virginia, with her husband, two cats, and two dogs.
偏重物質現象描繪的物質文化史。深度上確實不及各種理論加持的那種物質文化研究,但也還不錯,抓住瞭很重要的命題:人與寵物的關係其實不體現在動物上,這種關係本質上是人以動物為對象,對自我認識的投射。研究架構按照寵物博物史、人與寵物的互動形態、傢庭倫理的興起、位於邊緣的寵物物種、消費寵物、寵物消費等六個專題進行組織,邏輯清晰全麵,非常富有啓發意義。
