Schultz-Figueroa examines rarely seen behaviorist films of animal experiments from the 1930s and 1940s. These laboratory recordings--including Robert Yerkes's work with North American primate colonies, Yale University's rat-based simulations of human society, and B. F. Skinner's promotions for pigeon-guided missiles--have long been considered passive records of scientific research. In Schultz-Figueroa's incisive analysis, however, they are revealed to be rich historical, political, and aesthetic texts that played a crucial role in American scientific and cultural history--and remain foundational to contemporary conceptions of species, race, identity, and society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benjamin Schultz-Figueroa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520342348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520342347\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Benjamin Schultz-Figueroa","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44079164063999,"sku":"9780520342347","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_795509d7-c8c5-4d0d-8f68-cd74165d8d05.jpg?v=1685479664","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-celluloid-specimen-benjamin-schultz-figueroa-9780520342347","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
